My typical routine is: short morning walk before I start my work day at 8am, feed breakfast, extended lunch break walk around 12, potty break at 4pm, feed dinner on your schedule, extended walk in the evening around 6:45pm. If your dog needs more frequent potty breaks, I am able to accommodate that. If your dog has any restrictions on length of walks, please let me know so I can adjust accordingly. My fiance John also works from home and we sometimes take turns taking the dogs out.

I have a yard and friendly dog at home. My desk is set up in the living room where the dogs spend most of their time lounging during the work day, so I am able to keep an eye on them. I am available to send updates and photos to make sure you feel at ease. You’re welcome to message me at any time to see how they are doing! I feed dogs separately to make sure there are no issues and to avoid distractions.

Information Erica S. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog needs any special accommodation, such as hand-feeding, support getting on/off couch, medication, etc so we can discuss whether I am able to accommodate.

A typical day

We will walk multiple times throughout the day to explore all the smells in my neighborhood. When it’s nice out, we might hang out in my back yard and enjoy some sun. On weekends, we may venture out to a local trail to get some new scenery (with your permission, of course!)

Pets

Work from home dog lover!

Pet care experience

Hello! I’ve taken care of dogs both personally (for family & friends) and professionally for over 5 years. I’ve worked with dogs ranging from 8lbs to 70lbs. I work from home full-time and love the outdoors. I take regular breaks to go outside in my yard, and am able provide morning, lunch-time, and evening walks. I have a chihuahua mix of my own who is almost 10 years old. He can be shy at first but has warmed up to every dog I’ve brought around him and he enjoys having friends come over. I take no more than 2 dogs at a time to make sure I can provide enough attention and for safety. If your pup has any issues being around multiple dogs, please let me know and I can arrange to make sure they will be the only dog during their stay (besides my resident Toiro!) I am able to care for dogs up to 60lbs. I ask that you please make sure your pups are up to date on shots when booking with me. This helps prevent spread of illness to keep all of our furry animals happy and healthy :)

My girl came home happy and she didn't want to leave her vacation! Erica was communicative and sent a picture or video almost every day which I told her gave huge comfort to my toddler. She delivered all of Coco Chanel's meds without incidence (and even gave her bi-weekly subcutaneous shot). Thank you Erica, we will book with you again!

Erica is fantastic. She has watched my two dogs many times over the last 3 years. She is super responsive and is always willing to take on last minute requests when she can. We have used her for some walks, but mostly pet-sitting. Our dogs love her house!!
