Pet care experience
Within the past 15 years, I've had the honor of welcoming two adorable dogs into my home, and have come to appreciate the individuality and quirks of each companion. I will treat your pup like family and go the extra mile to ensure their happiness and well-being!
Reviews
Erin has been looking after and caring for dogs for 15 years. She shows the same love and care to any and all dogs, whether they're hers or not. She has significant experience with taking care of dogs in her own household, and currently, a neighbor has entrusted their dog under Erin's care whenever the neighbor is unavailable. She demonstrates a strong understanding of the needs of the dogs under her care, from ensuring they receive proper nutrition, staying on schedule with regular health procedures (e.g. flea medicine, allergy medicine, vet visits, etc.), grooming, playing with the dogs, and more. Most of all, Erin simply loves being around dogs. She would be an excellent caregiver for any dog on Rover.com.
Erin is my neighbor and friend and has helped me navigate the chaos of adopting a high energy and anxious 1 year old Shepherd mix in the last year. She is one of the few people in my life I trust to watch and walk my dog. She walks or dog-sits for Manchi at least once a week, and I trust her more than anyone else to care for my dog in any situation - whether it be at home, in the neighborhood, or at the park. She immediately makes my dog feel at ease, she is gentle but maintains boundaries and pays attention to signals to keep everyone safe (for example, if my dog is reacting negatively to a person or dog), and has even taught Manchi cool new tricks like spin and roll over. I feel as if she treats Manchi as her own dog, and there is no better feeling than to know someone loves your pet as much as you do. She has a natural talent for working with animals and I cannot imagine a more perfect person to meet and work with pets. 10/10, I HIGHLY recommend Erin!
We love Erin! Erin was a great help with my dog when we were roommates. She would take him out to potty and play if he was home alone, and made sure he got some exercise if I had to work late. When we moved, she came to check in on him during the days I was in the office, and he is always so excited to see her! He loves going on walks with her, and Erin is always so attentive to his needs (more water, more snacks, poop bags getting low, etc.).
About Erin C.
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
Each pet has their own preferences, fears, and joys, and it's essential to tailor our interactions accordingly. Whether your pup is a ball of energy who loves a nice, brisk walk, or a shy sweetheart who thrives on gentle encouragement, I'm prepared to provide the care they need to feel safe, happy, and loved. I understand that entrusting your dog to someone else can be daunting, which is why I'm committed to building a relationship of trust and open communication with both you and your dog.
Information Erin C. would like to know about your pet
It is definitely important for me to know if anything makes your dog nervous or stressed both inside and outside of your home. But most importantly, I'd love to know what their favorite activities are, and if they have any favorite walking routes or parks!
A typical day
I love a nice stroll through the neighborhood! There's just so many good sniffs to stimulate the pups. I also really enjoy doing training activities, so let me know if there's anything you'd like me to work on with your dog!
