Pet care experience
Hi! My name is Erica and I am a New Hampshire native that now calls St Pete home! I am an avid animal and nature lover. I have grown up around dogs all of my life, and now I have a few of my own! I have two beagle mixes, Maple is 6 years old and Benny is 3 years old. Both are rescues with their own quirks and personalities. I currently have a foster dog named Moo as well, who has been in our home for almost a year now. Moo had a rough start at life and is working through many behavioral issues that stemmed from neglect in his previous home. I have pet sat and dog walked for many families periodically over the last 7 years. My main experience is with dogs, cats, and small mammals. My services include drop in visits and dog walking. Looking forward to booking with you! :)
Reviews
Erica is great with Wrinkles! She is punctual, friendly and reliable. Thank you!
Erica was great with my boys! She accepted my last minute booking and gave me peace of mind. One of my dogs needs meds and she had no problem giving them. Thank you!!
Erica is great with dogs! She always puts her own dog first before her own needs. She's caring, patient, responsible and treats dogs like they are human...even better. She has taken care of her roomates & friends dogs (mine too) and never turns down an opportunity to help. When there is an animal in danger or lost, she's the first one to step up to lead the rescue efforts. I have been on a few dog and other animal rescue missions with Erica and they all have had happy endings, reuniting the pets with their owners. She's an animal lover...especially a softie for dogs!
Erica is the most responsible dog owner I know. She cares for her own puppy unbelievable well while holding down a part time job and being a full time student. Responsibility is no worry with Erica, she is very careful when it comes to dogs and animals as a whole for that matter.
About Erica B.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
My fur babies come first always- and yours will as well when you’ve entrusted them with me. From years of owning dogs and the last year of working with a very difficult foster pup, I am very confident in my ability to understand an animal’s wants and needs, and to make them feel safe and comfortable in my presence.
Information Erica B. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if you pet has any special needs or accommodations. This could be anything from medication that needs to be administered, to a special toy they love to play fetch with. I strive to be as prepared as possible for my walks/ drop ins!
A typical day
Whether it is a walk or drop in visit, I make sure your pet is stimulated the whole time- from an enthusiastic hello to kisses goodbye. I will also make sure to fill water bowls and feed your pet / give treats upon request. For example, I used to walk a Frenchie named Wrinkles who loved to have his Kong filled with peanut butter after a walk- and you bet I did that for him everytime!

Availability
I work a typical 9-5 job on the week days, so I am mainly only available for weekend visits. However, please inquire because an exception could be made depending on your location.
