Comfy home adjacent to dog park!

Pet care experience

I will take care of your dog as if they are family. I know how it is to travel and worry about your furry loved ones, and that's why I'm doing this! Plus, I am a very active individual who absolutely LOVES dogs! I've grown up with them my whole life, and can't imagine a moment without one. They are part of my family. I love living in Colorado where I can enjoy all the things I love with my little fur-baby :-) including lots of running and hiking. My condo is next to miles of trails and dog parks which make it a perfect place to watch your loved one. There's even a restaurant with a dog yard next to it nearby! I've also been spoiling Arthur with some home-made dog treats, and would love to share those with your pup when they visit! It'll be a vacation for them as well :-). Why I love dog sitting I have loved dogs since I was a little girl! I grew up with labs my whole life. I would practice training them with my dad (who was a great teacher at the time). I remember first training our black lab, Shelby, to roll over. I was SO excited to show my parents! About my yard We do have a fenced yard. It is about 12ft x 12ft and landscaped with mulch to be used as a doggy potty. My yellow lab loves it. I use that mainly for bathroom breaks because I have twin lakes dog park less than a quarter mile away with great swimming holes and fun dirt trails to run on. I also have miles and miles of trails behind my condo available for walking trips.

Oliver LOVES going to stay with Erica, Matt & Arthur! They truly treat him as their own, and I know Oliver gets in lots of love, playtime, exercise & treats while I am away. Not to mention, I get tons of photos so I can see how great of a time Oliver is having! I couldn't ask for better people to take of my boy! :)

I have known Erica for 15 years and she has such a beautiful heart and spirit. Her love for animals, especially dogs, has always been so strong and evident. I've witnessed her interaction with them and her caring nature and compassion for them flows out so naturally. The dogs always respond to her loving personality and it is always a positive interaction all around. Anyone who has her as their dog sitter will not be disappointed and will be lucky to have her. She establishes that trust and bond right away with in all of her dog interactions so your dog will be in the BEST hands.

Information Erica P. would like to know about your pet

I don't have a breed preference at all! I would just like to know what the dog likes and dislikes. What kinds of dietary restrictions do they have? Do they like exercising, or staying inside and relaxing? What makes them happy? I also like to know a little about the owner as well. It's hard to leave your fur baby with someone else when you're gone, so would you like me to set up a skype date with them? Or send you pictures? I know myself, and I LOVE getting pictures of Arthur to know that he's a happy and healthy boy while I'm gone :-). I also require a copy of the dog's vaccinations beforehand in case of emergency.

A typical day

Here's where we'll take our walks I mentioned this a little earlier, but there are plenty of trails behind our house. One of which is a ten mile loop that we run often. It goes up towards Niwot and back. We are blessed with so many trails in Boulder. We also live across from the Boulder Reservoir which has a dog "off-leash" area available, as well as a 5.5 mile trail loop to walk or run around. Your dog's sleeping arrangement This is up to you. We let our dog sleep in our bed with us, your dog would be welcome to do the same if they are comfortable with that! Otherwise, we have a huge couch and plenty of floor space. Where would they prefer to sleep? What's normal for them? I'd like to keep them to their normal routine as much as possible. Time I'll spend with your dog Plenty! It's a treat for me to have your dog stay with us. On the weekends, my husband and I typically stay indoors and cook at home. We also go on hikes and runs, both of which your dog is welcome to join us for!
