Care Like They’re My Own
Pet care experience
I’ve had dogs for 16 years and currently care for a cat I’ve had for eight. I know how important pets are to a family and understand the challenges of juggling life while making sure they’re loved, safe, and well cared for. I’m patient, attentive, and happy to support pets with special needs, including seniors.

Reviews

Erica is thorough with her notes and provides such good care for our old pup. The pictures are helpful to see how Cash is doing while we’re away. She also did drop by for a meet up before accepting to pet sit, to make sure we were aligned on Cash’s needs and behaviors which oa extremely professional and appreciated. We highly recommend Erica!
I wholeheartedly recommend Erica as a pet sitter. She is one of the most caring and responsible people I know, and her love for animals truly shines through in everything she does. She has both a dog named Bella and a cat named Fancy, and she treats them like true members of the family — always attentive, loving, and patient. She understands that every pet has their own personality and needs, and she takes the time to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. Whether it’s keeping pets on a routine, going for walks, playing, or just being there for company and cuddles, Erica always goes the extra mile. She used to care for my cat, Otto, and he absolutely loves her — which says a lot, because he’s usually pretty picky about people! If you’re looking for someone who will care for your pets like they’re her own, you can trust Erica completely. Bella and Fancy are lucky to have her — and your pets will be too!
