Information Erica S. would like to know about your pet

Before a dog comes into my care, I would like to know what your feeding schedule looks like, and environmental or food allergies as well as if the dog is dog or people safe.

A typical day

A typical day is focused on mental and physical enrichment, pending and medical needs. I send updates talking about how to make life with your dog more enriching for all. I do tons of play depending on their motivators and can also socialize dogs on occasion!

Professional trainer empowering you

Pet care experience

Welcome to my page, where I am striving to create more empowered pet owners! I am a professional dog trainer who has experience training in many different styles. I continue to pursue my degree, multiple different K9 nutrition certifications, and go to seminars to continue to build my knowledge base on different types of training. In boarding, I focus on mental enrichment and thrive to create more educated and confident pet owners. I’m always open to questions and would love to talk more about any of my services!

Erica has been a great asset to our new puppy. Our puppy is pretty nervous about some of his surroundings and she has been patient and reassuring with him. He is already in love with her and looks forward to seeing her every day. I highly recommend her after learning about her experience with dogs, training, walking, etc. Book her now...you won't regret it!

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.
