Full Time, Responsible, Trusting

Pet care experience

My belief is that dogs are just people with four legs! For me, that means that their needs are just as complex and real as ours. But above all, they need just one thing: tons of love! My favorite thing in the whole world is spoiling a pup with infinite cuddles and kisses so they know just how great they are. After all, the love that they bring into our lives should be given right back to them! That’s why I’m here: to make sure that every dog in the world has a smile on their face. I’ve been a lifelong dog owner and can’t wait to meet as many as I can! I currently have five dogs of my own, though they all live with my dad. I have plenty of experience with pups of all stripes, but am most familiar with dogs that are medium-to-large-sized. (But I don’t have any preferences in terms of the pups that I take in!) I also have experience administering medicine, bathing dogs, and being with elderly pups as well. No matter what, your pup will be in good hands. I am a full-time dog sitter, which means that your pup will be the beneficiary of my undivided attention. That means I’m a great fit for dogs that are used to having a friend around them during the day, or one who would benefit from a full-time companion! I love having dogs around the house, and my schedule means that we will be free to do as our heart desires. Walks, runs, and exploration are always on the menu! When a pup is in my care, communication with their owners is always a priority for me. I’m very punctual with my communication and will always be forthright in updating owners about how their pup is doing. I like to send updates every day with accompanying photos so you can see just how much fun your pup and I are having together! I’m always here for any questions or concerns, so never hesitate to reach out if any arises!

Erica was amazing with my 4 month old puppy! I was very nervous leaving him for a whole week. He can be quite a handful at times, but she was great with him. I really appreciated the pictures and updates she sent multiple times throughout the day. It put my mind at ease, and allowed me to enjoy my vacation without having to worry. She also took great care of the house. Highly recommend!

I am always watching the surroundings when we go out to play or on a walk. We will definitely have play time and follow the schedules or routines that are left for your furbabies.

Information Erica Q. would like to know about your pet

***I do charge per hour for Housesitting (daycare)services of just a few hours (ex: 2pm-6pm)*** ***I charge an extra per day fee on top of regular pricing for 24/7 care*** Some things I like to learn ahead of time: Would you like to schedule a meet-and-greet before the stay? What’s your preferred method of communication? Does your pup have any health issues that need to be tended to? For instance, dietary restrictions, medicine, or behavior triggers? Do you have a vet nearby that you trust? Is your dog spayed/neutered? Does your pup like to stick to a given schedule, like regular walks in the morning and evening? What does your pup do well around? What does your pup try to avoid? What’s the best way to spoil your pup?

A typical day

I like to lead an active life, so your pup will be right at home with me if they enjoy getting lots of exercise! We’ll have plenty of time for things like walks and runs, and I always love to explore around the neighborhood. Going to parks is also a definite part of the plan as well. It’s always so much fun to see a pup playing with their friends at a dog park, so I’m happy to head there as well (if they do well with other dogs). I’m happy to stick to their schedules and provide them with the stimulation they need to feel happy and right at home!

My schedule is pretty adaptable to the pups although I typically am away during the day for up to 5 hours. If you need around the clock care (without leaving during the day) then it would be a different price depending on what is needed. My day usually starts pretty early and ends relatively early in the night.
