Safety, trust & environment

I live in a home with a large, fenced in yard. My subdivision is perfect for walks and I live close to trails and dog parks. I have a 12 year old who enjoys playing catch, going for walks and bike rides, so your pup will get fresh air and have a best friend to play and cuddle with! Dogs have free range of the house and are not crated unless requested by you or if that’s their preference.

Information Erica S. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any special needs or anything I should be on the outlook for. As a foster mom, I know each pup has their own quirks and preferences, so the more I know, the better of a time your dog will have!

A typical day

I have a huge backyard where dogs can run and play. We love playing Frisbee, fetch and sniff out the treat. Your pup can expect walks through the neighborhood and getting as much fresh air as possible!

Fur is my favorite accessory

Pet care experience

I have 12 year old son who is the designated “Chief Fetch Specialist,” and dogs adore him! We both love being outdoors with our 5 year old Labahoula, Ralph who we refer to as our Gandhi dog - he loves everyone, let’s all dogs in his home to play with his toys and share his humans, and helps teach our foster pups how to be a dog ❤️ We foster puppies through 4paws4rescue. If your dog loves cozy couch cuddles, believes all snacks are community property, and judging strangers from the window is their favorite past time…Congrats — they’ll fit RIGHT IN at my house. 😂🐾 Don’t let your dog stare at the wall questioning their life choices. Hire me instead. I’m here to make sure your pup gets top-notch care, plenty of playtime, and all the snuggles they deserve. ✨ What I offer: ✔️ Safe, reliable, in-home dog sitting ✔️ A yard perfect for zoomies ✔️ Playtime, feeding, and medication if needed ✔️ Regular photo updates so you can relax ✔️ Flexible scheduling ✔️ Lots of love and attention for every pup Your dog becomes part of the family while you're away. 🐕💕 I’m a caring, reliable pet sitter who treats every dog like they’re part of my own family. I know how stressful it can be to leave your pets behind, so my goal is simple: keep them happy, safe, and totally spoiled while you’re away. 🐾 My Promise Your dog will be safe, loved, entertained, and mildly spoiled. Not too spoiled. Just enough that they miss me when they go home but still love you the most.

Erica was great with Lenny. It was Lenny's first time away from home and everything went great! So pleased with Erica's service and communication.

Erica is the best. She takes great care of my pup. He comes home happy and tired from lots of playtime. She sends updates and pictures while we’re gone, and I know he’s getting great care.

It was very comforting to know that Auggie was content and looked after so lovingly. I will use Erica in the future for sure!
