Highlights
Pet care experience
Can I pet your dog?
I am a lover of both cats and dogs. I have a lot of experience with additional needs even with my previous own pets, including an epileptic cat who requires pills twice a day, a senior dog with arthritis, allergies, and a sensitive tummy. I also have experience with high-anxiety/reactive pets or others who may have particular triggers that require extra care and attention. 🏳️🌈🏳️⚧️🇲🇽

Safety, trust & environment
While I can't care for pets in my own home, I'm happy to visit your home and provide simple and quick services like walks and feeding or more long-term companionship, staying to keep your pet company while you're away.
Ratings and reviews
Cannot recommend Erica enough! My dog warmed up to her so quick, and she can be shy with new people! Always gave updates and took amazing care of my dog :)
We love Erica! She's great with our babies and very sensitive to their needs. I'm very comfortable leaving my pets and my home in her care when we're out of town. She gives regular updates with photos. She has so much empathy and patience. My dog is not the most easygoing girl, but Erica is respectful of her boundaries and understanding about her (somewhat odd) behaviors. Book her, you'll be glad you did!
Erica was wonderful! She took amazing care of our dog and cat, giving them lots of love and attention just as we would. We really appreciated her thoughtful updates and pictures while we were away—it gave us such peace of mind. Our home was spotless when we returned, exactly as we left it. We’ll definitely be booking with Erica again!
Erica was fantastic. She kept in touch with us frequently with photos for an update on how our pets were doing. She even mentioned the neighborhood pets met on her frequent dog walks. That put our mind at ease while we were away on a 4 day trip. Erica took great care of our Poodle mix, Pepper and our cat Lily. We really appreciated the report card and welcome home by our happy relaxed pet family, when we returned home. It was very obvious that our pets enjoyed her! From her initial meet and greet before our trip to the farewell, our home was well cared for as well as our pets. We were so impressed by her care. We will definitely request to have Erica come back the next time.
We love Erica! So kind and competent, handled my two energetic pups and old man cat with ease. Will absolutely rebook!
Erica is the best! My babies were well-taken care of, and she was so intuitive and patient about my reactive dog's needs. We'll be going with her from now on 🥰
