Highlights
Pet care experience
Hugs & Smooches for All Pooches!
I live for dogs! From babes to seniors, I have ample experience in giving all of the care needed to keep them happy and healthy and safe. I adopted my first pup Franklin, a boxer/pit mix, when he was 4 months old, and he lived to the ripe old age of 17.5yrs. I have since adopted 2 more loves — and am an integral part of an organization called Much Love Animal Rescue. I am extremely well-versed in the needs of both the young and the old, so rest assured your babe will be in the best of hands. Dogs feed my soul and I would be thrilled to give my love and care to yours.

Ratings and reviews
I am so happy I chose Erica to keep company to my little senior chihuahua. I am certain she made my fur baby feel very comfortable and loved! She provided detailed updates frequently, reassuring me that everything is all right. I would definitely recommend Erica and will be seeking her services soon so my little guy can have his "vacation" with her again.
It is so difficult to find someone you can trust to watch your furry kid, but I found one in Erica and feel so lucky to have done so. Erica is a bright and energetic soul that is, well, a "dog whisperer." She just is a natural with dogs, clearly. My dog is a handful and is high-maintenance, which is a big reason why it's been so challenging to find someone who will not only be able to handle her, but truly connect with her, become friends with her, and be a trusted part of the tribe. So grateful to have found Erica. She gives humans real peace of mind and dogs a wonderful, safe and loving place to be.
To no surprise, Erica and I met through our four-legged children during a neighborhood stroll and we were immediately connected through our love (obsession) of dogs!!! We've since known each other for years and I would highly recommend her sitting/walking services! She is super caring, responsible, positive, and energetic!
Erica is absolutely amazing! She recently walked my 2-year-old golden retriever, Gus, who is incredibly sweet but can be a real challenge to handle because of his strength. Erica handled him like a pro and made it look effortless. I was so impressed by her confidence and skill—she clearly knows how to work with bigger, stronger dogs. Gus absolutely loved her, and it was clear from the moment she met him that she has a special way with animals. Erica kept me updated throughout the walk and even shared some helpful tips for managing Gus’s pulling. It’s such a relief to find someone I trust to take care of my big guy. Erica is kind, reliable, and incredibly capable. I’ll definitely be booking her again!
I can’t recommend Erica enough! She recently took care of my 1-year-old dog, Charlie, and did an absolutely fantastic job. Charlie can be a handful at times with her boundless energy, but Erica was so patient, caring, and attentive. From the moment they met, I could tell Erica truly loves animals, and Charlie instantly warmed up to her. Erica kept me updated with photos and messages throughout their walks, which gave me so much peace of mind. She even went above and beyond by making sure Charlie got plenty of playtime and came home happy and tired (which is no easy feat!). If you’re looking for someone reliable, trustworthy, and great with dogs, Erica is the one to choose. I’m so glad I found her and will definitely be booking her again!

Schedule
I work from home full-time, and I have my own little babe named Fonzie (a playful pug mix who loves making friends!). Caring for your pup will fit naturally and easily into our daily routine, and they might even learn how to help me file 🤓
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
My spacious Marina Del Rey townhome (1900 sq ft) is in a quiet, dog-friendly gated community, and features a large and enclosed outdoor patio for playtime and sunbathing. My neighborhood is ideal and safe for all kinds of walkies; there’s even a lovely dog park around the corner (Glen Alla dog park). My home is filled with happiness, hugs, romping and toys galore! I promise your fur babe will love it here, and my boy Fonzie will be so excited to have a sleepover with a new friend.

A typical day
Oh the possibilities! When with me, your pup can go on walkie adventures around the Marina, down to the beach, or up into the hills. We enjoy frequenting the dog park to visit our friends- and make new ones. Playtime at home is mandatory, as well as snuggies and naps. If your dog(s) enjoys riding in the car and going places, we can do that too – I want to make sure they are as happy as possible.
