Safety, trust & environment

I live in a spacious Brooklyn townhome with plenty of room for dogs to move around comfortably. We’re just a 5-minute walk to Prospect Park, so boarded or daycare dogs get real outdoor time with open grass and space to run. I’m experienced with both small and large breeds and know how to create a calm, safe environment for dogs whether I’m hosting at my place or visiting yours.

Information Erica S. would like to know about your pet

Let me know of any interesting quirks I should be mindful of or anything that makes your dog nervous. It’s also helpful for me to know if there’s any separation anxiety and if the dog can be left alone for any period of time. Although I do work from home and I’m home often, my preference is for a dog that can be home alone for at least 3-4 hours just in case I need to run out for anything.

A typical day

I like mental stimulation for the dogs and letting the dogs control the walk. We go where they want to go and explore where they want to. It’s their walk, not mine. I love taking cool photos of the pups around the neighborhood and the pet parents usually enjoy it. I go on long walks (45 min-60 min) if the dog is up for it and weather permitting.

Brooklyn Lawyer/Lifelong Dog Lover

Pet care experience

I’ve been around dogs my whole life — growing up with them at home gave me a deep understanding of their needs and personalities. I’ve cared for dogs of all sizes, from small breeds to large dogs, for friends and family through walks, drop-ins, and home stays. As a remote-working attorney, I bring the same reliability and attention to detail to pet care that I do to my professional life. Your pup will always be in trustworthy, attentive hands.

Erica did an excellent job taking care of my dog during the day. He had plenty of playtime and really enjoyed being with her. My dog now always wants to go see her when we're near her home

Erica is so great! She took wonderful care of Benny and was so sweet with him. She went above and beyond and was also excellent with communication.

Erica is kind, friendly, reliable, and most of all so patient and sweet with our pup Yoshi! Yoshi tends to be anxious and shy, but he warmed up quite quickly to Erica! She is very accommodating to his quirks and needs on his walks and is very communicative with us after each walk. We would recommend her to anyone!
