Pet care experience

Clean home, lots of snuggles!

I currently have an energetic Boston Boxer who requires lots of exercise! had a cocker spaniel for almost 15 years. I cared for him for the last 6 months of his life when he had cancer. I’m patient, like to give snuggles, and keep a clean home. I live alone and work from home, lots of time to walk and care for your dog. There’s a trail behind my condo for walks and a dog park nearby. I’m very active with running and walking and hiking if that’s what you want for your pet!

Erica is the absolute best person to care for your animal. She have helped our family with multiple pets and always respected our home. Her consistency and quick communication helps put me at ease when I travel. We will definitely continue to use her to help our fur babies. Highly recommend using her!

Erica is wonderful! Bear always comes home happy and well-loved. Erica makes sure to send pictures every day too, which makes us so happy to stay in the loop with how our pup is doing. She communicates well, quickly, and is super flexible with any changes too. Highly recommend Erica!

Erica was fantastic with my mom’s older dog. She was patient with Tommy and got to know him. She communicated often with pictures and texts! We can’t recommend her enough!

Our dog had a great stay with Erica and Roxie. Dyno took a little time to adjust to his new environment, but they were patient with him until he felt comfortable. We could tell when he picked him up that he was happy, well taken care of, and had fun with his new friends. We hope to use Erica again in the future. Thank you!

Safety, trust & environment

My home is well-kept and clean. I live alone with Roxie and have a trail outside my condo for long walks. There’s a dog park nearby and I love to run and hike! I do not have a fenced-in yard! Note: I absolutely 100% cannot take dogs with separation anxiety, nuisance barking, or who bark when left alone. I live in a condo and it’s distracting for my neighbors if a dog barks incessantly. If your dog barks incessantly at my house, I will ask you to find a new sitter. Also, you must do a meet and greet with my dog to ensure they get along with each other. Bonus if your dog is crate trained.

Pets

A typical day

Feeding schedule Sleeping environment Do they like other dogs? Are they okay with stairs? How are they if left alone? Do they chew on things? How often do they need to be walked? Note: I 100% cannot take dogs with any kind of separation anxiety, nuisance barking, or who bark when left alone. I live in a condo and it is distracting for my neighbors to have incessant barking. If your dog barks incessantly when I leave, I will contact you and ask to find a new sitter.
