Experienced rescue founder

Almost a lifetime of experience working with and training the best of the best and the challenging as well. Worked extensively with brachycephalys breeds in my bulldog rescue. I have also been fortunate to own and work closely with "pit bull" breeds as well. I have a connection with animals that can be seen almost immediately and love to work and share with them. I have an extensive network of friends and professionals from my years of volunteering and rely on them for any information I may not have. My schedule is flexible and I am looking forward to getting to know you and your pet as well as working together in a relationship as we build solid foundation of trust & openness. Thank you

Ericka did an amazing job taking care of my dogs and made sure they were comfortable, especially my reactive dog. I’ve never had someone show such genuine care, consideration, and kindness. I truly appreciate everything she did, and I couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter. Highly recommended!

Ericka has house sat for us a few times now and always does a great job! She gets along very well with our dog and takes great care of him.

House Sitting • Sep 05, 2024

We have hired Erika multiple times. She seemed to care and know a lot about dogs. However, this time we had new security cameras. She was not there all day, even though that is what we paid for. She left super early, even though my elderly dog needs to be taken out at around 8. The dogs, being left alone all day, peed all over the house. She came back at night. The most concerning thing was having a man come every night with her. He smoked on our patio. We are a non-smoking household. She also had another unauthorized individual with her on another day. I’m really disappointed and this put us in a very difficult position. We had to choose to either come home and not have her sit, (we were out of state for a week), or just hope no one was doing anything criminal. She could have asked to have guests, but she did not. So between not being there at the requested times during the day and having guests stay over night with her, I’m sickened. This is not what I paid for.
