Providing structured group hikes, and dog training in the Southern Berkshires, MA.
Hi, I’m Erica, founder of Southern Berkshire Dog Camp. I don’t just take dogs for a hike, I get to know them like family. Over time, I learn their quirks, their favorite spots to sniff, the games they love, and what helps them feel safe. My work is about giving dogs a balanced lifestyle — structured play, relaxation, and social learning — while building relationships that last a lifetime.
Southern Berkshire Pet Sitting does not currently offer boarding or overnight care.

"Erica is an expert on all things dog! She has been taking our two dogs (a German Shepherd and a pitbull mix) for hikes multiple times a week for over 2 years. The pack hikes provide our dogs with structured socialization, plenty of exercise and positive training opportunities. She knows our dogs’ personalities inside and out and makes sure that all the dogs on any given hike get along well together.
She’s very reliable and an excellent communicator regarding scheduling and any issues that may come up about our pups. And we love getting pictures and updates after each hike! Erica works hard to keep all of the dogs in her care safe and happy. If you are looking for pack hikes for your dog, we couldn’t recommend Erica more."

"My dog was a rescue. I was her 2nd home at 2.5 years old. She was anxious, defensive, had separation anxiety, and was not sure how to be with other dogs..,but she LOvES hiking. Over the course of the past 3+ years, Erica first bonded 1:1 with my girl in daily walks/hikes. Then introduced her to another dog, then another, my dog now hikes in a pack of 6-8 daily! Erica sends photos and all dogs are literally smiling! When I come home, I wish my girl could tell me about her amazing day with her friends, doing what she loves, with her beloved and trusted guide, Erica. Since Erica, my dog is a different girl, Less anxious, and more socialized and confident. Now when I walk her, I never have to worry about her encountering other dogs. She handles it really well. Like a pro! She is one happy and lucky girl! I could not recommend Erica more. Life changer! ❤️"

"This was our first time having Erica watch our two kitties and she has raised the bar ten fold! She sends daily photos and updates, plays with them, pets them, gets the specific details of feeds, schedules, etc. correctly, and left a cute daily log of her visits to come home to. She is very professional and let us know of any problems as well. She is the best cat sitter I've ever had and I can't recommend her enough! "
