Erica grew up in a home filled with animals of all types including dogs, cats, mice, birds. snakes and even a chinchilla! She currently resides with her teenage son and their faithful companion, Mr. Peanut Butter, affectionately known as "Mr". They rescued him off the streets of Oklahoma City. People always ask if Mr. loves peanut butter but surprisingly, his preferred treat is sweet potato (although the name "Mr. Sweet Potato" doesn't have quite the same charm!).

Erica is a personal trainer and group fitness instructor. Nine years ago, she left her corporate job and started dog walking and sitting, while also advancing her career in fitness. Erica loves the outdoors, especially hiking, and also enjoys performing in community theater. Last year she completed a hike along the Appalachian Trail from Georgia to Maine and upon her return, she enrolled in school to study musical theatre. Erica relishes being outdoors and cherishes cozy cuddles with furry friends. She is merging her love for animals with her commitment to helping others.
