Highlights
Pet care experience
Your Pets Second Best Friend 🐾
*** For the safety of all pets in my care, I kindly ask that your pet is up to date on flea, tick, and heartworm preventatives before booking. *** A little about me, I have had some training in dog grooming, so I can help with bathing, basic grooming, and administering medication when needed. I have years of experience caring for dogs of all ages, including senior pets and puppies. I understand the importance of tailoring care to meet each pet’s unique needs, whether it’s providing extra attention, exercise, or managing special requirements. I’ve had the pleasure of sitting family and friends’ fur babies, building trust and strong relationships along the way. My goal is to make every pet feel safe, loved, and at home while you’re away.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Great with my pup.
Erica took great care of my dog, and was willing to allow for a later pick up time than we initially agreed upon. Great communication, and we got photos every day. My dog did not want to go home. Usually after 3 days, she’s pulling me to the car, not after 3 days with Erika!
Erica was so great with our dog! We boarded with her for over a week and got lots of daily updates. Our boy was injured at the time and she graciously accommodated his needs. Would highly recommend booking with Erica!
Erica was amazing with my pup! My dog is a bit of a grumpy/lazy old lady, and Erica really helped her settle in and made her feel right at home. Erica gave my dog 1-on-1 attention and always made sure to check in and let me know how she was doing. She wanted my pup to be comfortable in her home and she went the extra mile to make it happen!
Thank you so much for taking care of our Tessa - she had a great time, and we loved the notes and pictures!
Erica was AMAZING at take care of my two dogs for a week. She updated me every morning and through out the day with pictures of how they were doing, and even accommodated to my younger dog that was being a stinker to her dog. I would recommend her to anyone, 10/10. If she will allow my pets in her home again, I will definitely be booking with her again for other shorter trips I have planned in the future!

Schedule
I’m a stay-at-home mom and wife, so I’m home throughout the day and able to provide constant supervision and care. Your pet will receive plenty of attention, whether that’s playtime, cuddles, or outdoor adventures at any time of day. I’m happy to adapt to your dog’s individual energy level and needs. I love staying active, so daily walks are part of my routine, and I’m always up for longer walks or hikes with more energetic pups. Your furry friend will have my full attention and lots of opportunities for exercise, fun, and companionship. 🐾
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I start my day early to ensure I have plenty of time to dedicate to caring for your fur baby. I have a sweet, well-socialized dog that I adopted 7 years ago, and she loves having new friends to play with. Whether it’s long walks, runs, or relaxed playtime in my backyard or at a dog park, I always tailor activities to your pet’s energy level and preferences. My home is a warm and welcoming space, and I strive to make every pet feel comfortable and at ease. My dog is naturally nurturing and helps other dogs feel less anxious or sad, creating a calm and friendly environment. I’ll do everything possible to make your fur baby feel at home while they’re under my care, ensuring they’re safe, happy, and loved.
Pets
A typical day
I have a variety of fun dog toys that my fur baby loves sharing, so there will be plenty of playtime to keep your dog entertained. I’ll take them on daily walks around my neighborhood, giving them a chance to explore and meet other friendly neighborhood dogs. For even more excitement, we’ll visit dog parks where they can run, play, and socialize in a safe environment. I understand how challenging it can be to find someone you trust with your fur baby when life gets busy or you need to travel. That’s why I’m here to help. I’ll care for your pet as if they were my own, ensuring they feel loved, safe, and happy while they’re with me.
