Pet care experience
For as long as I can remember, I have adored any and all animals and felt that I had a knack for connecting with them. Growing up, I worked at a pet resort where my team would be responsible for up to 30+ dogs and 30+ cats at a time. My responsibilities there included feeding, walking, playing, administering medication and anything else that would ensure that the animals in our care were happy and healthy during their stay with us. Today, I am as active as possible with my dog Lilah, a 40 lb. ball of love and snuggles that I rescued from the Animal Rescue League. When I started dating my boyfriend, I really lucked out by getting to welcome his dog Tessie, a Boxer/Mastiff mix into my life. We love to go off-leash hiking, take long walks around the neighborhood, and play fetch. My love of animals has recently inspired me to foster dogs while they wait for their forever homes, and it has also inspired me to supplement my income loving on other people's pets while they are either working, out of town, or just simply needing a hand. I live in a clean, safe home in a nice, safe neighborhood. Our home is on a lightly trafficked cul-de-sac. I can't wait to host your pet or check in on them and give them lots of love and exercise during home visits. I'll be sure to send lots of picture updates!
Reviews
Erica was very nice and very helpful. She came over to meet Lucy Lou the day before they were to walk and they hit it off right away! She was punctual, fed her, walked her, and played with her. She seemed to handle Lucy Lou quite well considering that Lucy Lou is a 12 week old lab and is going through a biting/mouthing stage. Erica made herself available for talk and text on her own time and provided ideas and suggestions to assist in training Lucy Lou. We definitely intend to use Erica again.
Erica was absolutely great with Lou! She took the time to get familiar with him before starting. I truly wish I could use her more but she really came through in a pinch. I highly recommend her!
Erica has been a dog lover all of her life. I have never met a dog that doesn't immediately fall in love with Erica and vice versa. She enjoys playing with dogs and taking them on walks. I would not hesitate to let Erica take care of our Sadie for any length of time. She is a natural with all animals.

Information Erica M. would like to know about your pet
Before working with you and your animals, I would like to know any problems with aggression that they may have. Are they protective of you or your home? Their food and toys? Are they aggressive towards cats or other dogs? Are there any allergies that I should be aware of? Any injuries? Will your animal need daily medication? Knowing all of these things beforehand will help me prepare for both my own safety and the safety of your pet.
A typical day
I would love to take your dog for an hour long or even a two hour long hike. I know of a couple of great trails that are fido friendly. Don't worry, I'll always be sure to bring your dog back nice and clean. I can also jog with your dog to ensure that they are good and tired when you come home to them.
