Information Erica L. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your pet has any medications, special diet, quirks, etc that I need to know about. If there are certain routines and/or commands that you’d like me to follow, I would be happy to do so!

A typical day

I know pets LOVE and thrive on their routines! I am down to clown for any and all types of walks, leashes/harnesses, weird past-times (one of my repeat canine clients loves to play with a rake), toys, interactive puzzles, pet treadmills, tv shows, and crate time (for those who get overstimulated.. don’t we all though?).

Flexible Schedule, Cats & Dogs!

Pet care experience

I’ve had pets my whole life. Dogs, cats, hamsters, guinea pigs, turtles, fish, etc! I currently have two cats — Bodhi and Mani — who I love more than words. (Don’t worry, they have an automatic pet feeder, water fountain, and interactive camera that I can talk to them through when I’m on house sitting stays!) I have experience with senior cats and how to administer medication to them to balance thyroid levels, manage diabetes, chemo, etc. I had a 16-year-old cat recently pass from Stage 4 Chronic Kidney Disorder, so I know how important hydration is for our feline friends. Especially of the male variety. **I respectfully ask that you do not ask me to accept payment off the app during our first Meet & Greet. I provide M&Gs free-of-cost to new clients. It sucks (and is a waste of time/money) when a potential client decides not go with me because I won’t “just take Venmo”. It’s important for me to establish a relationship with a family first through the app, for my own safety and guarantee of payment. Plus, Rover provides insurance for both parties using the fees they incur. Please keep this in mind if insurance is an issue for you. Thanks!! :)**

Did well with Charlie. Slow communication through Rover caused some miscommunication.

Erica is top tier! Took excellent care of our beloved pooch and our home. Being so far away can be stressful- but Erica kept in close contact and we knew our pup was in expert hands. Very grateful for her!

Erica did a wonderful job taking care of my furry family members while I was away! She had great communication and sent pictures, so I was able to see just how comfortable they all were in her care!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass an identity verification. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
