Pet care experience

Lover of all animals, kind, honest

I have experience with dogs and cats of all ages as well as varying levels of health. I do not have experience with special needs dogs or with giving dogs injections but I do have experience with dogs who are fresh out of surgery and with giving dogs oral medication. I have experience giving cats a variety of medications in liquid and pill form. I am comfortable and experienced with potty training puppies and general obedience (commands) training with dogs of all ages, though I am not a certified trainer. I also have experience with different breeds of dogs which may require different foods or brushing needs. I have worked with blind and deaf dogs before as well. I am also able to pet sit other animals (i have experience with small mammal, reptile, fish, and birds).

Safety, trust & environment

I am not currently accepting stays at my house due to a high anxiety cat who can be easily stressed out by new animals and people

Erica is so helpful. My cats love her. This is my 2nd time using Erica and I will continue to trust her with my cats.

I was so impressed that Erica was able to win over my anti-social kitty! She was great about keeping me updated and sending some top notch photos, as well as reassuring me whenever I checked in. Would definitely book with her again. Thanks!

Erica took really good care of our two cats - she’s very thoughtful and kind and you can tell she’s very experienced with cats. Definitely recommend!

Great communication. Pups (and humans) were happy with Erica’s visits.

Boarding • Nov 10, 2017

I was extremely nervous about leaving my 13 y.o Yorkie, Isabel, in the care of a stranger. But Erica went above and beyond to make me feel reassured about Isabel's stay. She was constantly sending me pictures and updating me on their adventures. Erica also met with me a week prior to Isabel's stay, so Isabel and I could meet her and her dog Sassafrass. Erica is an excellent pet sitter who I would highly recommend to anyone looking for a warm and loving pet sitter.
