Erica can care for
Availability
Pet care fits easily into my routine and I have flexibility during both the day and evenings. I’m available for walks throughout the week and can be consistent with scheduling. I prefer to focus on walks and drop-ins rather than overnight care, so I can give each dog my full attention and energy during our time together.
About Erica S.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
Safety is always my top priority. I take time to understand each dog’s behavior, triggers, and routine before starting. I’m especially mindful with reactive dogs and make sure to keep a safe distance from other animals or distractions when needed. I follow any instructions closely, use secure leashing practices, and keep pet parents updated so you always feel confident your dog is in good hands.
Information Erica S. would like to know about your pet
I like to know your dog’s temperament, energy level, and any triggers or behaviors to be aware of, especially if they are reactive. It’s helpful to understand their routine, leash behavior, and how they interact with other dogs or people. Please also share any medical needs, feeding instructions, or specific preferences so I can keep their routine consistent and make them feel comfortable and safe!
A typical day
I tailor activities to each dog’s personality and energy level. This can include structured walks, letting them sniff and explore, light playtime, and basic reinforcement of good leash habits. For more active dogs, I keep things engaging with longer walks, while calmer dogs get a slower, relaxed pace. With reactive dogs, I focus on low stress routes and controlled environments so they can still enjoy their time outside safely :)

Trusted dog walker-all temperaments
Pet care experience
I have over 15 years of experience caring for dogs of all sizes and temperaments. For the past 3 years, I’ve owned a rescue dog who is reactive, so I’m very comfortable handling dogs that need extra patience, awareness, and structure on walks. I understand how to read body language, avoid triggers, and keep walks calm and safe. I’m dependable, communicative, and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. Whether your dog is easygoing or needs a little extra care, I treat every pet like my own.
Reviews
Erica is amazing, she is great at communicating and is very patient with animals. I highly recommend her!
She was amazing very professional handled my reactive dog great on a walk in a busy area highly recommend
Erica did a great job dropping in on my kitty and I highly recommend!
Erica has been walking and doing drop-ins for my dog, Millie, for a little over a month now. She is the absolute best and Millie is always so excited and smiling in the pictures she sends! Erica goes above and beyond, she’s been able to do a quick drop in when I needed it, will let me know if Millie is acting a little different, and always sends a picture during the visit. Erica is awesome!
