Highlights
Pet care experience
Friendly and outdoorsy dog lover
Hi! If you’re needing someone to give your fur baby some extra love, time and attention while you’re away, then I’m your gal! I’ve grown up with small and large dog breeds my whole life and love all animals. I can safely provide medication administration and have experience with senior pets. I have a 10 yr old beagle/basset hound named Penny. She loves the Trinity Trails for exercise and sniffing around. I’m very mindful when approaching other dogs and always ask the owner if it’s okay to engage or let them know to give us space. And I’d provide that same care for your dog when walking them in your neighborhood. I also always carry a flexible water bowl and poop bags to stay prepared. I look forward to taking care of your pet(s). Please message me with any questions you may have. I keep my calendar updated monthly. I’m located about 10 minutes from downtown Fort Worth and in some cases, will travel 20 minutes out.

Safety, trust & environment
As an owner of a dog with separation anxiety, it’s really important to me that your dog feels safe and protected. For drop-in visits, I’ll make sure we play some enrichment games, have treats that your provide, give them extra cuddles, take them for a short walk or play time in the backyard, and ensure they get their potty break and a full water bowl before leaving. For walking services, I always bring my own poop bags, and a collapsible bowl with fresh water to ensure your pet is refreshed and comfortable. Depending on your pets size, I’m more than happy to do a meet and greet over the phone or in-person to ensure I can handle their size, especially if they’re a strong puller.
Ratings and reviews
Erica is a very reliable dog person. Not only is she active and able to take the dogs out for exercise, but she is also experienced and able to distribute medications. She stayed at our house and kept three dogs entertained and fed without any issues. She is also able to care for both small and large dogs. Erica has a friendly personality, but is also assertive enough to control dogs and not let them take over the home environment.
As cheeseball as it sounds, Erica’s heart is in the shape of a paw. Your animals will be in the safest most caring hands. I’ve seen this first hand and can say she always puts their needs ahead of her own. She’s patience, kind, responsible and charming to boot! Do yourself a favor and book her ASAP!

Schedule
I work full-time in aviation and usually have 4 days off a week. On my off days, I’m available the entire day for drop-in visits and walking services. If I have weeks notice, I can usually alter my schedule. ** I currently don’t provide boarding in my home or at others.**
