Pet care experience
Walks and Wagging Tails Guaranteed
Who you trust with your pet matters. They deserve someone more experienced than a teenager or a hobby sitter. As a dog mom and dog foster mom for over 10 years, I’m a dedicated and experienced dog caregiver, who specializes in understanding breeds and their specific needs. I own a high energy, working dog, so understanding that his needs are vastly different is important to his care, so my approach to caregiving is what I would want for my own dog. I do my best to learn your dogs behavior, their needs and provide care specific to them. Working with fosters, I have cared for many of your ‘aggressive’ breeds. As such, I am confident and comfortable with bigger, more powerful breeds. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs in a variety of settings from daily walks and drop-ins to overnight boarding and extended stays, always treating them as if they were my own. I have hands-on experience with energetic puppies, senior dogs, rescues, and pups who may need a little extra patience or reassurance. I understand that every dog is unique, so I focus on providing personalized care that fits their routine, temperament, and comfort level. Whether that means structured walks, playtime, cuddle breaks, medication support, or simply calm companionship, your dog’s well-being always comes first. Safety, communication, and reliability are extremely important to me. I provide regular updates, photos, and check-ins so you can feel confident and at ease while you’re away. My goal is not just to watch your dog, but to make sure they feel secure, loved, and happy every step of the way. If you’re looking for someone who will care for your dog with patience, responsibility, and genuine affection, I’d love to be part of your pup’s routine.

Always amazing with Erica! I’m super grateful. We’ll be back as long as she has us. ☺️
Erica went above and beyond! Accepted my super last minute booking request for my dog who was sick. My dog had a poo accident through the house and Erica even cleaned it up for us. Absolutely did not expect her to clean up. So very appreciated!!
We will definitely be booking Erica again!
Erica was fantastic! She was attentive and responsive and took very good care of my babies while I was traveling. She also takes the most amazing pictures! I’m grateful for her.

Schedule
Pet care fits seamlessly into my daily and weekly routine. Because I work from home, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to be present, attentive, and responsive throughout the day rather than fitting care into limited time windows. This means dogs in my care are never left alone for long periods and can stick closely to their normal routines. I’m able to accommodate consistent walk times, potty breaks, feedings, playtime, and rest throughout the day, as well as provide extra attention for puppies, senior dogs, or pets who may need more frequent check-ins. My flexibility also allows me to adapt quickly if a dog needs additional exercise, comfort, or one-on-one time. This setup gives pet parents peace of mind knowing their dog is supervised, cared for, and truly integrated into my day, not treated as a side task. Your pet gets reliable, attentive care with plenty of interaction, structure, and affection.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
In my home, I do have one dog of my own which can be kept separate from your fur baby if needed or requested. I have a fenced in yard which is secure and stable. If I am visiting your house or property, I am mindful and cautious with any instructions you have left.
Pets
A typical day
A typical boarding day is calm, structured, and centered around your dog’s comfort. Dogs start the day with a morning potty break, feeding, and a walk or playtime based on their energy level. Throughout the day, I balance activity with plenty of rest, enrichment, and one-on-one attention. I do have my own dog, but I’m very intentional about introductions and routines. Your dog can be kept completely separate if preferred or needed. Each boarded dog has their own room and designated space away from my dog, giving them the option to decompress, relax, and feel secure at their own pace. Supervised interaction only happens when it’s appropriate and agreed upon. The day includes regular potty breaks, walks, meals, playtime, and quiet downtime, with flexibility to match your dog’s normal routine. Evenings wind down with a final walk, dinner, and a calm, cozy space to rest. My goal is to make boarding feel safe, predictable, and as close to home as possible
