Safety, trust & environment

I provide a safe, comfortable, and pet-friendly environment in my home, where pets can feel at ease. My home is pet-proofed with plenty of space for them to play and relax. I ensure that pets have access to fresh water, healthy food, and regular potty breaks. I also offer daily walks, interactive playtime, and mental stimulation through puzzles or toys. If a pet is more low-key, I’ll provide a cozy spot for naps and plenty of cuddle time. I keep a consistent routine to help pets feel secure, while also ensuring they get the attention and care they need. For Care in the Client's Home: When caring for pets in their own homes, I focus on maintaining their routine as closely as possible to reduce stress. I ensure they’re fed on time, get regular exercise, and receive lots of attention and affection. I’m happy to follow any specific instructions the owner provides, whether that’s regarding feeding, medications, or daily activities. I also keep the home tidy, take out trash, and bring in mail or packages as needed. My goal is to make the pet feel loved and safe, while respecting their home environment.

Information Erica F. would like to know about your pet

When caring for a fur friend, knowing as much as possible ahead of time helps ensure the best experience for both the pet and myself!

A typical day

I love keeping pets active and engaged with a variety of fun activities! Depending on the pet's energy level and preferences, I enjoy going on walks, playing fetch, and having outdoor adventures. I also do enrichment activities like puzzle games, tug-of-war, and interactive play to keep them mentally stimulated. For more relaxed pets, I’ll spend quality time cuddling or offering gentle grooming. My goal is to make sure every pet has a great time and feels comfortable and safe while in my care!

Pet care experience

What sets me apart from other sitters is my deep love and genuine care for animals, especially dogs. As a proud dog owner of my own energetic 2 year old golden doodle pup named Teddy, I understand the unique bond between humans and their pets. I bring a personal touch to every sitting experience, ensuring dogs feel safe, loved, and at ease while I'm caring for them. In addition to being a dedicated dog parent, I have experience with a wide range of dogs, from puppies to seniors. I’m comfortable handling basic training, ensuring your pup has a positive and enriching experience with me. I know how important it is to maintain routine, especially with puppies who are learning and senior dogs who may need a little extra care. My goal is to provide a personalized experience that caters to each dog’s unique needs and personality. Whether it's playtime, walks, or simply offering companionship, I take pride in making sure every dog in my care is treated like family.

Erica was delightful. She was prompt and professional, super friendly and confident. She met all my expectations and was a great communicator. We will be using her again for certain for our pet care needs.

Erica F. arrived on time both days to take care of our dog, who had never been separated from us before. She kept us updated with regular photos and texts of our pup. Our dog bonded with Erica F. right away, thanks to her sweet and friendly rapport. She walked him and played fetch with him - both things he loves to do! She was the perfect caregiver for our dog while we were away! Highly recommend!
