Highlights
Pet care experience
They call me the animal whisperer!
I've got 23 years of veterinary technician experience as well as petsitting experience. I also worked for an organization that rescues Cocker Spaniels for 3 years. I was the manager and I took care of 25 dogs at a time as well as 2 horses, 2 goats, 2 pigs, 4 roosters, and a feral cat colony. I fed all the animals, cleaned their living quarters, picked up the yards, bathed as well as shave them if needed, nail trims, sanitary clips, administered medications of all types, did basic training with them, went to vet appointments if needed, laundry, and walked them. Being in the veterinary field has been a blessing for many clients whom have hired me to care for their furry babies because I am more attune at things many people may not notice. Clients are very grateful for that knowledge. I also water plants and clean houses and bring in mail for overnight stays.

Safety, trust & environment
I follow the instructions the client gives me no matter what. If they want the dog to wear a harness while.out for walks, then that's what I will do. If they don't want the dog left unattended outside even though they have a fenced in yard, then I'll stay out with them for as long as needed. I always do a parameter check to make sure there are no holes in the ground for the dog to have access to escape.
Ratings and reviews
Ericka was so kind and checked in every day to send us pics of the pets, also was kind enough to offer tips as she is an experienced vet tech! Really appreciated her ability to give our old cat multiple medications and deal with our very jumpy dog
Erika house sat and took care of our 2 dogs and 1 cat, she was wonderful and I think they still miss her.
Ericka was amazing! She was wonderful with our dog and had such great communication. We will definitely be using her again and highly recommend her.
I have known Ericka for 10 years. She is a compassionate, loving, caring person. She pays attention to detail to a T. I worked along side her at a veterinarians office and she did her job above and beyond. She cared for all types of animals which included cleaning, feeding, walking and medicating animals. She gives her full attention to the tasks at hand. Highly recommended!!!
To who it may concern: I have known Erica ro work over 23 years in vet tech, housesitting and pettsitting services. She has administered medications, given shots, place catheters, and done bloodworkdraws. At times she also take them ro the vet appointments. Erica is great cleaning houses and caring for their plants. Erica is very loving, caring, and great with animals. She had helped me wirh my dog.
Ericka was excellent with my dog, while doing an overnight stay for a couple days and nights. She watched him very closely and even discovered a medical issue that I hadn’t noticed, which was thankfully caught in time because of her!!! My dog loved her as well, so I will definitely be using her services again!!
