Reviews
Erica was amazing with Gus! Gus can be a bit stand-offish and has a bit of a personality but Erica was able to engage him. She played with him and took long walks. She was able to introduce her dog to him successfully. I would hire her again in a minute if needed!
Erica is a great pet sitter she communicates well with the owner and did a great job taking care of my dog Ruby. She was clean and respectful of my home and did a wonderful job I would strongly recommend her
We boarded our dog with Erica in her home when we went on vacation and I can't recommend her highly enough! Erica made the whole process so easy. She suggested a pre-boarding meeting in her home so Mia could get acclimated and Erica could get to know her. Erica has the perfect temperament for caring for animals. She is kind, gentle and professional, communicates clearly and responded to my texts and messages promptly. It was great to get pictures and texts each day so I could see how Mia was doing. Erica went out of her way to care for my dog as if she were one of her own and I will definitely board Mia with her again.
Erica did a great job of caring for my two German shepherds while I was away for a weekend. Not only that, I think my house was cleaner when I got home then when I left! Would definitely recommend her services, and I would be very comfortable booking her again.

Safety, trust & environment
It is important to give pets love, attention and exercise. I offer walks and t.l.c. If pets require medicine or specific care I will be sure to follow directions
Information Erica J. would like to know about your pet
It is important to know the dog's activity level and preferred physical activity requirements or limitations. It is important to know if the dog is housebroken, has been spayed/ neutered, is aggressive to other dogs or people or kids. It is important to know what they eat and the routine of feeding. It is important to know their emergency and vet information and if they are microchipped. It is important to know if the dog has any medical issues. It is good to know the dog's breed and weight and any preferred toys and treats they enjoy. At night are they crated, or on a dog bed and where do they like to sleep. Can they be alone if you need to run to the store. Can they ride along in the car with you.
A typical day
I love to stimulate dogs physically and mentally. I have a big backyard and a creek for walking and exploring. I don't have a fenced in yard yet but will make sure your dog is safe on his or her leash. I have trails and parks near my home
