Can't wait to meet you & your dog!
Pet care experience
I have Pet Sitting Insurance, WFH, & accept only one furry friend at a time! 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.
Reviews
Ericka was an awesome sitter! We would highly recommend her. Arlo is usually a pretty anxious guy, but he clearly felt comfortable and at home during his stay. Ericka sent lots of pictures and updates, and we will definitely utilize her services again.
Ericka is a great sitter. She took care of our dog Ringo for one week keeping us informed permanently about how he was doing and with funny pictures too. I will recommend her indeed.
Ericka did such an excellent job watching my nervous, super smart, intense little rescue dog. Within a day she was sending photos of him on his back asking for belly rubs -- something he would only do if he felt safe and trusted the person. I would highly recommend her!
Ericka was great! She was available for a last minute trip I had and saved me - she sent daily updates and photos and I am confident my dog and her had a great time. Would absolutely book again! :)

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.
Home
Information Ericka P. would like to know about your pet
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!
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!)
