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.

What a wonderful experience to have Erica care for my two pups. I was, for the first time in several years, finally in a position to take a small vacation, and Erica helped me make it happen. Both my dogs Rose and Bo took to her so quickly. And they seemed to be in great spirits on my arrival. Erica was always prompt with updates and was amenable to my pets needs as we navigated our first multi day drop in sittings. She was always keeping me updated with accurate reports through rover and wonderful pictures of my sweeties. Thank you so much!
