I am a full-time student from September-May. I work part-time during the summer, so I generally have more time to spend with your pet throughout the week. I play organ and sing at various churches every weekend, which occupies my Saturday evenings & Sunday mornings. I also practice music every weekday morning.

Safety, trust & environment

My home does not allow for pets, so I will be happy to stay in your home and take care of your dog in the environment they know best.

Information Erica S. would like to know about your pet

With my experience as a dog groomer, I am used to working with dogs closely. My goal is to make sure they trust me and are as comfortable with me as possible. I’d love to know if they thrive off of more personal space or if they need cuddles 💕

A typical day

Your dog’s needs for mental and physical activity are important to me, so I will happily bring your dog to explore around the neighborhood or a cool park. And who doesn’t love a good game (or a few games) of fetch and tug-of-war?

Pet care experience

I’ve loved dogs since I was a kid. In middle school, I began taking care of family & friends’ dogs. I love spending quality time with dogs, getting to know their unique personalities, and honoring their needs. I am also an experienced dog groomer who values building a bond of trust with pets and their families.

We were hesitant to find a sitter for our pup via Rover as we only have left our dog Douglas with family/friends in the past, but we are so glad we found Erica! With her background as a groomer, she knows how to handle dogs very well, especially bigs one who has bursts of energy! She was very responsive, trusting, and kept us updated pictures! Would definitely book with her again!

Erica was the best dog sitter we have ever had! She stayed in our home for 5 days and took such great care of our incredibly high-energy Australian Shepherd puppy. From the start, she was communicative, reliable, and incredibly trustworthy. She kept us updated throughout the stay and sent the most adorable (and hilarious) photos, which we loved. It gave us so much peace of mind knowing he was in such good hands. We look forward to booking her again!

I have known Erica since she was early adolescent. She’s a very mature young lady, now in college. She has dog sat for me two or three times a year the past several years. My two different dogs over that time period, have gotten very excited when she has come to take care of him. She has taken care of Duke or Lucky for three or four day weekends or up to a two week vacation at a time. She is very good with the dog and keeps the house neat and proper while she is there. I would highly recommend her to anyone!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
