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 a wonderful sitter for Ru and was very communicative and kind :) she gave us tons of updates while we were away which we loved. Would absolutely recommend Erica as a sitter for anyone — she provided a clean and caring home and Ru looked so happy in all the photos ❤️❤️

Erica took amazing care of our pup for six nights, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience. She provided detailed daily check-ins with lots of photos, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. You can tell she is a true dog lover and genuinely enjoyed spending time with our dog. Her kids were wonderful as well and clearly loved having our pup there. Our dog was absolutely spoiled with attention and care. We are so grateful to Erica and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, reliable sitter!

I feel very fortunate to have found Erica. I hired her to care for my boy Marco while I went out of town for three nights. Erica and her adorable boys completely welcomed Marco into their home like he was family. Erica is a nurse and I felt very comfortable leaving my elderly dog in her care. She was extremely conscientious about his medications and routine (better than I am). She sent regular updates and photos. I couldn’t have asked for better care and peace of mind. I highly recommend Erica, Bowen and Arlo (her sweet sons). They love dogs and take wonderful care of their doggie house guests.
