Highlights
Pet care experience
Cat & Dog First Aid & CPR Certified
Hi, I'm Erica! If there's one thing I know, it's that your pets are family; and they deserve to be treated that way. I bring real care and hands-on experience to every sit, and I treat every animal as if they were my own. My goal is simple: give you peace of mind and give your pets the attentive, personalized care they deserve while you're away.

Safety, trust & environment
When I'm caring for pets in your home, my approach is simple: stick to their routine, keep them comfortable, and make sure they feel at ease in their own space. I follow your feeding schedule, maintain their exercise and play habits, and give them plenty of attention throughout the day. Keeping pets in their familiar environment makes a real difference in reducing stress while you're away. Safety is always a priority, especially in extreme weather. When it's too hot or cold to spend much time outside, I keep things fun indoors; puzzle feeders, treat-dispensing toys, frozen treats, calming music, and pet-friendly videos are all go-to's. Cuddle time and quiet relaxation are just as important. Fresh water is always available, and I monitor closely for any signs of stress or overheating.
Ratings and reviews
Erica was great with our timid 4 month old puppy. She quickly made him feel comfortable during the meet and greet. She took notes about his schedule. She sent pictures and updates. Would recommend.
Erica was excellent! Was very communicative took great care of my cat.
Great with the dogs, prompt, and thorough! We appreciate Erica.
We’ve had Erica check on our kitties a few times now and know they are well taken care of when we are gone.
Great with all of our cats and dogs who all have very different personalities to negotiate! Very detail oriented to make sure the animals all get the individual care that they need. Timely and dependable for walks during the day and overnight house sitting. Great communication.
Thorough, thoughtful, and excellent with our pups!

Schedule
Pet care fits naturally into my life because of the flexible schedule I maintain around my other work. That flexibility means I'm available for drop-in visits, walks, and overnight stays without having to work around a rigid 9 to 5. I also have pets of my own at home, so caring for animals isn't something I switch on and off; it's simply part of my everyday routine.
