I'll care for your dog as my own.
Pet care experience
I have two puppies of my own. Every dog is a puppy to me regardless of age. One is a small senior pup (cairn terrier) and the other is a young and energetic one (pitbull lab mix). My pitbull is a rescue and has arthritis, so I'm familiar with giving oral medication and I have experience with dogs who were abused. I've always had such a love for dogs and taking care of them. I work full time but am more than willing to walk/check in on your dog before/after work and if I can, on my break too. I'm training to be a personal trainer so I love to make sure my dogs get enough exercise and I'd love you to do the same with yours.
Reviews
Erica was absolutely wonderful. My dog is pretty anxious around new people and this was the first time leaving her in a new home. Erica was very patient and able to calm the barking easily. We got regular updates about how things were going and came home to a very happy dog. I will definitely be using Erica for all of our future sitting needs.
Erica is a dog lover. This became apparent when she helped take care of my sick dog. Erica displayed such genuine love and patience with my dog Romeo. Romeo was a skeptical dog. Didn’t let anyone outside of my family walk him but he warmed up to Erica immediately. Even during his last few days, Romeo would still be happy to see Erica. Her love for dogs gave me piece of mind when I left Romeo is her care.
Erica was amazing when my family welcomed a 6-month old rambunctious husky/german shepherd to my home after rescuing her from a mill. She understood the dogs needs immediately and helped with her dicey behavior. She assisted us in creating and maintaining a training/food/walk schedule. JoJo is 3 years old now and we've seen a drastic and positive change thanks to Erica!
Erica has always loved dogs. Constantly asking her parents since she was young if she could have one until they finally gave in! She's raised 3+ pups since then, all very well behaved. She has a natural leadership ability and would be able to handle any pack!
About Erica V.
Skills
Information Erica V. would like to know about your pet
Does your dog like going to the dog park? Do they have any precautions I should know about? For example, if they don't like other dogs, have a fear of strangers, get scared easily, etc. What's your dog's favorite toy/treat? Do they have any allergies or food restrictions?
A typical day
We can play fetch, tug of war, and go on long walks to the nearest fire hydrant. I love going to the dog park and watching dogs interact with each other.
