Highlights
Pet care experience
Where dogs visit their fav aunt!!
If you think of your dog as your child, you’re in the right place. When dogs stay with me, they aren’t just being “watched,” they’re coming to visit their favorite aunt. My home is calm, loving, and comfortable, and dogs are treated like family from the moment they arrive. I have experience from my time in fostering and caring for dogs of all ages, personalities, and needs, including seniors and dogs who require extra patience or flexibility. I take the time to learn each dog’s routine, temperament, and comfort level so they can truly settle in and feel at home. My Home & Care Style: I believe dogs deserve freedom, comfort, and affection; not a kennel-style environment. Dogs in my care are free to relax, roam, nap, and be loved just like they would at home. I’m attentive, hands-on, and very present. Whether that’s cuddle time, playtime, or simply keeping them company, your dog will never feel ignored or like “just another booking.” Communication & Peace of Mind: I know how hard it is to leave your dog — especially when they’re your baby. That’s why I prioritize clear, consistent communication. You’ll receive regular updates, photos, and videos so you can see how your dog is doing and travel with peace of mind. Many pet parents tell me their dogs settle in quickly and seem genuinely happy during their stay and that means everything to me. I treat every dog as if they were my own. It’s an honor to be trusted with someone’s “child,” and I never take that lightly. I’d love to welcome your dog for a visit anytime

Ratings and reviews
Erica is the best! During our two week trip, she constantly sent pictures and updated us with how my our dog was doing. I know my dog had an absolute blast with Erica and her dogs! Our return flight got cancelled to an additional day and Erica was super accommodating in taking care of Bumi another night. I would recommend her to anyone who needs a dog sitter
Erica is always available to us and our pup is so happy with her! Thanks for giving us peace of mind!
Luna loved her stay with Erica! I would definitely book again with her
Erica took great care of our Xena. She kept us updated of any problems as well. We thank her for help making us able to relax on our family trip.

Erica was able to watch my pup Cairo at a late notice. Definitely made it easy to travel with ease of mind.

Schedule
I work primarily from home, which allows me to be very present and flexible with the dogs in my care. I’m great with routines and enjoy a calm, home-based lifestyle. Which makes this a perfect environment for pups to relax, feel secure, and enjoy playtime without chaos. Think of it as a visit with their favorite aunt, not a drop-off.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
My home is safe, clean, and consistently maintained, with a secure backyard for supervised outdoor time. Dogs are free-roaming indoors and encouraged to relax and settle in comfortably. I do have a kennel available if needed, but I rarely use it unless it’s specifically requested or required for a dog’s comfort. Safety, calm introductions, and respecting each dog’s boundaries are always my priority.
Pets
A typical day
Days are calm, structured, and cozy. Dogs enjoy playtime, enrichment toys, treats, outdoor breaks, and plenty of downtime. My home is two stories, quiet, and relaxed. More of a doggie lounge than a daycare. My own dogs are well-mannered, non-aggressive, and a bit shy at first, but they do well with slow, respectful introductions. Once everyone is comfortable, it’s all about a peaceful, spoiled, at-home experience.
