Your detail-oriented dog aunt 🐕
Pet care experience
Dogs make my day. Whether it's caring for them or seeing them in passing on the street, I squeal over their individual personalities and enjoy being their favorite aunt! Friends have relied on me numerous times to walk, feed, and even bathe their dogs of different breeds, sizes, and ages. Not to mention I grew up with my family's high-energy Jack Russell Terrier. My partner and I also adopted our sweet Lhasa Also/Shih Tzu Mix named Gizmo in 2021, when he was allegedly 10 years old, and we absolutely adore him.
Reviews
Erica was wonderful! She took so much care and was so detail oriented – sent me updates super often and checked in throughout the booking!
Erica was awesome! 5 Star Service! Very good communication and attention to detail. Erica will follow all your instructions. Baxter loved her and it was only the first time they met! Looking forward to using her services again! Thank you Erica, from me and Baxter!
Betty took to Erica instantaneously. Then she went straight to her dog bed and took a long nap. That’s how comfortable she was with Erica! She’s detail oriented, and has relaxed energy, which translates to a relaxed Betty. I will no doubt reach out to her again.
Erica is the best! She’s so kind and responsive and takes such good care of our two dogs.

Prior to their first walk with me I strongly encourage meet and greets with all my doggo friends, so I can introduce myself to your dog properly and you can show me exactly how you want your dog cared for. This is also a great time to show me any games your dog loves to play, any favorite tickle spots, or in general any quirks your dog may have. I love meeting owners and their dogs and learning from their bond! Plus, feel free to schedule the meet and greet with Nick as well, in case you'd like the option of inquiring about two walker's future availability through one account. I also only care for one dog at a time, so they have my full attention.
Information Erica W. would like to know about your pet
-Any of your dog's strong likes and dislikes (ie. my dog is very food motivated but does NOT appreciate having his front paws grabbed) -How your dog reacts to other animals (ie. Other dogs, stray cats, squirrels, skunks, etc) -Any pertinent medical history -How to handle your dog if they don't like certain weather -If your dog tends to eat things off the street -If there is any training you'd like me to practice or reinforce while with your dog
A typical day
I love taking my dogs on long walks around their neighborhood, but if for some reason the walk is shorter (you have a senior or injured dog, it's too hot outside, or too rainy, etc.) I enjoy playing and cuddling with dogs and giving long pet sessions at home. I mean, is there a better way to spend one's time?!

Availability
My work schedule is different month-to-month so please feel free to reach out for any specific availability. :) If I'm unavailable, you can also book with my partner, Nick, through my account (see pictures). Often covering for me with owner knowledge, he used to be a Wag walker and had a big dog of his own before we got our Gizmo together.
