Specialize in dominant/large breeds

Pet care experience

I have 18+ years of experience working with dogs, with 6 of those as a veterinary assistant. I have four dogs of my own ranging from ages 3-11. I have fostered dogs of every breed and size with multiple rescues over the last 4 years. I also provide behavioral training to those in need. I am able to confidently provide pack walks when needed. I also offer discounts to families with multiple pets. Rest assured that knowing that your pet will be well taken care of with me.

Erica is fantastic with our Missy! She puts a lot of time and effort into making sure our dog gets the exercise and stimulation she needs while we’re away. She genuinely cares about Missy and we couldn’t be happier with the care she provides. It is easy to see that Erica is a true dog person. She understands our complicated dog and it is easy to see how much she loves to be around her. Erica is also a fantastic communicator and extremely reliable. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a loving and knowledgeable caregiver for their fur baby!

Erica is FANTASTIC. I am one crazy dog mom and I don’t trust my dogs with many people. I hired Erica because my pups were not getting enough excerise on the weekdays with my busy work schedule and that just wasn’t fair to them. Upon meeting Erica I immediately trusted her to care for my dogs as well as I could (if not better) when I wasn’t around. Not only has Erica made my life easier, more importantly my pups are obsessed with her and her daily walks! Erica is so trusting and thorough. I get daily pictures, videos, walked mapped routes AND updates on there progress from each walk that day. Erica has also done serveral training sessions with us and has been beyond helpful and patient, her knowledge for animal behavior is truly amazing. Between the sessions and daily ’mental’ walks I have seen unbelievable improvements in both my pups between noises that used to bother them, anxious anxiety triggers, and socialization skills. Erica has helped them improve their mental behaviors tremendously. Not only have my pups gained a friend but I like to think I did as well! trusting, kind, caring, knowledgeable, and patient I really couldn’t recommend Erica enough.

I originally chose Erica because of her excellent training experience and love of animals (she has many of her own!). Erica has been a fantastic dog walker for our yellow lab/hound mix. When we adopted Magnolia she was very energetic and untrained. Erica is amazing with her and incorporates training into every walk. She then lets us know what they worked on that day and we reinforce it at home. We are now doing training sessions as well to take Magnolia to the next level. Not to mention Erica is prompt, flexible, reliable, and always sends me pictures/videos from the walk which make my day!

Erica is one of the finest caregivers for dogs I have ever witnessed. She truly loves them, and they respect her for it. She can get the most misunderstood mutt wrapped around her finger in a very short amount of time. She fosters special needs dogs, and has much experience in working with packs. She is absolutely trustworthy in your home. I would highly recommend Erica. Louise C.
