I have a Boston Terrier of my own name Jax – love him so much !! I understand the importance of trusting someone to care for your "fur baby". I couldn't imagine my life without Jax. He brings so much joy and happiness to my life. Seeing his little faces everyday just puts a smile on my face! I will walk and care for you pet as if they are my own. I am trustworthy, reliable and always punctual so if you need someone to a walk your dog while you are at work, working late, venturing on a night on the town or just need someone to check in on them and play I am your girl. I will send pictures and videos to let you know they are in good hands.

Information Ericka J. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has special needs or anything else you think I should know about them. Let me know if they need treats to walk for a long time or if they love to sniff everything.

A typical day

I will take your fur baby to the park to play or go on a long walk. I no will run with them if they have the energy.

Pet care experience

I love animals! I have always had pets growing up as a child and my love for them has grown into my adulthood even more. I have a passion for learning and understanding all different types of animals. My experience in pet care is from having my own pets and caring for family, friends and volunteering over the years.

Ericka is fantastic! I had peace of mind while I was away knowing she was taking care of my shy cat.

This is my second time asking Ericka to pet sit for us & she went above and beyond regarding the communication required to successfully pick up our key. After our coordinating was complete, my cat Quesita’s needs were met and I was able to have a lot of peace of mind knowing that she was being properly looked after. I would highly recommend Ericka for anyone seeking a responsible, responsive, and flexible pet-sitter!

Ericka helped us while we were on vacation by checking on our cat, making sure she had fresh food/water and a clean litter box. She sent us pictures of our kitty and gave us updates at every check-in. Would definitely recommend her!
