Information Erica P. would like to know about your pet

I am able to care for animals with special needs. I know how to administer medication via all routes in both cats and dogs. As long as you’re able to give me the times your pet needs it, it will not be an issue.

A typical day

There is a park walking distance from my house. I love to bring my dog there at least once a week. I give him one or two 30min walks a day. He is very active and loves to run and play fetch. Would love to add your dog to the fun !!

Pet care experience

To start, I'll say that I love animals both big and small. I have a dog named Boots and a cat named Peep. I have had them since they were babies so I have plenty of experience with kittens and puppies. I have previously worked at a veterinary hospital, a kennel, and currently work with dogs daily. I am very comfortable handling pets and treat them with respect. I have no problem giving medications and providing multiple walks. I live in a house with a fenced in yard for your pets to play! I am friendly, caring, and responsible. Hire me for your pet care services, you will not be disappointed.

Extremely patient, kind, and caring. I have two very high energy labs, she cared for them for two days (overnight) and handled it gracefully. They are both still in the velociraptor stage (if you know labs you know what stage I’m talking about), she’s the ultimate dog sitter, so grateful ❤️

It was so comforting to leave Roger with Erica for a week, she took a great care of our baby and cared for him just like her own. She was quite responsive and also sending us regular updates and pictures of Roger.

My dog is very attached to me, and I had to use someone other than a family member for the first time in five years, so I was pretty nervous. But Erica was super confident, took on the challenge, and did an amazing job. I couldn't have been more pleased with the drop-off and pick-up process, and she sent a ton of pictures along the way. We'll definitely use her again.
