I’m a great pet caregiver because I genuinely understand the needs of both large dogs and cats, having owned a Great Dane and a cat myself. My experience working from home as a Leasing and Marketing Manager has given me the skills to manage my time effectively, ensuring pets receive the attention, care, and exercise they need. I’m patient, responsible, and passionate about creating a loving environment for every pet. My experience with different breeds means I know how to tailor my care to each animal’s personality, making me a reliable and attentive caregiver.

Safety, trust & environment

Safety, trust, and environment are my top priorities when caring for pets, whether in my home or my client’s home. I ensure a pet-friendly, secure environment by removing hazards, providing ample space, and using safety gates if necessary. I build trust through consistent care, communication with pet owners, and by following any specific instructions regarding routines, diet, or medical needs. I offer plenty of attention, exercise, and affection to keep pets comfortable and happy. My experience caring for both large dogs and cats means I’m well-equipped to handle different needs, ensuring a positive, safe environment for all pets.

Information Erica W. would like to know about your pet

Before caring for your pets, it’s important for me to know their energy levels, any special needs, and daily routines to ensure I provide the best care. For dogs, understanding their behavior on walks and any preferences for outdoor activities helps me tailor our adventures to their liking. If your pet has any triggers, sensitivities, or health concerns, that’s key information I can use to keep them safe and comfortable. For cats, knowing their favorite toys, feeding schedule, and whether they prefer playtime or quiet cuddle sessions helps me create a stress-free environment. The more I know, the more I can make their experience as enjoyable as possible!

Erica is wonderful! She took amazing care of our two cats; making 2 drop in visits each day. She left thoughtful comments as to how they were doing and sent photos with each visit. She clearly loves animals and is a lovely person herself! I will entrust her to care for my pets in the future.

Erica did a wonderful job taking care of our dog! She was very responsive to messages, punctual to times agreed upon, and able to pick up a couple extra visits that came up last minute. She was responsible for the needs of our dog, but took a few minutes to be pet our cat to be sure she didn’t feel left out! She will be my first contact for any future pet sitting needs.
