Transforming pets, enhancing lives.

Hey there! šŸ‘‹

ā€

Welcome to my corner of the internet ā€“ itā€™s so nice that you are here! I'm Erica, originally from Italy but proudly calling Amsterdam home since 2010. After years in the tech world, I decided to shift gears towards something I'm truly passionate about: pets and their humans!

ā€

I am a certified Consulente della Relazione FelinaĀ® (that's fancy Italian for "Cat Relationship Consultant") from Istituto di formazione zooantropologica SIUA and a certified Hondenspecialist (that's Dutch for "Dog Specialist") from Opleiding Hondenspecialist.

ā€

Animals hold a special place in my heart, and my goal is to make their lives ā€“ and the lives of their human companions ā€“ as awesome as possible. Iā€™d be so glad to help you & your furry friends! šŸ¾

Consultations are currently possible in:

Cosmo was waking us up every morning at 4. Ericaā€™s thoughtful approach and understanding of Cosmo's behavior have really changed the way we see and understand our cat. The adjustments Erica suggested were both manageable and impactful, allowing us to enjoy a much-improved relationship with our beloved fluffy friend :)

Alba used to be a "serial leash puller". With a baby on the way, we decided we needed some help. After implementing Erica's suggestions, we noticed a significant improvement in our dog's behavior. Her guidance was clear, practical, and made a world of difference for us.

Erica set me up for success as a first time kitty owner! She gave me specific advice on how to set up my home to welcome the new family member, explained what works and why, from food choices, organising the space, how to choose a litter box, anticipating any other need the kitty might have. She also gave great advice on how to manage the interactions between my kids and our kitty. Amazing!
