Will love your pet like my own ❤️
Pet care experience
Certified Professional Dog Trainer (CPDT-KA) with a passion for working with animals. With over 6 years of training and a lifetime of handling and loving animals under my belt, I can assure you that your pups are in the best hands when they’re with me. Having studied animal behavior, specifically dog body language, my knowledge allows me to better understand your dog within minutes of meeting them. Comfortability, healthiness and happiness are the most important things to me when working with an animal. And I can assure you that those three things will be prioritized while under my watchful eye.
Reviews
Erica was amazing! Our cats loved her and she provided timely updates that gave us peace of mind during our time away. She was trustworthy and very respectful and we wouldn’t hesitate to hire her again or recommend her to others.
Erica was a super awesome pet sitter for my cat Nigel! He loved Erica and it was super helpful to have someone so dependable be able to look after my cat while I was gone. She was super awesome with communication and took awesome care of my cat.

Safety, trust & environment
With a large backyard and two fences to ensure safety, my home is the perfect place to play and run around. Located near two beautiful parks, walking is an easy option and a playmate is guaranteed (if your pup is interested) in my dog Chuy, a 2 year old chocolate lab.
Information Erica M. would like to know about your pet
Learning if a dog has any allergies or triggers that might set them off on walks. It’s always important to be conscious of things that make dogs uncomfortable so I can keep them under threshold when triggers are present. I’d love to know if your dog is friendly and playful with other dogs selfishly because my dog loves making friends! I also like to know what drives and motivates your dog. Is it food, play, or even praise?
A typical day
Depending on the dog, fetch, swimming, kicking a soccer ball and having fun with training! There are so many wonderful places to take dogs in the Bay Area and if your dog is comfortable exploring I’d love to expose them to all the Bay Area puppy wonders!
