If you plan on having Erin watching your dog you can be absolutely certain that your pet is in very good hands. Erin has studied and worked in veterinary medicine for many years and is highly educated so even if your pet has special needs it would be like another day at the office, her dogs are very well behaved and she always makes absolute certain they eat healthy and stay in shape. I attempted to trim my dog Triggers ( Bluetick beagle mix) nails and he was showing more aggressive behavior than I was comfortable with, so when Erin came over in less than 5 minutes she had him on his back with his paws in the air, she has a special connection with dogs, he's a different dog around her, it's like he can't wait to please her and for her to sit and cuddle with him. I highly recommend Erin and if you take your furry friend to meet her for the first time don't take it personal if she greets your dog before you that's just the way she is!
