Dog Walking...Good for Life.

Pet care experience

My childhood dog was an amazing girl and taught me much of what I know about loving dogs. After finishing my undergraduate degree I adopted two rescues and my life was changed forever. These two grew up healthy and happy and into elderly dogs that eventually required daily medications so I am comfortable administering medication. I now have two active young pups that play and run and bring so much life into the world. I enjoy taking long walks, running on trails or the city streets, or visiting any of the dog parks (with your permission of course). I have a flexible schedule and can be attentive to your needs - last minute or scheduled out. I am currently looking for regular drop-in and walking clients.

This is our third time having Ericka watch our pup and keep an eye on our house and definitely will not be the last. Our little guy is always happy to see her and cuddles right up with her. Our home is always left in great shape. Thank you again Ericka for taking such good care of everything and for all of the communication during our time out of town!

Another great stay with Ericka. Our pup clearly loves getting to spend time with her and we’re so glad to see how relaxed he is when we get home.

We are so glad we met Ericka - our pup had a wonderful weeklong stay with her at our house that let us fully relax on our vacation knowing she was there. The communication was wonderful and daily photos affirmed he was his normal self (aka lounging upside down or leaning awkwardly against chair legs to nap in precarious positions). Ericka was very thorough and thoughtful in asking questions to best understand Darby’s needs and mannerisms and it was clear that she legitimately cared about him. Darby got numerous walks each day and even some adventures to local parks (Ericka checked in before to make sure this would be okay). Our house also looked spotless upon our return. We will without question seek out Ericka again.

Ericka did a great job with my senior pup. I had to travel out of town for a wedding and normally I would take Ella along with for the adventure. However, as she has gotten older my dog has slowed down a bit and prefers the comfort of her own home. Ericka stayed with her and made sure that she got lots of long...slow walks, treats, an assortment of meds, and just general companionship to make her feel safe and secure. I would not hesitate to recommend Erika and if/when I travel again and Ella needs a sitter she would be the first person I would call.
