Attentive/interactive pet sitter
Pet care experience
I am a dedicated animal lover! I have had experience with many pets in my life (dogs, cats, Guinea pigs, ducks, rats and lots of fish). I graduated college for the first time in 2019 with a biology degree. I volunteered at an SPCA near my school for for my senior year. I graduated from Medaille's vet tech program and passed my Board Exam in 2021, making me an Licensed Vet Tech. I work full time at a clinic in East Aurora and love every second. I have experience with a variety of animals from my own pets to the exotics we see at the clinic, so I am able to look after more than just dogs. I am looking forward to becoming a dog sitter and dog walker, and if you need someone to watch your other pets too, I'm your girl! I have a crazy schedule, but am available most evenings, so don't hesitate to reach out and we can hopefully work something out.
Reviews
Erica took care of our dogs in our home on short notice and was fantastic. She kept us updated and the dogs did very well with her!
Erica is the best! Our dogs LOVED her! One of our pups has pretty bad stranger anxiety, but she wanted up to Erica right away! Erica was very friendly, great with communication and kept our house very clean throughout her stay! We would recommend Erica to any of our friends, and have already booked her for multiple future stays!
Eric did a great job with my dog Roxie!
Erica is the BEST! She did two overnight stays with my senior dog and my puppy who, while lovable, is definitely going through the terrible toddler stage.. lots of messages and chewed power cords. Erica was a champ, even offering insights and recommendations from her experience as a vet tech. She followed all of my instructions to a T and sent lots of happy dog photos and videos. I can’t say enough great things about her!! I would definitely use her services again.

I am able to match your dog's personality. If your dog prefers to chill on the couch and go outside every so often, I can do that, or I can take them on extended walks or throw a ball in the backyard. I also enjoy taking dogs to pet-friendly places for socialization, so if that is something you think your fur baby would like, let me know!
Information Erica W. would like to know about your pet
I would love to know their normal routine and if they have specific needs. It's also nice to know how they are on a leash if they need walks, how they react to other dogs/animals, or how they do in cars and around other people. I love to take them with me if possible to dog-friendly places so these are important. Also that they are current on their rabies vaccine
A typical day
I would take the dogs on walks around the Village, or even just the neighborhood. I will try to find a good dog park if your fur baby would like to run "free". If your doggy loves car rides and/or hiking, I will be more than happy to take them along with me on trips to Chestnut Ridge Park where we can do both!
