Pet care experience

Can't wait to meet you & your dog!

I have Pet Sitting Insurance, WFH, & accept only one furry friend at a time! For safety reasons, please do not book me if your dog is not leash trained. My name is Ericka and I got my first dog, Sadie, at 16. When I was 21, I got my own dog Frannie while in college. I have been pet sitting for friends and family the past five years and have experience caring for dogs with separation anxiety and senior dogs. I have experience with giving dogs eyedrops and pills via pill pockets. I can administer medication like these. I would need to know if your dog has any aggression towards receiving medication or if they like to sneakily spit pills out.

This was my dog’s second time staying with Ericka, and he came home as happy and relaxed as ever! Thank you for taking such good care of my little guy, Ericka! I think he misses you already.

Gracie had a great stay with Ericka. She texted us photos every day which we so appreciated! Gracie seemed comfortable and very happy. We will definitely book Ericka again!

Ericka was so friendly and sweet with my dog Duke! She asked great questions before the booking that made it clear she’s experienced with dogs and a proactive, thoughtful caregiver. Even more importantly, she asked if I had any questions about her, which really put my mind at ease and showed how professional and considerate she is. While I was away, she sent lots of photos and updates—Duke looked completely at home, especially curled up and relaxed on her couch. I know my dog well, and it was obvious from the photos that he felt safe, loved, and well cared for. I’d absolutely trust Ericka to watch Duke again and highly recommend her!

Ericka watched my spunky little guy Vinnie for the first time this week, and I will definitely be booking with her again! I could tell Vinnie immediately liked her, and he was SO relaxed and happy at pickup. Ericka sent tons of cute photos of Vinnie snuggled up that made my day. Thank you for taking such good care of him, Ericka! I think he misses you already. ☺️

We’ve used Ericka to keep our dog while on vacation several times. She is kind, responsive and professional. Our little guy loves staying with her. Knowing that he is safe, comfortable and well cared for makes it so much easier for us to relax and enjoy our time away. She is awesome.

Our dog Baxter loves Ericka. As a senior dog, sometimes he needs a little extra attention and she always takes good care of him. She keeps us updated on his activities, sends pictures of him being cute and helps us not worry about our sweet little old man dog while we’re away.

Safety, trust & environment

I live in a second floor apartment where there are stairs. If your dog is not crate trained that is okay - I work from home and your dog will be constantly supervised.

A typical day

I love walking and can take your dog for as many strolls around the block as they want! Whether they want to play or just take a nap, they will be constantly supervised. I typically wake up at 7:30 everyday and would immediately take the dog outside. I would feed your dog according to their schedule or if they free feed I am able to do that since I only board one pet at a time. (I won't eat their kibbles!)

I would like to know what your dog likes, their temperament, any triggers they may have, and what their routine is. I want to make your pet feel comfortable while you are gone and would like to know what activities and toys they enjoy the most. I would also like to know if there is anything that may trigger your dog (thunderstorms, new people, etc) or if there is anything to keep an eye out for!
