Your Pet’s New Favorite Human
Hi there! I’m Erica — a lifelong animal lover who has shared her life with all kinds of pets. Today, I’m lucky enough to have one rescue dog and two rescue cats, and they are truly my babies. I don’t consider them pets; they’re my children. They follow me from the moment I wake up to the moment I go to bed, and they bring so much joy and personality into my life. Before adopting my own crew, I fostered dogs for a rescue group, which gave me experience with pups of all backgrounds, personalities, and needs. That time taught me patience, compassion, and how to help animals feel safe, understood, and deeply cared for. When you trust me with your fur children, my number one priority is giving you security and peace of mind while you’re away. I want you to know they’ll be cared for with the same love, attention, and respect you give them every day. Whether it’s walks, playtime, cuddles, feeding routines, or special instructions, I’m here to make sure they feel comfortable, happy, and cherished. We would love to welcome your fur babies into our extended family and treat them as if they were our own. We truly love to love on four‑legged fur babies.

Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Erica did a great job with my two pups! One of them is very shy but when she came to meet them he brought his favorite ball over and they got along right away. We even had a little accident on one of her visits and she cleaned it up right away. They seemed so happy when we came home later. From the pictures she shared I can tell they had a great time! I will definitely use her when we need another visit.
Erica has 2 cats, which she cares about very much. She is trustworthy. She is a kind and compassionate person. Erica would treat your dog as if it were her own. I would definitely trust her with my dog.
Erica is a caring and loving person to all creatures. Rather if you have a wagging tail or not. She is very responsible and uses great care in providing a loving and safe environment. If you choose to allow her to provide pet sitting for your company you will find someone eager to provide the same care as if they were her own pets.

Schedule
Caring for animals is already a natural part of my everyday life. My own rescue dog and two rescue cats are deeply woven into my daily routine — from morning feedings and playtime to evening snuggles and winding down together. Because I’m so used to giving consistent love, attention, and structure to my own pets, adding care for your pet fits seamlessly into my schedule. I’m home regularly throughout the day, which allows me to provide reliable check‑ins, feeding, litter box care, enrichment, and companionship. Whether your pet needs quiet company, interactive play, or a little extra reassurance while you’re away, I’m able to incorporate their needs smoothly into my weekly rhythm.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
In my own home, caring for animals is part of my everyday rhythm. My rescue dog and two rescue cats are truly my babies, so I’m constantly tuned in to their needs — feeding routines, fresh water, clean litter, playtime, enrichment, and plenty of affection. Because pet care is already woven into my daily life, extending that same level of attention to your pet feels completely natural. When I’m caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as familiar and comforting as possible. I follow your instructions closely, whether that includes feeding schedules, litter box care, medications, playtime, or quiet companionship. I’m patient with shy or sensitive pets and always move at their pace, making sure they feel safe and understood. I also provide updates and photos so you can relax knowing your pet is happy and well cared for. My goal is always the same — to treat your pet with the same love, respect, and gentleness I give my own.
A typical day
I love making sure every pet gets the kind of interaction that feels fun and natural for their personality. For playful pets, that might mean interactive toys, games, enrichment activities, or anything that helps them burn energy and stay mentally stimulated. For more relaxed or shy pets, I offer gentle companionship — soft talking, slow‑paced engagement, cozy snuggles, or simply being nearby so they feel safe and understood. I also enjoy creating enrichment that matches each pet’s preferences, whether that’s treat‑hunting games, puzzle toys, brushing sessions, window watching, or calm bonding time. My goal is always to help your pet feel happy, comfortable, and loved while you’re away.

- I always want to make sure your pet feels safe, comfortable, and understood, so knowing a few key things ahead of time helps me give them the best care possible. I love learning about: - Their personality — Are they shy, social, playful, independent, or a mix - Daily routines — Feeding times, litter or potty habits, favorite spots, and any comforting rituals - Medical needs — Medications, allergies, sensitivities, or anything I should watch for - Behavioral quirks — Hiding spots, triggers, fears, or things that help them feel secure - Preferred interaction style — Do they love playtime, brushing, cuddles, or do they prefer gentle, quiet company - Household rules — Areas they’re allowed or not allowed, treat limits, or special instructions The more I know about what makes your pet feel happy and safe, the better I can care for them just the way you do.
