About Erica

Experience: 10 yrs

Over 18 years of dedicated animal care has shaped my approach to ensuring your pets feel safe, happy, and right at home. I treat every animal as if they were my own, prioritizing a consistent routine and a stimulating environment. Whether I am administering medicine, keeping your cat stress free in their environment , walking your small dog, or simply stopping by to check on your pet, I remain vigilant, punctual, and deeply empathetic to your pet's unique needs. I have extensive experience with small dogs and cats of all ages. Should an unexpected situation arise, I stay calm, follow our pre-discussed emergency plan, and communicate with you immediately. I truly love witnessing the unique quirks of every animal I meet. Providing you with complete peace of mind while your beloved companion is in my care is my greatest priority.

Erica watched our cat for a week while we were traveling abroad, and I truly cannot say enough wonderful things about her! From the moment we met, it was clear that she has a genuine love for cats and a deep understanding of their personalities, routines, and needs. She immediately put us at ease with her warmth, kindness, and thoughtful attention to our cat’s well-being. Erica went above and beyond to make sure our cat felt happy, loved, and completely cared for while we were away! She played with her, snuggled with her, gave her extra treats, and spent generous time keeping her company because she knew just how much our cat loves (and needs) attention. She even stayed extra hours and slept over simply because she understood what would make our cat feel most comfortable and secure. Throughout the week, Erica was incredibly communicative, sending frequent updates, photos and videos that gave us much peace of mind. She was also respectful of our home, kept everything clean and tidy, kindly watered our plants and even helped us avoid an ant infestation! Her care was not only reliable and professional, but also deeply personal and heartfelt. Any cat parent would be lucky to have Erica care for their beloved pet. She is knowledgeable, loving, attentive, and truly has a beautiful heart for animals. We are super grateful for the care she poured into our cat and would highly recommend her services to anyone looking for someone trustworthy who will treat their pet like her own fur baby. Thank you for everything Erica!!
