cat mom & lover of all animals 🐶🐱

Pet care experience

Hey there! My name is Erica and I am an easy-going, friendly Preschool Teacher. I work a typical 8:30-3:30pm school day during the week and in my free time am looking to continue providing care by way of animals! I adore and hold the utmost respect for all animals. I’m a proud owner of two cats that I raised from kittens, so I am very familiar with all the sensitive time and effort that goes into kitty care. I also of course adore dogs and am always looking for opportunities to play, pet, and just hang around dogs. I will sit and enjoy your furry family members company for hours (if you let me!). They truly boost my mood and humble me to the fullest. I would never in a million years even consider harming an animal (I don't even kill bugs, I'm serious). I am a super strong and passionate supporter of animal rights and every Saturday morning I volunteer at a farm animal sanctuary across the bay. As for me as an employee, I am devoted teacher of little ones, so I am very familiar with working for parents and dealing with all the possible messes that children (pet children included) bring! I am organized, attentive, a great listener, and always value doing my job to the highest quality possible. I am not afraid to ask questions for clarity to make sure that I am on the same page as my employer. I have booked care on Rover in the past, so I completely understand the open communication and trust it involves on the owners parts. You will always receive updates and pictures from me to confirm that your baby/ babies are in great and happy care!

Erica is awesome! She took care of our little guy while we were out of town for the weekend. 🐈‍⬛ She spoiled him with treats and pampered him with his favorite purple hair brush. Not only did she leave us with great updates everyday, she was very respectful of our space/apartment. I would definitely recommend Erica to anyone!

Erica was amazing with my senior basset hound. She was professional, courteous, and very patient with a slower older dog. Thank you, Erica !! Highly recommended !!!

Erica is the most wonderful aunt my sweet doggie, Ziggy, could ask for. She is my go to sitter when I am away and he has an absolute blast with her. She is responsible with his needs, takes him on awesome adventures, and of course gives him tons of love! Ziggy is thrilled to spend time with her and I feel 100% confident he will be taken care when I leave him with her. Thank you Erica!

Safety, trust & environment

I will gladly follow any and all rules and preferences you have for your fur baby. As a cat mom myself, I understand and value the trust it takes to have someone else watching over them. I am also a very respectful and clean house guest!

Information Erica R. would like to know about your pet

I would love to know anything and everything about your animal before I sit them. Do they have any special quirks? Things they scare easily with? A comfortable routine they are used to? Diet preferences/ issues? And of course, if there is anything you want me to keep an extra close eye on while you're away, I am happy to carry that out.

A typical day

I would love to take your dog on dog-friendly walking trails all around San Francisco. Any excuse to get me outside enjoying the day rain or shine! I love walking around the city and have a lot of energy, so even if you have a energetic pup, I promise they will be ready for a nap once home. I can also take your dog to any dog parks/ beaches. Happy to take them to their favorite spot, a local one you feel comfortable with, or a new one to try out! I have a car that is available for farther adventures.
