I have known Ericka for around 5 years and her parents house was always filled with 3+ dogs and one cat which were all really well taken care of by her parents, her sister, and herself. Ericka has had a lot of dogs and other animals over her life and they have always been healthy and loved. They were always taken to the vet when needed, were bathed once a week or every other week, and were walked and played with everyday. Ericka's family taught her how to take care of animals as she was growing up so by the time she was around 16 (when I met her), the proper treatment of animals was ingrained in her mind. When we were in high school together, my family and I went to New York over the summer for two weeks and Ericka stayed at our house during those two weeks and watched our two dogs. She gave them their necessary pills, she made sure they were fed, and she walked them twice a day because that is what we asked of her. She is a very caring, organized, and loyal girl! I would highly recommend her
