I have a flexible schedule as a biologist at the VCU Massey Cancer Center, which allows me to accommodate morning, afternoon, and evening visits with ease. Whether it’s a sunrise walk, midday playtime, or a relaxing evening feeding routine, I can adjust my day to meet your pet’s needs. Caring for animals adds balance to my week and I genuinely look forward to it

Safety, trust & environment

Whether I’m caring for pets in my home or in yours, I focus on keeping them safe, happy, and stress-free by maintaining their usual routines and providing lots of attention. In your home, I follow all care instructions to the letter—feeding schedules, walks, meds and anything else your pet needs to feel comfortable while you're away. If caring for pets in my home, I create a calm, cozy environment with plenty of play, supervised outdoor time (if appropriate), and a comfy place to nap. I only take in pets I can give full attention to—no overcrowding or chaos here.

Hi! I grew up with cats, dogs, horses, and birds—so many birds. I live in the city now, but I've never lost my animal instincts

Erica was a huge help to us watching our dog and looking after our garden!! From all the photos my dog looked so happy and comfortable. Would definitely book again!

Erica was incredible as always! I really appreciate Erica, because when she is watching my dog, I do not have to worry about a single thing. She always treats her with love and follows all of her care instructions.

Erica is wonderful and took great care of my baby. My cat takes a while to warm up to people and he came downstairs on the first day!
