Your furbaby’s new bestie 🐾🥰

Pet care experience

I’ve been a house and pet sitter for over 15 years, first starting in college. Friends, family and colleagues always feel confident and comfortable asking me to care for their floofs because they know I’ll love them as if they’re my own. ✅[[CAN DO]]✅ • Frequent walks • Pets on special diets or medication • Large breeds (including pittys, rotties, dobermans, etc…), small breeds, or puppies of varied characteristics and personality as long as they have been properly trained and do relatively well with basic commands • 2+ simultaneous pet care (please be sure to add *ALL* paw and claw beings {cats, dogs, guiñea pigs, lizards, etc…} to your request for accurate booking ‼️[[IMPORTANT NOTES for HOME SITTING]]‼️ If you decide to send a request, here is what you can expect: ➡️ You’ll receive a welcome message so I can get to know you and your furbaby(ies) better (e.g. general temperament/character, food + snack requirements, exercise needs, medication, house rules, etc…) ➡️ Unless it’s a last minute booking, we’ll schedule ONE (1) initial in person visit at least a week in advance of your request but no more than two. Should you require more than one visit, we can do as many video calls as needed prior to and after the ONE (1) in person initial visit OR you can book a separate series of 30 minute drop-in visits to maintain each party’s efficiency

Safety, trust & environment

For care in my clients’ homes, dogs are leashed for walks and bathroom breaks unless the home is fenced or your pet does not have a habit of leaving the property. Vests are preferred over collars for safety or if your pet has a habit of pulling or lunging. Pets in general are frequently cuddled, receive belly rubs/skritches, and earn treats within reason. Sometimes I may try to find a program or music for them to listen to so they don’t get lonely or bored. I enjoy taking them for walks so we both get exercise or play fetch in the backyard. Your furbaby is likely to become one of my best friends :) and we’ll always take lots of pictures to send to the hooman (psst… if you’re okay with me posting your babe’s portrait on my profile, please let me know!)

Information Erica S. would like to know about your pet

If your boo has any routines or quirks, spooks, stringent schedules, medicine, or other needs that require special attention, please let me know so I can make adequate arrangements or accommodations.

A typical day

If your pet likes car rides, let’s go for a drive! Maybe we can stop and get a puppicino on the way. We’ll make sure to take copious exploratory walks around the neighborhood or the park if that’s their thing. You wanna tug-o-war? May the strongest win! You’ll get yummy fresh snacks like cucumber, strawberries, blueberries, carrots, and watermelon, if allowed.

Availability

I work remotely so outside of occasional meetings or life errands, can be available and mostly open for last minute pet care requests, particularly specializing in extended short term care (2+ weeks); willing to travel a moderate distance to Massachusetts, New York, and Rhode Island if it’s under 90 minutes of travel time.
