18 years caring for dogs

Pet care experience

I have spent the last 18 years of my life caring for dogs. It was my high school graduation project and has been my passion ever since. I have rescued abused and neglected animals and nursed them back to health until a loving forever home was found. In 2012 I joined a large rescue group where I learned so incredibly much about large breeds. In 2016, along with 2 friends, founded East Coast Canine Rescue. This journey has taken me to learn about dog behavior from some of the tristate's leading dog trainers and behaviorists. I have basic canine first aid training, CPR training, and basic obedience training: sit, stay, paw, crate-training, housebreaking, leash training, etc Dogs are family and a true passion of mine. Your furkid will not be in better hands

Erika is beyond loving of dogs. She literally will do anything for them. She know how to train them, rescue them as she is a co founder of ECCR. She is the best. Willing to go above and beyond and help any dog in need. Also we know the importance of dog sitting and walking and having someone you trust well she is the person I trust before anyone. I'm attaching a few of the sogs she has saved and help train or walk on my behalf.

Erika will take better care of your dog than you do! Caring for your pet is her priority. Beyond responsible! I’ve known her for years and she’s gone to the moon and back for dogs

Erika's love and compassion for dogs and animals is beyond words. She is a mommy to 3 of her own, but has opened her home to so many more. Fostering them until she knew these dogs would be placed in loving homes. She has made a connection with each dog and their new parents; enough to the point where she will randomly share a picture of the dog as the families continue to involve her in their lives. Erika's experience with running her own rescue to fostering has allowed her to gain a wealth of knowledge about dogs. I would trust her blindly with my own. I can't recommend her enough!

Erika is the definition of a dog person. Whenever I have any dog related questions she’s the first person I call because she’s just exploding with knowledge. I garentee after a week of walking your dog you’ll see a massive inrpvonent on leash.
