Information Erica & Ricardo G. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know your dog's personality and if they like to play with other dogs, like to nap or prefer to stay busy, what keeps them from getting too bored, if there are spots on their body they love or hate to have scratched, etc. I have Petey, an 85 pound derpy lazy pittie mix and he loves to meet new friends and play, and also take long naps wherever he lands.

A typical day

Play with balls, play fetch, hang out in the front yard (where they can watch the world go by, or yell about it too :) ), watch the doggies run and play together (safely), use an enrichment mat, practice commands they might know!

Pet care experience

Hi! My rate is $9/hour - when you book, I will modify the overall rate based on how many hours you enter between dropoff and pickup. But no worries, I am very flexible! I am absolutely enamored with the sweetness and silliness of all animals, particularly dogs, and I love to meet and take care of them. We have a big house, a fenced in yard, and a derpy playmate named Petey (who loves making canine friends too). I’d love to watch your pet and give you peace of mind that they’re well cared for, loved, safe, and having fun! Or a good nap, that’s great too. :)

Erica was so good to our dog over the holidays. She was a great communicator, sent pictures and accommodated our complicated schedule. I highly recommend Erica!

A wonderful home and welcoming family! My 4 mo old puppy was happy upon arrival and looked right at home. I am grateful to have found Erica/Richard and for them accommodating to my request. Thank you!!

Our pup loves going to Erica and Ricardo’s for daycare. She’s an anxious girl, but she gets so excited when we pull up and runs into the house as soon as we get there. She gets lots of playtime and love, and we get cute pictures and updates. Would definitely recommend them!
