Pet care is a natural part of my daily life — it’s not something I squeeze in, it’s something I genuinely enjoy and prioritize. When I’m pet sitting, I make sure each visit gets my full attention. I build my days around your pet’s routine — whether that means early morning check-ins, midday playtime, or evening feedings and cuddles. I love the calm rhythm of spending time with animals and giving them consistent care and affection.

About Erica G.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
When caring for pets in a client’s home, my focus is on maintaining their normal routine and creating a calm, comfortable environment. I follow each pet’s care plan closely, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, and medication needs. Dogs enjoy plenty of exercise and positive attention, while cats receive patient care, a clean litter box, and affection at their own pace. I’m experienced in recognizing behavioral or appetite changes and responding with gentle attention and communication. Each visit includes fresh food and water, a tidy environment, and attentive care tailored to your pet’s personality. I also provide regular updates and photos, so you can travel with peace of mind knowing your pets are safe and well cared for.
Information Erica G. would like to know about your pet
I love getting to know each pet’s unique personality and routine before I start sitting for them! It helps me make their care feel just like home. Please share things like: Feeding times and favorite treats. Any medications or health needs. How they feel about new people or other animals. Their favorite toys, games, or cozy spots. Anything that might make them nervous or need extra care. The more I know, the more comfortable and happy your pets will be while you’re away!
A typical day
Every pet has unique needs, so I tailor my care to their personality, age, and comfort level. Dogs enjoy engaging walks, playtime, and positive reinforcement, while cats receive gentle attention, enrichment, and plenty of calm companionship. My goal is to provide a safe, loving environment where every pet feels happy, relaxed, and truly cared for while you’re away.

Pet care experience
Part time remote worker here who is able to give all the care and love your furry friends need while you're away. I’ve been caring for pets for over 15 years — everything from energetic puppies to wise senior dogs and curious kittens. I understand that every animal has its own personality and needs, and I take pride in adapting my care to each one. Insured and bonded for your pet's protection! For cats, I bring 13 years of first hand experience as a devoted cat mom, including caring for senior cats who need a little extra patience and love. I’m comfortable administering oral medication, monitoring appetite and hydration, and creating a calm environment that keeps pets feeling safe and loved. I’ve also worked with rescue animals and shy pets who need extra time to warm up. My calm, nurturing energy helps them build trust quickly. Whether it’s a long walk, gentle play, brushing sessions, or making sure litter boxes are fresh and spotless, I treat every pet as if they were my own.

Reviews
I can’t give enough stars for Erica! This is the second time she has been able to stay with my cat Lily, and both times have been fantastic. Super communicative, pet-focused and I couldn’t have asked for any better situation. I know this may mean that she isn’t always available, but she really is an amazing sitter and your pet deserves the treatment!
Erica was fantastic sitting for my cat Lily while I was on vacation. It was a last minute request due to a family illness, and it couldn’t have worked out better. Erica provided multiple daily updates/photos, and I I could tell Lily was very comfortable. I will absolutely use Erica again!
Erica watched our kitten for us twice and she was amazing. She played with her a lot, made sure she was fed on time, cleaned up the litter, and sent me updates with pictures the whole time. I would recommend her to anyone.
