About us
Erica, Founder & Owner
Erica, Founder & CEO
Erica founded Fur de Lis Pet Care, LLC in 2025 after returning to her hometown of Mandeville, Louisiana. A graduate of Louisiana Tech University with a bachelor’s degree in Animal Science, Erica has spent the last decade working in the veterinary field. Most recently, she studied veterinary medicine at LSU School of Veterinary Medicine. The idea for Fur de Lis Pet Care was inspired while caring for her own dog, Gumbo, during his recovery from knee surgery, when she realized how few professional pet sitting options exist that are truly equipped to care for pets with medical needs or those recovering from surgery. She founded Fur de Lis Pet Care to provide professional, veterinary-trained in-home pet care for families across the Northshore seeking a higher level of experience, attentiveness, and peace of mind while away from their pets, and hopes to continue growing her team to expand access to this much-needed service throughout the area.
Erica is CPR-certified through the RECOVER Initiative—the only CPR training program endorsed by the American College of Veterinary Emergency and Critical Care (ACVECC) and the Veterinary Emergency and Critical Care Society (VECCS). This certification is grounded in the latest veterinary research and updated guidelines, ensuring the most current and effective life-saving techniques. She is also a Fear Free certified professional, dedicated to creating a calm, low-stress experience for every pet she cares for.
