Safety, trust & environment

I follow the owners instructions on their pets! I like walking dogs, playing with dogs, hanging out with cats. I am not a dog trainer so I can’t handle the aggressive dogs. Well behaved dogs only please 😀

Information Erin D. would like to know about your pet

I am a horse expert, but only a dog beginner / medium. So I can do the basics, but I'm not a dog trainer. I'm happy to watch your well behaved and energetic dogs! :)

A typical day

Fun activities I'll do with the pet during the day are walk in the morning, walk in the afternoon. Occasionally, we can go to the dog park in Kirkland.

Pet care experience

I'm a pet sitter / house sitter, and dog walker. I have my own horse Shay, who lives in Bridle Trails, and I’d like to watch dogs and cats! I like walking dogs, throwing balls for dogs. I'd like to get my own dog someday, but Rover pet-sitting is a good way to hang out with dogs now. :) I'm a graduate student at UW. I work/study remote, so I can house sit and pet sit as long as you have WiFi. I can be around every 8 hours or so while housesitting. I'm active, I like to walk dogs. For dog training - I'm a horse expert, but a dog beginner / medium. I'm not a dog trainer, so I can't work with dogs with aggression issues. I can pet sit well behaved dogs, and energetic puppies are fine.

Erin was very communicative and patient when my Ring was malfunctioning. She was very proactive and watered a very thirsty plant for me while taking care of Nova!

Erin stayed in my home and took great care of my senior dog for a week. She was very gentle with him and I trusted that he was well taken care of. Thanks Erin!

Erin is kind and patient and loves dogs. Her horse experience helps her develop a partnership with a dog or horse. She knows how to care for animals and gives them plenty of attention, exercise and hanging out together time
