Pet care experience
Dog lover saving up for grad school
*Currently nearing the end of earning a dog training certification. Feel-free to message me/book a walk or drop-in to discuss more:)* I specialize in high-energy dogs of any age, and quick to adapt to the dog in front of me. I am fear-free certified and a former volunteer trainer for 4 Paws for Ability where I am tasked with handling, training, and caring for a service dog in training. While I don’t have formal training credentials, I have experience and specialize in the following behaviors: - Reactivity - Nervousness/Fear - Vocalizations - Pulling - Engagement and Settling I would be happy to offer my services in the form of a dog walk or a drop-in visit!
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I can easily crate, lift, and control dogs of all sizes. I have also taken many courses related to dog behavior, handling, and training which has helped me work with a variety of breeds and ages successfully.
Ratings and reviews
Erika was great. Sent me lots of pictures of my pup out on a walk and made sure she had water when they got back.
We’ve used Ericka twice now and have had a great experience both times. She is reliable, communicative, and does an excellent job following our dog’s routine, including his meals, walks, and insulin injections. We feel completely comfortable knowing our dog is in her care and will absolutely continue using her!
Ericka was so great! I requested her very last minute and she was so accommodating! My babies were so happy to see her!
Ericka was really easy to communicate and schedule with! Was very sweet with Obi and I’m excited to have her walk him weekly!
Ericka was great with my young, energetic dog! My dog loved meeting her during our meet and greet and you can just tell Ericka is caring and treats your dog as her own. I will definitely be booking with her again!
Ericka was great on the first walk with my crazy but loving big boy Zander! She listened to instructions and kept me up to date! We appreciate her professionalism and experience with dogs of all sizes :)
