Dog Loving Family

Pet care experience

**I'm back after taking a break - I just finished an intense year of Nursing school. I missed all the cute doggies and can't wait to start dog sitting again! I started pet sitting through Rover about 5 years ago, after using the app to find a sitter for my own dog. Having my dog stay in someone's home seemed like a much better alternative to boarding her at a kennel. I wanted to recreate that same experience for other dog owners, by becoming a Rover sitter myself. In the past 3 years, I've been able to meet and watch so many different types of dogs. I've had a chance to learn about different breeds and personalities. I recently started volunteering at Austin Pets Alive, to broaden my knowledge and get to spend even more time with dogs! Whether your dog needs lots of affection, or a quiet space to sleep, I can accommodate that. If you are working on a specific behavior, let me know and I'll help reinforce whatever you are working on! I've got lots of helpers at the house too, which helps create an ideal stay for most dogs, and for their owners too! My kiddos love giving treats and snuggles, but they are also used to being around dogs and know when to give them space. My husband is great at helping with walks, and being around for pickup or drop-off, in case I have to be out.

Erin was great! She welcomed Ella into her home and made her part of the family. She sent regular pictures of Ella snuggling with them, and was prompt with communication. Will definitely book again.

Erin, looked after our pup Watson while we were away and he came back from his vacation so happy!! He loved spending time with Erin and her family :) Erin was very communicative and made the whole process seamless.

Very happy with you Erin. She took great care of cannoli, sent me pictures and I think, she also gave him a bath before we picked him up.

So glad Erin was available to watch my babies this weekend! They came home nice and tired after their stay with Erin and her family. Usually after boarding at a kennel Agnes comes home stressed but she seems to have felt right at home this weekend. Will definitely be reaching out to Erin again for future stays:).

Information Erin C. would like to know about your pet

I want your dog to feel totally at home with us! In order to facilitate that, I’ll need lots of Info from you, the puppy parent. When we meet I will ask you all about your routines and expectations, medical/behavioral needs, favorite toys/walks/treats, and anything else you want me to know so that we can have a happy and successful stay!

A typical day

Our home is a cozy cottage with a great fenced in backyard with lots of room for dogs (and kids) to play. We live in the Zilker neighborhood of Austin, which is within walking distance to Zilker Park and Auditorium Shores, both of which have dog parks. We are also within walking distance of Town Lake Trail, which is a great place to take a dog on a walk! We are close to downtown, and many many dog friendly restaurants. I am always home, and I’m equally happy to run around or stay in and cuddle. There’s no shortage of hands for petting and belly-skritching at our house! When your dog is with us they will get all the love and attention they need!
