Highlights
Pet care experience
From Tiny Kittens to Big Dogs!
I have five years of hands-on experience caring for both dogs and cats. My experience began when I fostered a mother cat and her six very young kittens. Several had respiratory infections, so I carefully administered their prescribed medication and monitored their care. I found loving homes for four of the kittens and adopted the other two. I later worked at a humane society and have also provided pet sitting for neighbors and family members. I raised my Doberman from 11 weeks old and have personally handled his basic training, exercise, enrichment, and daily routine. Having lived with pets throughout my life, I’m comfortable following detailed care instructions and giving every animal patient, attentive, and dependable care.

Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Erin is very knowledgeable about dog care and dog training. She has a natural gift with dogs; both of our Irish doodles love having her around. She puts them at ease right away. She communicated quickly and was able accommodate our special dog needs with excellence.
Erin has taken care of my 4 cats several times while I was out of town. The first thing I noticed about her is how much she loves animals! Erin is very reliable, trustworthy, and she was respectful of my home. She sent me pictures and updates about my cats daily. One of my cats has some special needs and Erin was great about following instructions and taking good care of him. I did not worry about my cats while I was out of town and my cats were happy on my return. I would highly recommend Erin to care for your pets and I plan to continue using her to care for mine!

Erin is an awesome per sitter!!! I’ve known her for a while and every interaction I’ve had with her has been great specially with my dog korra!! I highly recommend Erin if you want someone that really values you and your animals!!
Erin did a great job taking care of our cat for the week! She was reliable, easy to work with, and gave us peace of mind while we were away. Squid is usually very vocal and agitated when we come home from a big trip, but after Erin watched her, she was completely content and relaxed when we got back. It was so wonderful to see! We’d definitely recommend Erin to anyone looking for someone to take great care of their pets.
I had such a great experience with Erin watching our kitty for the week! She is incredibly caring, communicative, and responsible. I appreciated her photo updates which gave me so much peace of mind. Came home to a happy kitty and would absolutely recommend Erin!
Erin has watched my dog Gus on multiple occasions, and she always provides the best care! She is incredibly knowledgeable about pet care, and Gus absolutely adores her. I highly recommend her!

Schedule
Pet care is my primary professional focus, allowing me to offer dependable availability and give each booking my full attention. I provide walks, drop-ins, and limited boarding throughout the week. To ensure personalized care and a calm home environment, I board only one guest dog at a time, subject to availability and a successful meet-and-greet.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I provide walks and drop-in care in my clients’ homes, as well as limited boarding in my own home. My home has a securely fenced one-acre yard with plenty of room for supervised exercise and play. I have a Doberman and three cats, with separate areas available so animals can have their own secure space when needed. I board only one guest dog at a time and require a meet-and-greet before confirming a stay. Introductions are handled gradually and supervised carefully, and pets are separated during meals and whenever supervision is not possible. Before every booking, I review each pet’s routine, temperament, feeding instructions, medical needs, emergency contacts, and behavioral considerations. Pet parents receive regular photos and updates throughout their pet’s stay or visit.

A typical day
Each day is tailored to your dog’s normal routine, personality, and energy level. A boarding day may include supervised time in my fenced yard, walks, playtime, enrichment activities, meals, rest breaks, and plenty of individual attention. I maintain your dog’s usual feeding and medication schedule and provide regular photo updates throughout their stay.

- Please tell me about your dog’s routine, personality, medical needs, medications, feeding schedule, leash habits, crate experience, and any history of reactivity, resource guarding, escaping, or separation anxiety. I also need to know how your dog behaves around other dogs and cats. A meet-and-greet with my Doberman is required before boarding so we can make sure everyone is comfortable.
