I work from home, so I’m able to provide consistent supervision, companionship, and attention throughout the day. Pets in my care aren’t left alone for long periods, which is especially helpful for dogs who are used to having people around. I can easily incorporate walks, playtime, and feeding schedules into my daily routine.

Safety, trust & environment

My home is a clean, one-story house in a quiet, dog-friendly neighborhood with sidewalks and access to the Beaver Creek Greenway for safe walks. I provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident and connected while you’re away. My goal is to make your pet feel secure, comfortable, and cared for just like they would at home. My two boys are gentle, respectful, and experienced with dogs, and they enjoy helping give extra attention when appropriate.

Information Erica R. would like to know about your pet

To make sure your dog has the best possible experience, I like to learn a few key things ahead of time: -How your dog does on walks (leash behavior, reactivity, energy level) -How your dog interacts with children -Any routines, triggers, or special needs -Feeding schedule and preferences -Medications or health considerations I want to make sure your dog feels safe, happy, and at home.

A typical day

Each day is tailored to your dog’s normal routine so they feel as comfortable as possible. I try to keep feeding times, walks, and rest periods consistent with what they’re used to at home. A typical day includes morning potty breaks and a walk, followed by relaxed time at home while I work nearby. Throughout the day, there’s a mix of playtime, outdoor breaks, and rest. Since I only host one dog at a time, your pet gets plenty of one-on-one care and becomes part of our daily family routine.

WFH nurse, loving 1 dog at a time

Pet care experience

I’m a nurse and lifelong dog lover with years of hands-on experience caring for my own pets, including a dog who lived to be 22. Caring for others is a big part of who I am, and I bring that same attention, patience, and compassion to every dog I watch. I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions, including medications, special diets, and senior dog needs. I treat every pet like family and tailor care to their unique personality.

Erica was the perfect sitter for Cole! She followed his routine and took such great care of him. She gave him all the cuddles he needed! Will definitely have Cole stay at her place again!

Erica was wonderful! Plenty of updates about my little pup while I was away for a wedding. Very responsive to my messages and you can tell her and her boys love dogs. Thank you!

This was our first visit with Erica. She kept us updated with pictures of Mocha throughout the day, walking playing and resting. Mocha seemed very happy at pickup. We certainly will be using Erica again!
