Compassionate & Knowledgeable Care

Pet care experience

Do you have pets with anxiety or prefer to have your pet at home rather than boarded while you are away, then I am here to help! Let me help keep your pet comfortable and remove your worries while you are away:) Overnight stays consist of 10 to 12 hours of overnight time with your pet, with morning and evening time together. A midday visit can be arranged as well! I love to play, run, and have fun with your pet so that they feel relaxed and comfortable during your time away from them. I also practice scientifically backed techniques to reduce anxiety and stress with your pet! I have experience as a veterinary assistant and kennel technician, so I understand how important quality care is! I am also very knowledgeable of pet CPR and first aid if necessary. I am aware that some pets may show fear or aggression during their stay, but I understand that the aggression is stemming from a place of fear, and I will take all the time needed to make sure your pet is comfortable! I graduated with my Bachelor of Science in Experimental Psychology and Biology at the University of South Carolina Upstate! I am very knowledgeable of different care techniques for a multitude of breeds and understand that pets may have dietary restrictions, require medications, and require different levels of activity and play. I personally love being in nature, and I am extremely passionate about environmental and conservation issues. I also have an expanding knowledge and first hand experience dealing with pets that have anxiety and food aggression . I have personally cared for several types of animals, including dogs, cats, a variety of mammals, lizards, bearded dragons, and fish. I also have experience with snakes, amphibians, and other reptiles. I am human to an amazing pack of dogs named Percy & Mia. I am also mama to my beautiful 7 month old daughter who adores dogs and cats! I love to snuggle, but understand that some animals prefer space and want to make your pet as comfortable as possible at all times. I also want to relieve your stress while you are away by knowing that your pet is being taken care with superior care. A stress free pet is the happiest pet of all :) My experience administering medication I have administered liquid, pill, and capsule medication to animals multiple times and I am comfortable with the process and reducing the stress of the experience. I also have experience giving subcutaneous fluids to a variety of animals, including small mammals.

Erin was absolutely incredible with my cats! She was very thorough, went above and beyond with requested tasks, and seemed to genuinely enjoy being with my babies. I would definitely recommend her to anyone I know, and will be using her services in the future!

Daisy’s stay went wonderfully from start to finish! Erin was able to accommodate our last minute booking without issue. Communication was top notch both before booking and during the entire stay. I was sent multiple photos per day with updates on how Daisy was doing. Erin went above and beyond to make sure both Daisy’s stay and our experience were excellent and I would absolutely recommend her.

Erin always does such an incredible job caring for our babies. She puts our minds at ease when we’re gone because we know she takes tremendous care of them. She is such a treasure and we are extremely grateful for her!

This was our first time using Rover and also our first time with this dog sitter. Excellent experience with both! Thank you Erin for taking care of our little guy.

Information Erin D. would like to know about your pet

I have been exposed to a multitude of breeds, but would like to meet with a pet if possible before sitting to get the know the animal. By meeting with the animals before hand, they will be more comfortable with my presence once I am caring for them, making their experience less stressful and more enjoyable. I would also like to know: Exercise preference Morning and Night rituals Allergies Medications Up to date on shots Specialized Diets Where to find special toys, leashes, and favorite place to play If the dog is good with other dogs, animals, and people Does your dog like to go for walks, to the dog park, etc... Breed, Size, and Sex And any other information you may find relevant to make your pet comfortable during your absence.
