Information Erika T. would like to know about your pet

Let me know of any special needs or behaviours your dog has in advance so I can be prepared to accommodate them. It’s important to me that your dog is cat friendly

A typical day

After breakfast we go for a neighborhood walk. Following the walk, it’s nap time. At lunch we go for another walk to the park and play fetch or meet some other dogs and people. Then it’s time for another nap. Before dinner, we play in the yard or if it’s a hot summer day go for a swim.

Pet care experience

My goal for your dog while they are staying is for her to feel safe and comfortable. I am able to work with the routine your dog currently has and hopefully make her stay with me feel comfortable but also like a vacation. I’ve had my own dogs for over 15 years and understand how unique and special each one is. I’ve cared for senior dogs and most recently a puppy.

Erica did great with my shy boy. He had lots of walks and was a happy boy. I would definitely recommend

Erika was AWESOME!! My dog Stewart enjoyed his stay there. She took him on daily walks with her other dogs...lots of playtime and exercise! Erika kept me up to date on how Stewart was doing and provided a safe and quiet spot for him to rest and sleep. I highly recommend Erika and will definitely book again in the future!!

Erika took great care of our 6 month old puppy. She sent pictures and updates that gave me comfort knowing he was ok on his first night away from home.

I really appreciated the fast a clear communication and all the photos. MB was exhausted when I picked him up so he must of played his little heart out. Thank you for the great experience and caring for my boy.
