Pet care experience
I've had dogs my whole life and adore taking care of them and walking them. I had 2 very large dogs growing up (+100 lbs dogs), have walked large dogs recently such as Newfoundlands, and I also helped raise several puppies from birth in my house. I'm a runner and walk quite a lot so I'll be able to keep up with them and make sure they're well exercised, I will make sure they're fed when they're supposed to eat, aren't left alone in the house, go outside often, and have a fun time as well. My schedule is flexible and I can be available to watch after your dog almost any day of the week, I always update my calendar with my availability! I'll make sure to send you texts/email/picture updates with how your pet is doing and any other information you would like to receive =)
Reviews
Erica was great with my dog Bandit! She's mature and sweet and I appreciated that she was able to take him upon fairly short notice. She has a big, beautiful yard and lives on a nice quiet street...perfect for walks! Communication was good and Bandit was a happy pup there! I highly recommend her and would definitely use her again!
Erica was wonderful with our 2 dogs and they absolutely loved her! She sent us updates and pictures throughout the day which we really appreciated! I would highly recommend her, as she will treat your pets as they were her own!
Erica was a wonderful sitter for our older dog over the holidays. She checked in several times and sent photos - and really went out of her way to make him comfortable. She was a wonderful caregiver, and we would highly recommend her as a dog sitter!
Erica did an amazing job with my dogs! I had to leave for the weekend and Erica came to my house and stayed with my two dogs. She was incredible and provided constant feedback and updates. It made my trip so easy because Erica gave me peace of mind knowing my dogs were in such great care! My dogs can’t wait to see her again! Thank you Erica!

Information Erica M. would like to know about your pet
I don't have any breed preferences, but I would like to know: 1.) The energy level of your dog (if he/she is strong on a leash, enjoys playing or prefers to just relax in the house) 2.) How your dog does with other dogs and if an encounter with another dog while walking will be a problem 3.) If you let your dog(s) on the couch or if that's a behavior to be avoided 4.) Any other special concern or information that may be helpful =)
A typical day
We'll go on walks around the neighborhood, in mostly grassy areas. I'll make sure that your dog has a fun time as well, so if there are toys in the house we'll run around and play catch/fetch after the walk. If your dog doesn't like catch/fetch, is more relaxed or elderly, I'll make sure to spend laid back loving time with him/her =) making sure not to overexert your dog's energy if that's a concern.
