Does your dog like the beach?
Pet care experience
We are a family of Mom, 2 kids, 2 dogs, the occasional foster dog, and one cat. We live in a large 3-story house with fully fenced-in backyard by the beach in Winthrop, MA. We offer overnight boarding for your furry friend, with 2 group walks per day, meals and never ending entertainment. Mom is experienced with all kinds of dogs and all kinds of temperaments, having fostered over 20 dogs for a local rescue group over the past 4 years.
Reviews
My dog was very happy. The only thing is that she got hurt and it was bad.
Excellent care!! Stayed a long time and very thorough.
I couldn't recommend Ericka more. She was so flexible with pick ups and drop offs and was easy to contact while arranging plans. Her home is in a great location near the beach and my dog had the time of her life playing in the sand and swimming. Ericka sent pictures of my dog almost everyday which really helped me feel comfortable knowing my dog was happy. Ericka truly loves dogs and treats every dog as a member of the family. I will definitely use Ericka again to watch my dog.
Ericka is a kind and compassionate person, she is TRULY an animal lover and advocate. Ericka has been fostering shelter dogs for many years and has 2lovely dogs of her own which she adopted. I'm lucky enough to know Ericka and have seen the work she has done with animals. She has taken care of my own dog and sad to say he didn't want to leave her when I showed up to bring him home :). Very reliable, and will treat your furry family member like her own. highly recommend!!!

Why I love dog sitting I've loved dogs all my life. Grew up with German Shepherds and Rottweilers. My first dog as an adult was Crystal, a rescue from PAWS New England. I became very involved with the rescue and started fostering for them. Then came my foster failure, Georgia. She was terrified of humans and spent the first 3 months in my room - I had to carry her outside twice a day for you know what. Nowadays she is very playful and roams the entire house!

Information Ericka B. would like to know about your pet
I don't have any breed preferences. I would like to know the dog's energy level, house training status, does he need a crate, any medical needs, temperament around other dogs, kids and cats. All of this information to make sure the visit is a success.
A typical day
Here's where we'll take our walks The beach across the street, the neighborhood, the park on the hill. Your dog's sleeping arrangement Wherever he/she wants to. Time I'll spend with your dog 4-5 hours
