Pet care experience

Pawsitively passionate

Hello and welcome! My name is Erika. I have a 3 year old who loves dogs and has wonderful dog manners. I am a SAHM and looking to get my dog fix! I love loving on and catering to your animal(s)! Long walks and vigorous play time are a critical role in my canine care routine. As always I pride myself in having the utmost respect of your already set routine with your loved one, and try to make the time spent with your animal flawless!

She made me feel so comfortable dropping off my puppy, to someone other than family. She updated me so much and sent so many photos and videos !! I would definitely recommend her for any needs !!

Dogs temperament and food manners would be some of the important things I would need to know before allowing your pet to stay with me, just so I know how to handle feeding times and distance. Is your dog a jumper? A puller? A spotter? Can I trust off leash walks or are we strictly on leash types? Can I pet certain parts of the body or is there off limit areas? Anything little quirk you could think of would be appreciated to know, not to deter me but to better equip me with the correct knowledge on how to better care for your pet.
