Pet care experience

I have a lot of experience with dogs as both an owner and as a foster home/parent. I recently had a foster dog that was used as a breeding Mom dog for 4 years and was terrified when we got her. I have pet sat at my home for family, friends, and neighbor's dogs. I would go multiple times a week to my neighbor's house to take her dogs out and play with them while Mom & Dad were working late. I have also volunteered with humane societies over the years, even flew down to FL to volunteer with a rescue after a hurricane. I have experience transporting foster dogs to their new homes with a rescue group out of Missouri where we adopted our foster fail from.

We highly recommend Erica. Erica is a huge lover and advocate for all furry friends. Our dog, Havana, is so blessed to have Erica in her life. Havana can be a bit skittish but Erica manages to make her feel safe and comfortable at all times. She truly is great with our pup and we trust her implicitly.

Erica has been so patient and accommodating to me and my sweet pup. Penny takes time to warm up to people and Erica went above and beyond to make her feel comfortable (bringing her treats, playing from a distance prior to walk, etc.) I definitely recommend her! Penny is beyond excited when she sees Erica now !

Erica is great with dogs, she loves to be around them. We have fostered dogs over the years and she is patient with them. She walks every day with our dog and safety is always top priority. She has dog sat for friends and for neighbors dogs and the dogs always love Erica.

Erica is one of the most caring and compassionate animal lovers I’ve ever met. She’s been both a dog and cat sitter, a foster mom, and a dog walker — and in every role, she goes above and beyond for the animals in her care. You can tell right away how much she truly loves what she does. She’s patient, gentle, and always puts the animals’ needs first. Erica would do anything to make sure an animal is happy, safe, and loved. I completely trust her with my pets and would recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable, kind, and devoted caregiver!
