Dedicated to Wag-worthy Experiences

Pet care experience

To say I’m an animal lover would be an understatement. Growing up, I raised dogs, cats, birds, turtles, frogs, fish, and a rabbit. In my spare time, I enjoy making pet accessories, collars, necklaces, toys, and treats. Currently, I have 4 spoiled pups with BIG, expressive (and sometimes, stubborn) personalities. ☺️ And, if I could, I’d have even more! To that end, I will care for your pet as if it were my own. Your pets will have my undivided attention when I’m with them - because they deserve it.

We loved working with Jerica! Her delightful daily notes about our pups made us feel at ease when on vacation! Will definitely be booking her again!

Jerica is the ultimate dog lover and dog mom. I have known Jerica for almost 5 years as she was my neighbor. I saw first hand, on a daily basis, how much she adores her dogs and the wonderful life she provides for them. While she loves pampering her own pups, her love and adoration extends to all dog friends she meets. You can trust that any dog in Jerica’s care will be safe, loved, spoiled.

Safety, trust & environment

Neighborhood sidewalks or nature trails, it just depends on what’s available in the area. We can go for a leisurely stroll or step it out a bit for more exercise. Looking for something more than walks - mental and physical enrichment is always an option to try out - puzzles, playtime, games, sensory work, and anything else I discover and have thoroughly tested on my pets first (gotta make sure it’s safe and fun ☺️). I also have access to an awesome dog park.
