Super flexible and friendly!
Pet care experience
Hi there! I've grown up with a variety of pets, including a dog (see energetic Dalmatian), cat, birds, lizards, turtles, fish, and all sorts of rodents. Currently I own a 3 year old German Shepherd mix, Cooper, who is very friendly and calm (not an Alpha dog at all). He has the occasional allergic skin rash (grass, of all things) and is currently on daily meds for seizures, so I also am experienced in administering oral meds (solid and liquid). I live in an apartment where he (and other pets) has the freedom to roam. I work from home and set my own schedule, so walks and drop-ins can occur almost any time in the day. Walks can be simple and however many blocks, otherwise I have frequented the SLU dog park and Forest Park for more open play and exercise. I can also run with a dog if they have that much energy (typically 2-3 miles)! I own a car and a bike, so drop-ins are flexible as well. As long as we communicate and you set clear instructions, it'll be a great experience for all involved! Useful information to provide includes: any allergies/medical needs, dietary restrictions (especially for treats), behavior towards strangers and other dogs, any 'quirks.'
Reviews
Ericka was so great with our 2 month old puppy and her sister who we are fostering. We scheduled her for a drop in visit and she
Great communication including informative updates with photos.. My cat was well cared for. Will definitely book again!
Ericka is a fantastic dog caregiver. Her dog, Cooper, is incredibly friendly towards people, children, and other dogs, and is well trained. He is given medicine twice daily for epilepsy, and has been seizure free for months. Ericka frequently watches and walks friends' dogs, from a short walk to multiple overnight stays. She'll often take them to Forest Park or the SLU dog park as well which they love. Highly recommend!
Ericka is great with any and every dog she comes across. She's patient yet firm when she needs to be, and loves to have fun with every pup. Whether your dog is an energetic ball of fire or a sweet slobbery couch potato, they'll love having Ericka around to take care of them!
