Experienced & dedicated dog walker!
Pet care experience
I have years of experience with dogs of all sizes, but especially pit bull type dogs. I’ve volunteered with AHS Tinton Falls, MCSPCA and various local dog rescues. I also spent a year walking dogs full time when I was between jobs. Additionally, I am enrolled with the Victoria Stilwell Academy and plan on receiving my certification in positive reinforcement dog training (VSA-CDT) later this year! I truly love all animals. I also have experience in reptile care, as I am “Mom” to a bearded dragon and a ball python (in addition to my two rescue senior pit bull type dogs).
Reviews
Erica, was great with Leah, she followed her routine of feeding, cleaning & playing with her. She was ontime with all her appointments and was extremely attentive to her personality. I would use Erica again & highly recommend her for all your pets needs! Jim
Erica is a fantastic walker! She truly loves the pets she cares for, and they love her back! She's prompt and takes her time with my pet, giving her attention and belly rubs! I'd highly recommend Erica to anyone that needs pet services!
Researching a dog walker who can be helpful with your dog's leash manners? Erica is not only great for getting my dog to do her "business" but provides love, attention & a thorough follow up so I feel confident that my pup had a great time! Insightful, passionate, understanding & cutest doggo pics-- Erica is simply the best. <3
Erica is our go-to for taking care of our pups! We have a 1 year old bubbly puppy, balanced by our 7 yr old pitbull, who is a sweet but is a bit particular on her walks and selective with other pups. Erica is a pro at working with their unique (and adorable) personalities. She uses positive reinforcement to distract and calm our pittie when things get hectic in the neighborhood. She always gives us detailed updates and pictures. It’s hard leaving our “babies”, but I know they are in great hands with Erica! She cares so much about pups and gives them the personalized attention they deserve. Highly recommended and trusted!

Safety, trust & environment
In my home, my dogs get 4 solid walks a day. Whatever your dog or dogs need, whether it’s a romp through the yard, a trip to the park, or a long walk - let me know!
Information Erica K. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your dog is reactive, if you prefer to take a certain route on the walk, or if there are any meds or meals that need to be handled. I do not condone the use of aversive training tools on your dog. If you’d like to hire me to walk your pup, please know I will not use a prong collar, choke chain or shock/“e” collar. Thank you for understanding.
A typical day
If a dog has a special toy they love to play with, or just wants to cuddle, I’ll do whatever they wish to make them happy! Sometimes all it takes is a fun “sniffari” where we take a relaxing stroll, sniffing anything and everything!
