Availability
As a full-time stay-at-home mom, I am home the majority of the day, allowing me to provide a high level of attention and supervision for your pet. Unlike sitters with traditional 9-to-5 jobs, my flexible schedule means more playtime, more potty breaks, and consistent companionship for your furry family member.

Safety, trust & environment
Pet-proofed my home securing trash bins, cover sharp corners, keep toilet lids down, and removing or locking away any toxic or dangerous items. I use baby gates and childproof locks to block off certain areas. I set up a comfortable, low-traffic area with an orthopedic bed and futon couch or if your pet needs to be kenneled or crated at night that can be offered as well. I ensure to use toys and chews that are appropriate for the pet's size and species. I do not have a fenced in yard but I will make sure your pet is using their collar/harness and leash when outside at all times.

Information Erica M. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if your pet has any special needs or special diets. Specific potty times or any specific instructions you would like me to follow.
A typical day
I will provide indoor/outdoor and mental stimulation for your pet. Play hide-and-seek: hide treats around the house for them to sniff out. Use puzzle toys or Kongs: Providing your pet with puzzle feeders or treat-dispensing balls to keep them mentally engaged. Chirping bird toys or laser lights for kitties. There is also bird feeder boxes in the windows for them to bird watch while sitting on a cat tree. Work on basic commands or teach new tricks for praise and treats for pets who love to engage in learning. Play tug-of-war: A fun and interactive way to burn energy. Relaxing activities: Go for a scenic drive: Take a drive for a pup cup or to visit a dog-friendly store or restaurant and maybe chill on an outdoor patio. Enjoy quiet time: Let them relax on the couch while we watch TV, pets can lounge on comfy beds or we can sit outside and enjoy the sun or play in the snow. You let me know what type of activities they enjoy.
