🐾I work from home and pet care fits into my daily routine with morning and evening feeding, walks, and playtime sessions to ensure my pets stay active and healthy. I also include midday check-ins and short play breaks for mental stimulation. Weekly, I set aside time for thorough grooming, deep cleaning pet areas, and conducting health checks. Additionally, I plan special activities like outings or playdates to keep my pets socially engaged and happy. 😊

Safety, trust & environment

🏠 In my home, I ensure a safe environment by pet-proofing spaces, removing hazardous items, and providing secure, comfortable areas for pets to rest. I maintain trust through consistent routines, gentle handling, and positive reinforcement during training and play. For client homes, I follow their specific instructions, maintain open communication, and treat their pets with the same care and respect as my own. I also ensure a clean and stress-free environment by cleaning up after activities and ensuring pets have access to fresh water and their favorite toys. Additionally, I have a well-trained, calm, and healthy dog and cat, which further contributes to a harmonious and reassuring environment for all pets.

A typical day

☀️A typical day kicks off with morning cuddles and breakfast. We'll venture out for energizing walks in the park, followed by lively play sessions with their favorite toys. Throughout the day, we might try new tricks or games to keep their minds sharp and tails wagging. Of course, there's always time for belly rubs, treats, and plenty of affection. Whether we're exploring new trails or lounging around watching pet-friendly movies, each day is an adventure tailored to ensure every furry friend has a tail-wagging good time!

Experienced, Loving Care for 🐶🐱

Pet care experience

💁‍♀️ Drop-in Visits • Dog Walking • Doggy Day Care • Overnight Sitting 🐱🐶 I’ve grown up with dogs and have 15+ years of experience caring for pets from many different families. I truly enjoy spending time with both cats and dogs—from relaxed companionship at home to fun, safe walks outdoors 🦮 I work from home, so pets receive plenty of attention and supervision throughout the day. I’m comfortable administering oral medications and injections and have experience with raw feeding, always following owner instructions carefully. I have a 8-year-old cat and an 4-year-old Cavapoo, both friendly and fully vaccinated 🐈🐕 🏡 Home & Outdoor Space • Pee pads always available • 5 pet-friendly sky gardens • Nearby parks, trails, and occasional dog park visits (with owner approval) 🐾 Health & Safety Pets must be up to date on vaccinations and parasite prevention. Please share any medical conditions, skin issues, or special care needs in advance. 🚫 Note As I live in an apartment, I’m unable to accept pets that bark excessively or continuously. This helps maintain a calm and comfortable environment for all pets. 🗣 Languages I speak English, Mandarin, and Cantonese, making communication easy and clear. I treat every pet like family and love sending photo and video updates so you can feel at ease while you’re away.🐾

Erica was super friendly and attentive to my dog. I recieved plenty of updates and pictures for their walk, and I can tell how much my dog enjoyed the walk and Erica's company!

Erica has been great with my dog over the past two weeks. She’s very patient, genuinely loves dogs, and took the time to get to know my dog before starting walks, which I really appreciated. She was always punctual, reliable, and easy to communicate with. If there were any schedule changes or updates, she would always let me know in advance. My dog was very comfortable with her, and it gave me a lot of peace of mind knowing he was in good hands while I was at work. I would definitely book with Erica again in the future!
