I work from home, so can do drop in during the work day as needed. I rescued my cat from a shelter 6 years ago and have given him proper care for his health problems. I have the most experience with taking care of cats, but can help with dogs as well with instructions!

Pet care experience

I have raised my senior cat for the past 6 years. He has needed medical care, and I’ve been sure to provide them. I also regularly volunteer at the animal shelter, where I provide care and attention to the dogs and cats there. I also have experience with dog walking as well, if you have a dog to be looked after! Will note that I have a preference to take care of dogs around 20 pounds.

Erica was very attentive and went above and beyond to take care of my cat. Most sitters think just because it’s a cat they just need to show up and do nothing so I appreciate when someone actually takes care of my cat and makes sure he’s good. Definitely highly recommend!

Erica is great! Can’t wait for her to sit for the boys again in the future!

Being the owner of a cat herself, Erica understands the need for an attentive and empathetic petsitter. She also has experience with pets with different temperaments as a petsitter for her friends' cats. One of her strengths is communication, so it will be very easy to schedule with her and request updates if needed.

Erica has watched my 2 Maltese dogs (when they were puppies and as adults) for the past 5 years I’ve had them when needed. She’s the only who introduced me to them and since has been active. She’s takes the on walks, feeds them, and even clean their faces. She’s super patience and gentle with my 10 pound dogs. Never once have they barked or show any signs of mistreatment- they actually love her! I would recommend her to friends who whoever wants a dog sitter. She’s been a great help and anyone would be lucky to have her!!
