Fun, fresh air, and lots of love!

Pet care experience

My name is Erica and I've been a pet care provider for the past 15 years. I grew up caring for dogs and have experience with a wide variety of breeds and ages. I also have experience caring for cats and ensure the cats under my care always have fresh water, food, and lots of love. I have trained dogs, hosted foster dogs in my home, provided daily walks, and have loved getting to know each and every one of my clients and their owners. I believe in lots of love and belly rubs, plenty of fresh air and exercise, and a relaxing comfortable place to unwind and sleep at night. I love to keep dogs healthy and happy, and I know how much it means to have a pet care provider who truly cares about your pets. When you book a walk or boarding or a house stay with me, you can rest assured knowing your dog or cat is being provided the best of care (and receive plenty of updates and photos along the way!).

Erica took great care of our two whippets when we visited the Chicago area this past Summer. They are usually skittish but were absolutely relaxed when I picked them up after our humans-only concert. I also liked that she had a Little Free Library in the front of her house (yeah - books).

Erica took care of our pup for a few days when we were away for our wedding. She was amazing! Even cleaned up our dogs mess when he had an accident a few times in our house!

Eric is a terrific sitter! We've had her sit our challenging pup 15 times over the past 6 months and she always has handled him very well. Her training as a grade school teacher seems to carry over very well to dogs. We would use her all the time, but she has moved from our area and is busy with school.

Information Erica J. would like to know about your pet

I would love to know what your dog enjoys doing, where their favorite spot is to be petted, and their temperament. It's also helpful to know how they get along with other dogs and what their favorite treats are! I want to know all of the details that will help your pet be comfortable and cared for.

A typical day

When I care for your pup we will get lots of fresh air and exercise! I live in a beautiful friendly and quiet neighborhood where I walk my dog Tucker multiple times each day. We also live near a dog park where we get to make new friends all the time. We'll play fetch, stretch our legs, run around, and then relax at home, always under my caring watch! Your pet will have lots of love and will be well cared for.
