I am a stay-at-home mom, so I am with the dogs all day. I work on getting them out while taking care of the kiddos in the mornings. We have a loose schedule that we follow, but it is easy to shift and adjust.

Information Erica J. would like to know about your pet

I just need to know how they are with other dogs, cats, and kiddos so I can be prepared. I would also like to know any preferences the owner has. I want to do things just like they do at home.

A typical day

We have a fenced in back yard where we can play fetch. We can also walk around the rest of our yard. We live in a small neighborhood so we can walk around it. There are also several parks and trails just a bit up the road..

Fenced in yard with lots of friends

Pet care experience

We are animal lovers!! We have five dogs and two cats. Our dogs are a loud, rowdy bunch but they enjoy having new friends to play with. We will sometimes take more than one guest pup at a time. We also have a couple of day care pups that come from time to time. I have always had pets. Starting in high school, I worked at the veterinarian’s office as a kennel worker on the weekends and during the summer. Later, I began working as a groomers assistant at Happy Tails grooming in Hot Springs. I was able to learn a lot about dogs and cats and how to care for them properly. Our animals have free rein over our home, everyone is allowed on the furniture and we always love to snuggle with pups! We have a seven-year-old girl who loves dogs, as well as a baby!! Our kiddos are learning how to interact with dogs safely and to respect their space and needs. I have cared for several dogs with different issues (heartworms, epilepsy, injuries, anxiety issues, medications, etc.). I want to care for your pups just like you do at home so just let me know. We have a fenced in back yard where the dogs can play to their hearts content. No need to bring toys—our back yard is filled with ropes, balls, and chew toys. We would LOVE to meet your pets and watch them for you. About our pets: Zadie: yellow lab mix-Zadie is very shy at first but is fun loving once she gets comfortable. Oreo: English bull dog/weenie dog mix (yes for real haha)- Oreo is our super chunk! She eats anything and everything she gets a hold of so we have to watch her carefully. Most of the time she loves napping on the couch (like cat...I'm fairly certain she thinks that she is a cat). But every once in a while she gets some spunk and races around the yard with the other dogs. Nova: husky mix- She is a HANDFUL! She is a fence climber and a social butterfly. She has many friends throughout the neighborhood haha. But she is super friendly and always makes best friends with the guest pups immediately. She is always so exhausted at the end of each stay. Stormy-mixed breed. We took in Stormy for a short time (at first). She was a dog that had been abandoned and was pregnant. We worked with our local humane society and planned on rehoming her once her puppies were placed. Obviously that was a failure lol. She is the sweetest dog in the world. She is just absolutely fantastic. Rosie- husky/Dalmatian mix- Rosie is a crazy handful. She is sweet and playful. She just turned 2. Rascal: Cat-Rascal is a pretty good sized tom cat. He is very sweet and actually likes playing with dogs. Those are our pets, I hope you choose us to watch your furbabies!

Erica did a great job taking care of our dog Maggie. She is friendly, responsive, and cares for her guest as her own. We would definitely use her again. Thank you, Erica for doing an awesome job!
