Pawsitively Trusted Pet Care
Pet care experience
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.
Reviews
We love Erica! She always goes above and beyond anything we ask from her. And she loves Bailey and that's what matters to us! Thank you.
Erica saved my dogs life when my husband and I were away! Bullet stomach had twisted and she rushed him to our vet. I recommend her time and time again. Bullet gets excited anytime he sees her!

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

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!
