Pet care experience

Hello! I am Erica and I cannot wait to spend some quality time with your Fur babies! I am available for both Dog Boarding along with House sitting depending on your pets needs. I am home FULL TIME and will be able to provide your dog with the care and attention they deserve. I am fully trained and skilled in recognizing and handling emergency situations when it comes to your pets. I want you to rest assured that your fur babies will be well taken care of while you are away. I would love to set up a meet and greet with you and your dog! Why I love dog sitting: I have always been a dog lover and have even made a career out of it, working at the animal hospital. Animals are very much a part of the family and should be treated as such. I currently have no pets in my home so your dog will have my full attention. I will treat your dog as if he/she was my own and make sure they are happy, comfortable, and loved. Throughout their stay, I will make sure to send you pictures and keep you updated on how your pet is doing. My experience administering medication I am fully trained in: * Giving your pet oral medications (pills or liquid) * applying medications in your dogs eyes and ears * applying topical medications, flush and cleaning wounds * Giving injections - SQ fluids, Insulin, ect. * Monitoring your pets at home after anesthesia or surgery * Doggie CPR * Recognizing, Understanding, and Handling Emergency situations (and last but not least) *Caring for your dog, giving him/her unconditional love while you are away! I have been trained to handle both medical and behavioral issues that may arise. While you are on your vacation, you and your family can rest assured your fur babies will be in great hands. They will receive the best care possible, along with tons of love and affection. I am looking forward to meeting you and your fur babies!

We are so lucky to have found Erica for our dog’s vacation. It was the first time our dog stayed overnight with somebody that wasn’t family, but we knew immediately that Erica was the perfect fit. She’s knowledgeable, caring and obviously loved our Eli. She also updated us throughout the week with tons of pictures. Thank you Erica!!!

The very best! Her knowledge really shows during pick up when she is able to offer gentle suggestions or notes regarding behavior. It’s very obvious she loves what she does and that’s the best feeling when leaving your fur babies for an extended period of time.

I loved that Erica met with us prior to boarding our sweet Koda. She sent pictures and updates every day. I can tell my puppy was in good hands the entire time and I’ll be booking with her again!

I don’t have enough superlatives to describe Erica! She is kind, thoughtful and dependable, but more importantly my dogs utterly adore her! They are excellent at judging character! ❤️❤️❤️

Information Erica M. would like to know about your pet

Are there any concerns I should be aware of? I'd like to suggest a meet and greet so you know where your pet will be staying. This will also give your dog a chance to get a little bit familiar with my home before his/her stay. At the meet and greet we will go over the details of the stay and get to know each other better. I find that the dogs have a much better time once they have had a chance to check out my home before they actually stay and of course, I am always open for questions you may have.

A typical day

Here's where we'll take our walks My home is located in Rancho San Diego Association, We have two private parks located within two (very short) blocks from my home. I would love to show your pup the way, where they may decide to play fetch or just bask in the sun. Your dog's sleeping arrangement Your dog is welcome to sleep wherever he feels most comfortable, whether that means curled up on the living room couch or snuggled in bed with me. Please feel free to bring his or her favorite pillow, blanket or dog bed from home. Time I'll spend with your dog There will always be someone home to lounge on the couch and play fetch with your sweet dog. Positive reinforcement!!!
