Animal Lover & Long Walk Enthusiast
Pet care experience
I have been a dog walker/sitter part-time for the last five years. I am my friends’ go-to animal caregiver whether they go on a long vacation or just need someone to drop in for a quick walk or feeding. I have taken care of dogs and cats of varying ages and breeds, the youngest being a ten week old Frenchie puppy and the oldest a fourteen year old Russian Blue. I have experience walking reactive dogs as well.
Reviews
Erin was fantastic with our pets -- super communicative and handled everything with warmth and professionalism. Knowing that our pets were in capable and empathetic hands while we were gone means everything.
Erin was amazing! My husband and I were going out of town for a few days, and we needed to figure out what to do with our sweet little dogs. Our first choice was to have someone stay at our house with them, and we're so glad we found Erin! In a small-world moment, we found out that Erin had worked with a friend of ours, and he described her as being "Very sweet. Efficient. Hard working. Communicative." And he was right! During our first conversation with Erin, we were immediately put at ease by her warm demeanor, easygoing nature, and positive attitude. Her communication through the Rover app was also top notch. When our pups Winnie and Hunter met Erin, they took to her very quickly. They are guard dogs and can be wary of strangers, but Erin was a welcome presence in their space - she didn't push too hard, and she was very warm and calm, which allowed our little dogs to come to her. We left on our trip confident that our dogs (and our house!) were in good hands. Throughout our trip, Erin couldn't have been better. She communicated regularly with updates and photos, and we were able to enjoy our time away, knowing that our dogs were being cared for. She asked appropriate and thoughtful questions when faced with circumstances that we forgot to tell her about (for instance, that Hunter will pant and pace during thunderstorms). Most importantly, we came home to happy dogs and a well maintained house. I couldn't recommend Erin more highly, and she will definitely be the first person we ask to watch our dogs the next time we go out of town. Thank you Erin!
Erin was great! She took a last minute booking and was awesome with Bowser even though he’s a large rambunctious puppy! Thank you!
Erin is a very responsive walker and is adored by my dog. Highly recommended!

Safety, trust & environment
I ensure that the animals I take care of receive proper walks and timely meals as well as plenty of love and attention. My building unfortunately does not allow pets, but I am available to come to clients’ homes for walks and pet care.
Information Erin B. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your pet has any health concerns I should be aware of. I would like to know if your dog has any particular triggers or quirks that could affect them on our walks such as sensitivity to loud noises, reactivity to other dogs or people, the tendency eat things off the ground they shouldn’t, etc. If there is a park nearby or a favorite route to take, definitely let me know! If your dog is in training or working on a specific command or trick, I would be happy to try it with them as well.
A typical day
I enjoy taking the dogs I watch on long walks in their neighborhoods. I love a good park visit and am always happy to play fetch with an excited buddy!
