Highlights
Pet care experience
Would love to love your animal ❤️
Hello! My name is Erica and I really, really love dogs. I recently lost my sweet little one and I am looking to surround myself with some furry friends as I am currently unable to foster or adopt. I have had 3 dogs, two with special medical needs (doxies with back problems) and did some pet sitting while I was in graduate school for about 2 years. I love to play and engage pets but I can also provide a safe and secure environment for them to feel calm and at ease. I have lots of experience with senior dogs (medication administration, prescription food, adaptive walking styles, diaper changes) but I love caring for animals of all ages. I look forward to meeting your pet and giving them the love and care they deserve.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I follow all owner instructions very carefully. If your dog is reactive I will actively seek routes that create a calm and safe walk routine. I do not let the dogs walk in front of me and I do not allow pulling. I will always use varied schedules of reinforcement with motivating rewards and redirecting unwanted behaviors.

Schedule
I work full time except on Fridays. I am available on the weekends for visits and walks. I care for my own animals daily as well so I cannot board at this time.
