Pet care experience
I have worked with dogs and cats for 15 years with a mixture of professional (pet resort, vet, and foster volunteer for rescue organizations) as well as personal (pet owner). I promote safety and the well-being of pets first and foremost and can accommodate any of your loved ones' needs. I am trained as a vet tech and newly RN graduate, almost any medical condition I feel confident I can address and provide care for. I am a firm believer that you can tell a lot about a person by the way they treat animals and i have always treated mine as not just a pet, but a family member. About this sitter: I wanted to add this service for those parents concerned with the anxiety that comes along with being left. I firmly believe that sticking to your pet's routine and environment helps decrease any unneeded stress. I am well trained in animal behavior (I have worked at a veterinary clinic/hospital for 3+ years) and medical aid should anything arise or your pet has medical needs. Any questions? Please ask! If my availability does not work for you, please let me know and we might be able to make things work depending on the details.
Reviews
She was wonderful! She did not just do the basics. Kept me up to date with pics/videos! Stayed played and cuddled with my pup! Highly recommend.

Safety, trust & environment
I have a rhodesian ridgeback of mine own who is very comfortable around any dog breed or age as she has been to dog parks and around other dogs all her life. She is 10 yo and very mellow but also gets spurts of energy where she will engage in play. I think her mellow demenor allows other pets to feel comfortable. I have two enclosed dog play areas outdoors as well. In a client's home, I can set up a pet camera that a client can access (this will need to be done prior to the client leaving and will be taken once the care is over) and will honor your schedule and instructions. In addition, I will send you all the pictures or videos that you would like!

Information Erica R. would like to know about your pet
I feel confident in being able to provide care for any pet, I just need complete honesty and transparency upfront. This allows for mutual respect and safety for all pets and humans involved.
A typical day
I have dog sensory toys that will engage and enrich your dog's day as well as keep them busy. I enjoy checking dogs' "go find it" with treats (like a doggy scavenger hunt). I am able to transport your pet safely to parks and trails or take them for a leisurely stroll in the neighborhood.
