About: I’m a proud dog mom to a 5-year-old Shiba Inu and have also cared for friends’ and neighbors’ dogs and cats over the years. As a pet owner myself, I completely understand the worry that comes with being away from your furry companion. That’s why I treat every pet in my care as if they were my own—with patience, love, and attention to detail. I'm responsive, reliable, and committed to making sure both you and your pet feel safe and comfortable. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate quality time to caring for your pet. I’m available for daytime check-ins and walks, and I can easily adjust to your pet’s routine and specific needs to help them feel comfortable and cared for. In your home, I’ll follow your pet’s routine closely—whether it’s feeding schedules, walk times, or play preferences—to keep things familiar and stress-free. I always treat your home with respect and maintain a clean, safe environment for your pet. You’ll receive regular updates with messages, photos, or videos, so you can feel confident knowing your pet is in good hands while you're away.

“Erin was great with my cat while I was away for the holidays. She played with her and sent photos and updates so I knew Ruby was in good hands!”


About: I used to take care of my mom’s dog while I lived with her, so I’m very comfortable with daily routines and giving pets the attention they need. Every morning, I’d take him to the park for playtime and a 30-minute walk, and I always made sure he was fed on time. He was scared of the groomer, so I learned how to brush and bathe him at home to keep him clean and comfortable. That experience taught me how to be patient and gentle, especially with pets that are a little nervous. I treat every pet like they’re my own and really try to make sure they feel safe, happy, and loved. I’m doing Rover full time right now, so pet care is a big part of my everyday life. My schedule is built around the pets I’m caring for—whether it’s walks, drop-ins, or boarding. I plan my day to make sure they get enough attention, playtime, and consistency. Since this is my main focus, I have the flexibility to give each pet the time and care they need. When I do dog walks or drop-in visits, safety and trust are my top priorities. I always make sure pets are secure on their leash and check that harnesses or collars fit properly before we head out. I stick to safe walking routes and keep a close eye on their behavior and surroundings. During drop-in visits, I follow the owner’s instructions carefully—whether it’s feeding, playtime, medication, or just keeping them company. I always make sure doors are locked, everything is cleaned up, and the pet is comfortable before I leave. I also send regular updates so pet parents know their pets are happy and in good hands.
