Hi there! My name is Erica and I live in the SE Portland Area. I am currently a full time 4th year student at a local nursing school and animal therapy is my way of de-stressing. I have dog and cat sat for about 10 years for friends, family and received referral clients that have been long term. With each client, I like to meet their pet prior to working with them, gain their trust and learn about the client and pet preferences in order to make the interaction a successful one. I usually walk each dog twice a day for at least 30 min, unless requested for more often. I spend time grooming and connecting with the pet and will usually send a text update to their owners daily. I have some clients with special needs pets that require daily medication administration, which I have no problem with. My schedule is flexible on most days. If you have more than one pet in the home, I usually try to work out a discounted rate.
