I work from home four days a week, which gives me a flexible schedule to care for your pet. I’m more than happy to collaborate with you to create a routine that fits your pet’s specific needs—whether that means daily walks, playtime, or just plenty of cuddles. My goal is to ensure your pet feels comfortable, happy, and well-cared for, and I’ll work with you to find a schedule that works for both of us.

Safety, trust & environment

Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are my top priorities. I provide attentive, hands-on care to ensure they feel secure and loved at all times. When caring for your pet in your home, I focus on maintaining their familiar routines to help them feel comfortable and stress-free. Whether it’s sticking to their feeding schedule, favorite walking routes, or playtime habits, I’m dedicated to creating a safe and enjoyable environment that feels just like home.

Information Erica R. would like to know about your pet

Understanding your pet’s unique needs is key to providing the best care possible. I love learning about their daily routines, favorite activities, dietary preferences, and any allergies to ensure they have a seamless and comfortable experience. It’s also helpful to know about their temperament and any past experiences with walks or pet-sitting. The more I know, the better I can tailor our time together—whether that means extra playtime, a little more patience, or sticking closely to their usual routine. My goal is to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and right at home!

A typical day

A typical day with me is all about keeping your pup happy, active, and comfortable. Whether it’s playtime with their favourite toys, cozy snuggles, or refreshing walks, I’m here to make sure they feel loved and cared for. I’ll stick closely to their usual routines to help them feel at ease while also adding plenty of fun and affection to their day. My goal is to make every moment enjoyable, so your fur-baby feels right at home—even when you’re away!

Pet care experience

Hi there! I’m Erica, a lifelong animal lover and proud dog mom to two adorable pups—Rome, my playful 4-year-old Goldendoodle, and Dolce, my sweet and spunky 13-year-old Shih-poo. Caring for animals has always been second nature to me. Over the years, I’ve had the joy of looking after the pets of friends and family, making sure they felt safe, loved, and right at home while their owners were away. I know how important it is to trust someone with your furry family member, and that's why I’m committed to providing a comfortable, fun, and safe experience—whether it's a cozy stay or an energizing walk. Every pet is unique, and I’m happy to work with you to make sure your dog’s specific needs are met, so they’re happy, healthy, and well-cared for. I can’t wait to meet your pup and give them all the love and attention they deserve!

Erica was lovely. She was punctual, the pooches were drawn to her instantly and she gave us regular updates. We would absolutely recommend her, and we hope to see her again.

Erica was amazing with our two nervous pups, they warmed up to her very quickly! She was very communicative each visit, and took great photos of the dogs while she was here :) Thanks again, Erica!
