Safe Attentive Friendly Care

Pet care experience

I have had many furry family members over my lifetime. With almost 30 years in the pet industry, animals are my passion! I worked in boarding kennels as a teenager, before I began grooming. I was a grooming manager of a pet salon for 2 years before grooming in a private salon for many more years. I then started grooming and boarding from home. I enjoy being a home pet care professional and meeting so many different pets is AMAZING!! I have extensive experience with extremely anxious pups as well young puppies and seniors with special needs. I am currently a Stay at home mom with children in school so I have plenty of time to spoil your furry companion whenever you can't be there. In our family we have a golden retriever mix, Charlie, that's 9 years old and loves to play with balls! He's quite an extensive sniffer at the initial meeting but is pretty indifferent towards other pups after that unless they play pretty gently. Our yard is large and fully fenced, perfect for fetch and getting lots of play time with each other. There's not a lot traffic and it's a very quiet area. I only leave for short periods during the day so I have plenty of time to spend caring for pups. I prefer to have pick ups and drop offs by appointment. I love being someone to keep pups from being lonely when their favorite people can't be with them. Playing with and snuggling dogs for a living is about the best job there is!

This was our first visit for day care. Erika made drop off/pick up easy. Appreciated pictures midday and a quick update. Our puppy, who was a bit shy at drop off, seemed very happy at pickup! We’ll use Erika again.

Erika is phenomenal! She took great care of our two pups, especially on short notice, and was highly responsive and flexible. They can't wait to return for their next vacation!

Bella had not seen Erika in quite a while. But as soon as she saw Erika she was excited! She loves spending time with her!

Information Erika A. would like to know about your pet

Any information about your pups personality or needs is very helpful. What might make them anxious or upset? Where they usually sleep at night and how much they bark. Also anything that would make their stay generally more comfortable. Any behavior concerns that need special attention and care. Any anxiety coping tools used at home.

A typical day

I'm up for any activity or lack there of that your pup wants. Toys, fetch and chase in the yard is always fun or a nice long walk exploring the smells of everything that catches attention.
