Highlights
Pet care experience
Pawsitively Trusted Pet Care
With 14 years of diverse experience in pet care, I bring a unique depth of knowledge and skills to my role as a pet sitter. My journey includes 10 years of in-home pet care, 6 years in doggy daycare, and 6 years in veterinary medicine. This broad exposure has equipped me with the ability to handle a variety of animal temperaments and cater to the unique needs of each pet. My time in doggy daycare has honed my skills in managing and understanding different animal behaviors, while my veterinary experience has sharpened my ability to recognize emergencies and respond swiftly to ensure the pet receives the necessary care. This combination of experiences ensures that I am prepared for any situation and can provide the best care for your pet.

Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Ozzy would probably NEVER come home if it was up to him. I highly recommend any fur baby with Erica as she communicates well and has always been so accommodating when asked. I am forever grateful Ozzy got to experience Erica and her family!
I love leaving Ozzy with Erica and he feels the same way. She communicates well throughout the day with photos and videos and always asks beforehand whether travel or treats. I would highly recommend her for anyone who needs someone to care for their fur babies.
Erica was great and super communicative while I was away from my baby!
On time and great updates over the course of her watching our pups. Will be using again in the future for our next out of town trips!
Erica was great with my German Shepherd while we were away! She sent plenty of updates and videos of how he was doing and didn’t hesitate to ask questions to ensure she and my boy were communicating and bonding well together. She even went out of her way to help me with the request of watering my plants while we were gone too. We will definitely be reaching out to Erica again next time we travel!
Great and professional visit for my cat. I was worried because of the ants(couldn’t removed them by cleaning nor bait) but she also recommended the way to avoid ants being in the cat food by putting the plate in the middle of water. Highly recommend her if you are in Fernley.

My flexible schedule allows me to easily accommodate pet sitting and care, ensuring that I can provide attentive, personalized care to each pet.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
In both my home and my clients’ homes, I prioritize creating a safe, comfortable, and engaging environment for the pets I care for. When caring for pets in my home, I ensure they have a welcoming space with plenty of room to play and relax, following their routine as closely as possible to make them feel secure and at ease. I maintain strict hygiene standards and keep the area safe and pet-friendly, with all necessary supplies at hand, including toys, bedding, and emergency contact information. In my clients’ homes, I respect their space and maintain the pet’s routine to provide stability and comfort. I am attentive to the pet’s needs and behaviors, making sure they receive regular exercise, playtime, and any required medications or special care. I communicate regularly with the pet owners, providing updates and photos to assure them that their beloved pet is in good hands. In both settings, I am adaptable and responsive to the specific needs of each pet, ensuring they receive the best possible care under my supervision
Pets
A typical day
Every dog has their own set of likes and dislikes, which I strive to understand and respect. The activities we engage in will depend on what your dog loves, information that comes directly from you, the owner, and what I learn about them as we spend more time together. My aim is to ensure that the activities are not only enjoyable but also contribute positively to your dog’s physical and emotional health. I am open to anything your dog loves to do!
