Erica was over and above all expectations. She was always timely in arriving and a nice walk. We (including my dog Nellie) could not have been happier. Will definitely use Erica again.

Erica was awesome for our fuzzy baby. She quickly got the hang of all the nuances of her schedule, and was very prompt and communicative with updates and questions! Highly recommend!

Wonderful experience with Erica. We boarded our two dogs with her for 5 nights and she took great care of them, she played with them, walked them and even brushed them. She sent regular pictures and updates. Our dogs were happy and got along with her two dogs, a great time all around!
