Experienced Animal Lover
Pet care experience
I have lived with a big dog my whole life and have been dog sitting for neighbors, friends, and family since I was 15. I have experience watching all kinds of dog breeds, cats, rabbits, chickens, and more. I don't just drop in to take your pet on a walk, I treat each pet like a member of the family and give it the attention it needs, recognizing it's not fun to be alone often!
Reviews
Erica did great with my cat and took great pictures! Highly recommend her to watch your fur baby!
Erica was great! Excellent at communicating and very flexible. We will surely book again!
Great communicator and made sure my pup was well taken care of :)
Erica was amazing! She took great care of my older rabbit, and was flexible when we had to reschedule drop-in visits due to cancelled flights. She sent photos of my bunny every visit, and he was a very happy bun when we got home!

Safety, trust & environment
I will happily stay with your pet to ensure they are comfortable and get the attention they need. If your pet seems anxious and doesn't eat much while their owner is away, I will sit with the pet and hand-feed until they get enough food in their body that I can be comfortable leaving them (I have watched many anxious dogs and this always seems to help!)
Information Erica G. would like to know about your pet
I would like to know if there are any quirks with the dogs. For example, will your dog start to bark the second they see another dog? Does your dog wait by the door as a way to tell you they have to go out? Do they expect a treat every time they come inside?
A typical day
After getting plenty of pets and belly rubs when I first walk through the door, I love taking dogs on walks, especially when they've been cooped up all day. Letting the dog take his/her time and smell all of the exciting smells outside is important, and I am always patient with them. We'll go as far or as short as they want!

Availability
I currently wore from home and can be flexible when getting out during the day to go see a pet. I am a recent college graduate and new to the area, so I am excited to experience more of the area (while getting my dog fix in!)
