Safety, trust & environment

At my home, pets have plenty of space to play, explore, and relax. I have a decent house with a basement and a spacious yard, perfect for playtime, running around, or just enjoying the outdoors safely. I live in a quiet, safe neighborhood, which makes walks enjoyable and stress-free for dogs. Cats and smaller pets also feel comfortable and cozy in my home, with lots of attention, play, and love. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I’m responsible, reliable, and punctual. I make sure to arrive on time, respect your home and belongings, and always stay aware of my surroundings to keep your pets safe. I follow your instructions carefully and treat every home as if it were my own, making sure your pets feel happy, safe, and well-cared-for while you’re away.

Information Ericka S. would like to know about your pet

No preference in pet or breed, but i definitely would appreciate any important information you think I would need to know to make this a successful job for you, me, and your pet ! ᵕ̈

A typical day

I love to play or stimulate your pet in any way they need! I, myself, love being active so If your dog likes to run, count me in! But I’ll also do slow walks and carry your dogs home if that’s what it takes! I’ll also play with cats, or try to encourage them play and be active.

Pet care experience

Hi, I’m Ericka! Your pet’s new favorite person. I’ve had animals my entire life — dogs, cats, snakes, hamsters, iguanas… you name it, I’ve probably loved one. I’m truly pet friendly in every sense, and there isn’t an animal I’m afraid of or unwilling to care for. I’m naturally a very patient and loving person, and I treat every pet like they’re one of my own. Safety is huge for me — I’m always aware of my surroundings, making sure your pet feels comfortable, protected, and cared for at all times. I’m great with shy pets, energetic pets, and the silly troublemakers (I have two at home, so I get it!). Whether your fur baby needs playtime, slow cuddles, a structured walk, or just someone gentle and reliable to check in on them, I’ve got you. Looking forward to meeting your sweet pets and giving them all the love they deserve! 💕🐶🐱

Ericka was great: she won Percy over and maintained daily schedule and tasks and kept us regularly informed, going above and beyond when we forgot to replace the battery in the time-release feeder! First time with Rover and Ericka and it was such a relief to entrust our kitty to such good care, now that he's on twice a day thyroid pills. Thank you!

Ericka was amazing. She took great care of my two dogs and went above and beyond to help us on a holiday. Highly recommend her and look forward to working with her again!

Ericka has watched my dogs so many times and they seriously love her. I have a super hyper golden retriever and a tiny chihuahua with an attitude, and somehow Ericka gets both of them to relax. She sends me little updates and photos, and I never worry when they’re with her. She’s honestly one of the few people I trust with my pets they get excited every time they see her.

Ericka is a wonderful pet owner and babysitter. I’ve recruited her about three times to watch my old chihuahuas. Lately, she has been over to check up on and take care of my cat when I’m away. The older chihuahua had constant ear infections and Ericka never had an issue applying his ointment! She truly is a rock star and always goes above and beyond. Thank you Ericka for being a trooper!
