I've known Ericka for several years, and she has taken care of my dog many times. I've also witnessed Ericka's loving relationship with her dog for years. She did an excellent job training her dog, Barrow, who is incredibly well behaved and happy. Ericka dedicates a lot of time to spend with the dogs, playing, training, and exercising them. She's very loving but is also firm with them in the right way - she sticks to your rules. My dog is not allowed to sleep in the bed or have any table scraps, and I can always trust ericka to respect our rules. I never have to worry about my dog coming home untrained, misbehaved, or neglected. Ericka is flexible, reliable, trustworthy, and just generally a good person. I can't recommend her more!
