About Erica
Hi, I'm Erica and a 4th year vet student. I have had family pets since I was 5yo. I currently have no pets due to uni commitments. I did an internship in South Africa at a rehab for wild animals and cared for hedgehogs, squirrels, banded mongoose, white tailed mongoose, warthogs and a range of birds.

I have experience in pet sitting for cats, dogs, birds and fish from calling in and checking on pets to staying for up to 2 months. I started pet sitting for coworkers before relocating to Townsville where I have joined Mad Paws plus I have multiple private clients from word of mouth.

I am happy and confident to give any medication. I have groomed our family dog for about 10 years. I am not a professional groomer but if you are needing your pets coat short to cope with the heat or nails trimmed, I am happy to help out. Dog walking will occur around your house and I will select a route in regards with your dogs needs. Walking will never occur in the heat of the day when the concreate is too hot for your babies paws.

Guarantees – Updates as much as possible on your fur babies as I know how anxious it can be leaving pets behind. I am a shocking photographer and pets don’t understand they have to be still and looking at the camera for a good pic so will try my hardest to get a snap or two (I promise the blurry splodge is your beloved family member haha).

Before making contact, please ensure your pets profile is completed from basics to home life. This will delay any meet and greets and your booking being accepted.

DURING CYCLONE SEASON - PLEASE HAVE AN EMERGENCY EVACUATION PLAN AND KIT READY FOR YOUR ANIMALS INCASE WE ARE ORDERED TO EVACUATE. PLEASE NOTE IN QLD NO ANIMALS ARE ALLOWED AT THE EVACUATION CENTRE.

Notes on my fees and services:
House visits are a maximum of 1 hour per day. If you are requiring longer than 1 hours, please select day care as your booking enquiry.
Overnight and day sitting rate is a base rate for all pets. If you are needing a daily walk for your pet, please select this at the time of booking or I can add it on after our meet and greet. If your dog is less than 12 months old and/or not house trained and an inside dog please note that day care/night sit cost will be doubled and added to the booking prior to approval.
No services are offered at my place due to being in a rental not approved for pet plus my yard is not secure.
I am happy to discuss fees and services at our meet and greet.

Erica was absolutely one of the best experiences I have had with my two girls being looked after in my absence. From the meet and greet to the communication and updates during her stay. Would not hesitate to both recommend Erica or use her in the future!
