Dependable and experienced sitter!
Pet care experience
Finding a pet sitter/walker is a big decision, and I take that responsibility to the fullest! I have been a dog/ cat sitter for the past 15 years and have a genuine love for it! I am dependable and trustworthy and treat animals with all the respect and love they deserve. As a true animal lover, your pets will be in great hands. I’m truly looking forward to meeting you and your fur-babies! :) With my current schedule, I can happily fit animal care into my day to day. Please reach out with the details/info and we can confirm dates and preferred times. Safety is my number one priority when sitting/walking and I treat EVERY animal as if they were my own. Some common precautions: clean environment, making sure nothing is out of the norm on the ground, choking hazards are stored away properly, no food is accessible on counters etc., no access to toxic foods (onions, chocolate, grapes, peanut butter with xylitol etc.) or other toxic items such as medications, access to water (and dog food if requested by owner), secured leash/collar/harness when walking outside, collar off if in their crate, any specific notes from owner written out, and lots of love!
Reviews
Ericka is the best!! Super thorough and my cats love her (even the grumpy angsty one)
She was so nice and caring for our beautiful kitty. My cat is so shy but she warmed up to Ericka so quickly! I can’t recommend her enough!
Our bengal cat Tommy absolutely loved Ericka! She sent great pictures and updates, sharing that he was fed, watered, cleaned, and socializing. She communicated with us immediately for any questions, and we appreciated her help while we were out of town. We highly recommend Ericka and will book with her again in the future.
Ericka was great! She was very attentive and thorough taking care of my cats and the grumpy one was even going to her for pets by the last day (it’s been 9 months and he still won’t go to my roommate for pets).

Information Ericka U. would like to know about your pet
Any allergies, special accommodations they need, important medical history, unique quirks, how they interact with other dogs/people/and kids, if you allow other people to pet them if we’re on a walk, other notes you think would be helpful, etc.
A typical day
There’s nothing better than playing with a cute dog! I also find it important to mentally stimulating them. One fun game that has been a hit is hiding a couple treats in a towel and letting dogs sniff them out! I also let dogs sniff on walks. I’m looking forward to taking your dog for a relaxing stroll around beacon hill, the esplanade, the beautiful public gardens, and/or the common.
