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.

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.

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.

Please let me know if your dog is reactive, does not like eye contact, any other triggers that may cause them to be agitated, food allergies or sensitivities. Safety is very important during my visits.
