Highlights
Pet care experience
Huge Animal Lover
I have been around animals for as long as I can remember, beginning with cats in early childhood. At the age of seven, I got my first dog, which further strengthened my passion for animal care. I later worked at a kennel, where I received hands-on experience and training in many aspects of pet care, including recognizing behavioral cues to better understand animals’ emotions and needs. During my time there, I learned how to administer medications and injections, including insulin for diabetic animals and supplements for those requiring daily care. I also gained experience working with handicapped dogs, including tripod and wheelchair-assisted dogs, as well as animals of various ages. In addition to my professional experience, I personally cared for my own senior dog, which provided me with extensive knowledge and understanding of senior pet care

Safety, trust & environment
I have kennel experience which has provided me the training needed to take care of people's fur children while they are away. I also have experience with reactive dogs, as I worked with several of them while working at the kennel, and grew up with one of my own.
Ratings and reviews
Erica is the most loving person to animals I've ever seen. She doesn't just care for them She bonds with them. My current pit bull absolutely loves her and she frequently helps my wife take her to the vet when I'm at work. She also was a huge help with our previous dog, who had serious health issues towards the end. She was supportive to us and Jada and helped us in ways I can't really describe emotionally. She also has a fantastic way of knowing their personalities
I've honestly not met someone who cares so much for all living creatures as Erica has. While we lived together, she both helped care for my dog as if it were her own and cared for her own dog. She adopted this dog, whom she named Lucacita. Lucacita was an older dog who was rescued from the Dominican Republic. She was a cranky old lady who took to Erica so well. Erica did all she could to care for this dog for several years before time finally caught up with Lucacita. I truly believe that Lucacita had the best life she could have with Erica.
