Highlights
Pet care experience
licensed and first-aid trained
Hi there! I'm Erin. I've grown up my whole life with rescue dogs and so have years of experience caring for pets with unique and sometimes challenging needs. From ages 4 to 15, my family had a timid rescue who struggled with fear and anxiety. I learned patience, consistency and gentle encouragement to help him feel safe and confident. At 16, we welcomed another rescue who came to us with more challenging behavioural issues, giving me hands-on experience in managing and supporting a difficult dog with compassion and structure. Today, I'm the proud of owner of Frances, a terrier-cross rescued from Romania. She is an absolute sweetheart and has made my love for dogs grow more and more. With her, I've gained valuable experience in both house training and teaching new skills, further strengthening my ability to understand and support dogs of all backgrounds. I currently work flexibly from home and so have time to share to look after your beloved furry friends. I always strive to look after others dogs the same way I would my own, providing a safe and loving environment for them. I live in a house with a large fenced in garden, and am five minutes away from a large green space and park, where I regularly take Frances.

Perfect as always! Bramble loves Erin which makes me being away so much easier. ♥️
What an angel! 💕 Not only did she put Bramble at complete ease while looking after him, but kept me so well up to date with how he was that I didn't worry once while I was away. Detailed updates, extra videos outside of the visit cards, and just genuine care for Bramble. Every visit she took time to get to know him, what he was comfortable with and met him with whatever attention he wanted. Bramble is on a specific diet and she stuck to it to a T. 10/10 sitter and I'd happily recommend Erin to anyone ♥️
Roxy loved her time with Erin! Daily updates and photos helped us with missing our little girl when on holiday. We will definately book Erin again for watching Roxy in the future.
Many thanks Erin, another wonderful day had by Loki.
Erin was very knowledgeable and reassuring when leaving our wee one for daycare, no concerns whatsoever. He had a great time playing and chilling with Frances!
Just collected Alba from her weeks stay with Erin and what a blast she has had. Erin kept me posted every day with updates and pictures of Alba! 5 star service and wouldn’t trust Alba with anyone else ❤️

Schedule
I work a flexible job that allows me to be at home most of the week, which makes pet care a natural and enjoyable part of my daily routine. Because I’m home so often, I can provide plenty of attention, playtime, and regular walks, as well as stick to each pet’s individual schedule. Caring for animals fits seamlessly into my lifestyle, and I love being able to balance my work with something that brings me so much joy. I have flexibility for long afternoon, evening and weekend visits and walks. As well as drop in visits throughout the week.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
When caring for pets in my home, I make sure they feel safe and comfortable by creating a calm, welcoming environment. I have a secure, fenced-in garden that’s perfect for outdoor play, and I work short hours, which gives me plenty of time in the evenings and on weekends for long walks and play sessions. My own dog, Frances, is a friendly terrier cross who loves having puppy playtimes and makes a great companion for visiting dogs.I believe in patience, positive reinforcement, and treating every pet as if they were my own, making sure they feel loved and secure while their family is away.
Pets
A typical day
I love keeping pets active, engaged, and happy! With dogs, I enjoy going on walks, playing fetch, and practicing simple training games to keep their minds sharp. For cats, I like interactive play with toys like feather wands or laser pointers, along with lots of cuddles if they enjoy them. I’ll also spend time just hanging out with pets, giving them attention and comfort so they feel safe and loved while their owners are away.
