Pet care experience
I grew up with cats, dogs, ferrets, hamsters, birds... and while my elderly blind dog just passed, and have sat for animals with varying disabilities & energy levels, so I understand the importance of love, special care, and attention when leaving your creature in the hands of someone else. I am acutely aware of and touched by the anxiety our pets are experiencing after being with us 24/7 during quarantine, and I want to be the closest thing to a parent while you're gone! I quit my job in publishing to become an animal caretaker full-time, and was suddenly offered a job running a motel for a friend! So now I live on the motel property, but because of our contactless check-in system, I'm free to continue to surround myself with the fur babies that bring me so much joy! I'm available for them and they have my full attention 95% of any given day or time :) we have a huuuuuge dog run but since I live where I work, I make sure to get out on the trails with the puppers daily... It's good for all of our sanity! I have a thorough questionnaire so that nothing is missed due to improper communication. I learn through both you and your pet how I can offer the best care and most fun while mom or dad are away. I am loving but also firm, I love to wrestle and play tug as much as I love to snuggle. I bring the best of all worlds!
Reviews
Erica was great. She took really good care of our dog, Daisy. Daisy is shy but she clearly warmed up to Erica.
Erica was great! Good communication and flexibility. My dog had some issues during his visit and Erica was great taking care of him. Highly recommend!
After the first day, my dog was excited to see Erica every time I dropped him off for daycare. So definitely a good sign!
Erica was fantastic to Bailey. Lots of walks and pictures for us when we were gone. She was also super accommodating when we experienced some travel delays. Thanks so much!

I have a sliding door which leads to a small fenced in yard, the dogs are free to come in and out as they please. In a client's home, I am in time with their energy levels and whether they'd like to be out and about or just hanging out where they feel safe.
Home
Information Erica L. would like to know about your pet
If there are any special needs (pain, bodily issues, disabilities, etc) I want to be aware so I can lend special attention to that. Also if your dog loves or hates other dogs, I can cater our activities to those preferences.
A typical day
Depending on what you and your pet are comfortable with, I'm happy to take them on a trail walk, to the park, for a car ride, just play with them in your outdoor space, or just sit with them on the couch and cuddle up. My dog personally likes a mixture of all of the above, so I read their energy and give them what they need!

Availability
Due to the contactless nature of the Inn that I run, I literally spend all of my time with the animals I watch :) I am only needed for my on-site job if somebody needs more coffee pods or towels!
