Animals are a top priority here

Animals have been part of my life for as long as I can remember, and caring for them is truly second nature to me. I’ve worked in a veterinary office for five years—both in the kennel and as a veterinary assistant—so I’m comfortable handling pets with all kinds of needs, from energetic puppies to seniors who need a gentler touch. I earned my Bachelor’s in Animal Science from Virginia Tech and my Master’s in Animal Science from Clemson University. Throughout school, I worked in research labs and on university farms, gaining hands‑on experience with many species and learning how to care for animals in a wide range of situations. I now live in Harpers Ferry with my two dogs and six chickens, and I work for an animal genetics company. Over the years, I’ve cared for dogs, cats, rabbits, cattle, goats, and more. I’ve raised orphaned animals, supported very sick pets, and provided long‑term care for elderly companions. My husband also has experience caring for his family’s pets and helps care for ours, so your pet will always have someone attentive nearby. At home, I currently have Hallie, a Brittany spaniel mix, and Beamer, an Aussie mix—both friendly, social pups who love having new friends around. Whether you’re local and planning a getaway or visiting the area and need a trusted sitter, I’d love to welcome your furry family member into our home and treat them like one of our own.

Erin and Hunter did an amazing job with our two dogs while we were away for a few days. Our boys got along well with their dogs and enjoyed the run (Lincoln) and snuggles (Tenbrooks) throughout the stay. They kept us updated with pictures and we knew our dogs were safe and loved. We will definitely use Erin and Hunter again!

Erin is absolutely phenomenal! Minnie can be super shy and mildly aggressive (scary growl/bark) with new people but she absolutely loved Erin. I’ve never felt so relieved and comfortable knowing Minnie was in such good hands! I would 100% recommend Erin to anyone.

I have a large fenced in yard and extra crates! I allow animals do be on my furniture as long as that is what their owner allows. My dogs are very active so frequent walks are great!

I would like to know if your pet is reactive or has had any trouble with other dogs in the past, has any allergies or issues I should be aware of. I also like to know what medications he/she will need during the stay. I ask that all dogs are on flea and tick and heartworm treatment.
