Pet care experience

Ready to help!

I have cared for dogs and cats since I was eight years old, and learned how to train dogs as a teenager. I grew up on a horse farm with multiple dogs and cats, which taught me the skills needed to care for animals. I regularly house sit for family, friends, and neighbors and now I'm expanding into my own business.

I live in a house with a fenced-in backyard. I have two dogs and two cats, though they will stay upstairs while guest pets will stay downstairs. I can house sit at your home or take your dogs for walks around your neighborhood.

Dog Walking • Jun 30, 2025

We are so grateful for Erica and the amazing care she gave our pets while we were away! We have an elderly dog and two cats and Erica went above and beyond to make sure everyone was happy, healthy, and loved. She was super communicative, sending us daily updates and photos to keep us in the loop. Our senior dog can be a little slow and needs occasional assistance, but Erica was very patient and intentional with him. She also handled medical routines effectively. Erica really cares and treated our pets very well. We wouldn’t hesitate to book her again.

Dog Walking • Jun 27, 2025

Erica is amazing! I can't say enough about her. She goes above and beyond to take great care of my pups. She has become my regular sitter on the days I work. She sends photos and updates and asks important questions to ensure the pups are taken care of. She is great with big dogs that tend to many people because of their size and deep voices/bark. I have 2 GSDs, one who is the size of a small pony, weighing >100 lbs. She takes both of them on walks confidently and has become one of their cherished people. Her hubby was a dog trainer, and she has been working with them to stop pulling. I work long shifts, so she comes and gives lots of love and attention while I am gone. She has impressed me as she is mindful of the heat, their paws on the pavement, and the fact their coats are thick and black. She makes a point to come early in the day (before she is scheduled to be there) to take them for a walk before it gets too hot. My youngest is terrified of thunderstorms. Erica makes a point to check the weather daily to schedule herself to be there with her while it is storming, even when it is outside of her normal hours. I have had both positive and negative experiences with dog sitters on Rover. I will say that Erica is one of the great ones!! Stop your search here and book with her. You won't regret it.

Erica was timely and professional. She went above and beyond communicating with me during her drop-in visit and all of my kitties warmed up to her immediately. She made sure all of their needs were met and that everyone got pets. I would absolutely trust my cats with her any time.

I have known Erica for my entire life and I don't think there isn't an animal she hasn't taken care of. There have been dogs, cats, horses, ducks, hamsters, llamas, turkeys, cows, etc. She handles all of them with the upmost care (even the turkey that was a little incensed about her owners leaving for vacation). Also, I'm pretty sure she speaks dog - every dog just listens to her and respects her like Cesar Milan. Additionally, she understands when the 3-second timer is up for cats before they change their mind and scratch her. She's extremely easy to work with, always reliable, and a great resource for you and your fur babies (or feathered, scaled, etc). She has always helped me out in a pinch and I am always thankful to her.
