Making your pets feel like family!

Pet care experience

Hey everyone, I’m Erica! I have been taking care of pets since I was 10 years old. My mom runs her own pet sitting business and I have always been there with her assisting with all the different pets. With my several years of pet sitting experience, I always bring a blend of compassion, reliability and expertise to every sitting opportunity. My commitment to making sure your furry friend is safe, happy and loved is unmatched. I strive to make sure every pet gets personal care tailored to their needs. I ALWAYS make sure to create a happy, safe and comfortable environment for both the pets and the owner. I also have extensive experience in administering medications to both dogs and cats, ranging from a simple little pill to an injection. I am well equipped to handle any medical need with precision and care. My proficiency in this specific area definitely sets me apart, offering the pet owners peace of mind knowing their furry companions are in safe hands. I have a very active lifestyle and I love to go for long walks and hikes with my dogs. If that is something your pet is into, then I would love for them to join me :) I also promise to give your pet belly rubs and lay on the couch all day with them if that is what they prefer❤️ I have experience boarding numerous different breeds of dogs, as well as different dogs in different age groups. I love to make sure dogs are stimulated both mentally and physically. I definitely don’t want them to be bored and unhappy. I have 2 high energy dogs myself, a 1 year old male german shepherd/husky and a 6 month year old female german shepherd/lab. They are both VERY friendly with both other people and other dogs. I frequently take them to the dog park, as well as let them play with my neighbors dogs and they always all have a blast :) They are both the sweetest souls and would love to have other dogs around. If the rates provided are not in your price range, please feel free to reach out and we can discuss :)

Erica was just the person I needed to calm my nerves while being away on a work trip. I get super nervous when I have to leave my dogs and Erica made me feel comfortable and made sure I felt that my boy’s were being cared for. She even put up with me texting every hour asking how they were 🤪🤪 Absoutely amazing 🤍🤍 Thank you so much Erica 😁😁

Safety, trust & environment

I live in a one bedroom quad-plex with a large backyard. This part is not gated off, although it is in the back of the house and down the drive way from the road. There is a separate portion of the backyard that is fully gated off for pets specifically. I am more than happy to board dogs in my home overnight or at your place. I have cages, beds, leashes and toys for your pet. Pet parents are also more than welcome to bring their own materials. For overnight stays, I would be more than happy to discuss any needs of the household and go over the expectations for my time in your space.

Information Erica P. would like to know about your pet

A typical day

I love to make sure dogs are stimulated both mentally and physically. I definitely don’t want them to be bored and unhappy. I would be more than happy to take your pet on a hike, a run, play fetch or even just cuddle and watch movies all day depending on their lifestyle.
