Pet care experience

Friendly, fun and SAFE for all pets

I have been working with dogs professionally and casually for 20+ years. I have experience with show dogs, including minimal handling in the UKC show ring for a friend. For a breeder I assisted with pregnant and nursing bitches as well as the pups from birth onward. I have worked with a vet as a young adult and know how to administer medication in pill form, submucosal form, oral liquid, intramuscular injection and subcutaneous injection. I have worked with dogs of all sizes, many breeds and many temperaments. I make sure dogs are well exercised on walks, so they are relaxed and fulfilled when the walk is over. I have a strong attention to detail and will make sure to follow the orders of the most discerning owners.

Safety, trust & environment

For house sitting clients I come and go throughout the stay so that I may see to the needs of my other clients. I stay over each night following the established routine of the pet's household.

Erica came over for two drop-in visits to reconnect with our cats and to review their daily routines before starting house sitting. She is an attentive, thoughtful, and compassionate pet care professional.

Erica did a wonderful job taking care of our cats while house sitting. She is a friendly, kind, and assiduous professional who went above and beyond when needed. Erica quickly texted us when one of our cats started having a GI tract issue. We contacted our vet, and Erica drove to the vet’s office not once, but twice, to pick up meds. Erica sent us frequent, informative updates. We are thankful for Erica’s timely communications, attention to detail, and willingness to go beyond expectations while taking excellent care of our cats and our home.

Erica is the best dog sitter you could wish for! She stayed with our two small dogs for the 2nd time. She gave us regular updates and was very attentive to folllw instructions and help keep them to their normal schedule. She gave them lots of attention which keeps them happy. She also left the house nice & tidy. I highlight recommend her.

Erica is a great dog sitter! We left on a week long vacation and she stayed at our house with our two “Velcro” Havanese. She came a few times before our trip to get acquainted with them which was helpful. She truly understands dog behavior & my dogs adjusted well to her having a good “staycation”. She asked detailed questions and followed their routine. She even tried new things with them - licking mats after I explained they liked to lick to soothe themselves. She sent regular updates which gave us piece of mind to enjoy our vacation. Our house was in great shape when we returned with happy dogs who were less stressed staying in their own house with Erica who gave them love and attention. I would highly recommend Erica!

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs

I have no breed or size preferences. I have worked with dogs with special needs such as separation anxiety, fear aggression, senior dogs, and puppies. We will discuss all of your pet's individual needs before booking and especially at the meet and greet. We will discuss feed and exercise routines, along with any other expectations.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
