Vet Tech to help care for your pets

Pet care experience

I have been working as a Veterinary technician since 2012 and became Certified in 2018. I currently work at the local emergency hospital. I am happy to offer short term boarding at my home where we have a safe and warm place for guest pets to stay. I am comfortable keeping small pets over night as well. I would be happy to drop in and check on your pet, as well as, take long walks with them and give them some love and attention. I am flexible and attentive. I have years of experiences giving injectable and oral medications. I’m happy to help take care of all kinds of fur babies. I have experience with small animals like reptiles, hamsters, ferrets, and Guinean pigs so if they also need to be looked after I’m comfortable doing that as well.

Erica did amazing with all my fur babies. She kept me up to date with everything and sent me pictures everyday she watched. Will be recommending her to my friends who need pet sitters

Erica is very nice! Our dog Deuce seemed very well cared for while we were out of town for the weekend.

Jax had a wonderful time with Erica, who saved the day when we needed someone to pop in last-minute. She was on time, got him the exercise he needed, and most importantly he loved her. Would 100% request Erica again.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a large fenced in yard for your pup to run and play with my pup. When the play is done the pups can hang in the family area. If pups needs a break from the play we do have a large (giant breed, and a large) crate they can hang in or take a quiet break in the living area while our dog takes a quiet break in our bedroom. We do have children and cats.

Information Erica M. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your pet has any allergies or is in need of any daily medication. Is your pet good with kids? Good with other dogs? Good with cats? I will only accept dogs that are crate trained for sleeping at night to ensure their Safty while I’m asleep. Working in the emergency, I’ve have seen so many pets come in due to eating something they shouldn’t have while people are sleep. Safty is my number one priority!

A typical day

With our fenced in yard, your dog will have lot of opportunity to play outside. We have multiple tennis balls and toys to choose from. We do walks around the neighborhood to get that extra energy out.

I’m currently working mostly 10-12 hour days on Tuesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays at the emergency hospital and can provide drop in care those days, or evening walks. While pet sitting, dog is super dog friendly so your pup will have an instant friend.
