About: Hi, I’m Erica — your pet’s new best friend! 🐾 I’m a certified dog trainer and a lifelong animal rescuer. I used to run a dog kennel and training company in Houston, and now I’m excited to provide top-notch care in Ogemaw County. My home is filled with four rescue dogs, including a German Shepherd who’s a certified service dog. I live on 6 acres of open space, with a large fenced area (about 120 x 100 ft) that your pets can access 24/7 through a doggy door — so they can roam, play, and be happy while staying safe. Because I work from home, your pet will get plenty of supervision, love, and human interaction all day long. Whether your pup needs walks, training (basic or advanced), medication, or just a cozy cuddle, I provide it all with love, patience, and attention to detail. I can’t wait to meet your furry friend and help them thrive! 🐶💛 **I also make homemade, healthy dog meals — from hearty meatloaf and stews to tasty treats. I am a chef on the side, so I avoid processed food and cook fresh weekly. A batch of seven meals is $30. I work from home, so you never have to worry about your babies being home alone for a long period of time. My backyard is accessible for the pups all morning and afternoon and I have a dog pool and sprinkler system for them in the back when its too hot. The only time I use crates is when I feed, but other than that dogs are dogs here! 3 out of 4 of my pups are fully trained. My smallest one is not. I found her in the middle of the highway, near death, and miraculously she somewhat recovered. Her tail is forever broken, and 2 out of the 6 broken hip/pelvis bones will never heal correctly. I will also never train her. She will live the rest of her life - her way. She’s been so abused by humans that she’s a firecracker tbh, but she lovessss dogs her size. Humans are not her thing though. Safety will always be my #1 priority. So I have a routine for everything — meet and greets, staying the night, even how my dogs enter a door. Because of these structures, I’ve never had a single dog fight. I really take pride in making sure my home is an oasis — a peaceful, safe, and happy place where every dog can truly be themselves.
About: I have always had a love for animals and have three pups of my own. I am a stay at home mom and watch everyone’s dogs (and kids). We love going for walks and running around in the backyard! I am a stay at home mom so taking care of dogs would be my only job other than being a mom to my two children. We go for two walks a day and spend lots of time outside! In my home we have a fully fenced in yard for lots of running around and play time. When we are inside we have a doggie gate so that no dogs are running over the baby.
About: I’ve always had animals in my house growing up. Anything from fish and turtles, hamsters, and many cats and dogs! I will never live in a home without an animal. I’m available most days of the week to walk, groom, or even board them overnight. I will just need a day ahead to note it. My yard is un-fenced, but I live in a small neighbor hood that is not busy. I also go outside with my dog to go potty and play.
