Let me know if your dog has an special needs, medications, behaviors, or preferences. Knowing times that they eat, their favorite toys, what works for controlling them when certain erratic behaviors arise is all important information.

I love to go on walks with the dogs and get some good exercise in for the both of us! If they like to play fetch, I also in enjoy taking dogs to fenced in areas to let them run freely and sniff around.

Pet care experience

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!

I can’t say enough good things about Ericka! She is among the most caring, educated, and thorough sitters I know. Her ability to understand pet body language is remarkable — she notices even the most minor details and knows precisely what a pet needs to feel safe and happy. Ericka is incredibly consistent and reliable, and I’ve never once had to worry when she’s looking after my dog. She treats every animal as if they were her own, and her calm, attentive nature has made her the only person I fully trust to care for my pup. If you’re looking for someone knowledgeable and compassionate, I can promise you that Ericka is the best.
