Pet care experience

Your furry kid is my furry kid!

I’ve spent a lifetime around dogs, from growing up with big, fluffy, drooly pups to caring for my own miniature poodle princess. While I am currently in between dogs, I’m the go-to ‘dog aunt’ for friends and family whenever they need daycare, drop-ins and sleepovers. I have experience administering medications, including having managed multiple daily meds for my senior dog and giving injections to my dog niece. I’ve also fostered and volunteered at Fluff Animal Rescue, gaining hands-on experience with dogs of all temperaments. In addition to regularly dog-sitting and boarding for friends and neighbors, I’ve recently been focusing on puppy training with great success! I live right off the Pinellas Trail so walks are easy and frequent! I work from home so I am always around during the day and can accommodate as many potty and zoomie breaks as needed!

Erica was great, sent lots of photos of Leia! We got daily morning updates on how the prior day went, with highlights of what they did and how Leia was adjusting. We appreciate Erica so much!

Erica is great! She provided me with daily updates and pictures. I know my dog absolutely loved spending time with her and I was not worried for a second.

Erica was great with our pug Maddy. She followed all instructions and supported Maddy's routines; making it easy for maddy to settle in with Erika. You can just tell that she thoroughly enjoys the animals she watches.

Erica was so great with our Tino!! He can have some separation anxiety when we are away and he did so well since she made him feel right at home. He had so much fun and got to do all of his favorite things – walks, sunbath, sniffs, cuddles and rides 💙

Erica was great with our 2 yr old pug, Maddy. When it was time to leave, Maddy didn't want to go! Good communication throughout. Great job.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fully fenced yard to ensure all playtime is safe and contained and am happy to crate any dogs when necessary. I am close to the Pinellas Trail so providing a safe place for daily walks is no problem.

A typical day

I love playtime almost as much as the dogs! We spend time playing fetch/frisbee in the backyard and maybe even a bit of chasing the squirrels (if parent approved!). I have a big toy basket of freshly cleaned "babies" for inside tug of war, fetch or just to snuggle and relax with. Don't forget lots of walks! We can even go for a ride in the truck (which could result in a stop at the park!) so long as mom and dad say yes!

I am happy to accommodate any of your pets special needs - even if it is just a little quirk (like Ginger will only eat and drink outside and from a clear bowl). I just ask that you provide any such needs in advance and give me written instructions to avoid any confusion or miscommunication.
