Highlights
Pet care experience
I want to meet your pets!
Hello! I have 6 years of experience in professional pet care from dog walking, to pet sitting cats and birds and other little creatures, to daycare and basic grooming. In the past, I've worked with all kinds of pets, including special needs, untrained/unsocialized, and seniors in their twilight years. I'm also trained to orally medicate, administer shots, and have experience with first aid/CPR. I believe bonding is incredibly important for a sitter/walker and I like to treat pets as family. I also know that being trusted to when enter someone's home and handling their pet is a big deal. Safety and security is top priority for me when handling a pet and entering/leaving your home. I never let dogs off leash or am on my phone when handling them unless I'm taking pictures. I have my own little delightful Chihuahua mix named Mavis who means the world to me. I love being around animals and recently cared for a sick feral kitten who very sadly ended up passing due to neurological issues and so I'm back in business to help a little with the costs while doing what I love on the side. I'll take pictures and report on your pets visits so you can rest easy while away or are busy at home.

Safety, trust & environment
I like to leave your house as I found it or better. If there are special instructions (such as door codes, house or pet quirks, crate or feeding instructions) please provide them prior to the visit. If your pup would like some socialization, I'd be happy to bring Mavis along for walks. If you need trash taken out, plants watered, litter boxes scooped, please let me know and I'll take care of it. If you're out of town for a while I like to rotate lights in the house to make it look lived in. Food and water will be checked every visit. I like to take dogs collars off if they are going in their crate for safety. I also don't like to use flexi leashes due to possible risks and will use my own 6 ft leash just in case you don't own one. If your pet has any favorite toys, activities, or other special info let me know!
Ratings and reviews
Having watched Erin care for animals firsthand, I can enthusiastically say she is a natural when it comes to pets. She is deeply dependable, incredibly patient, and treats every animal with wonderful warmth and kindness. Her extensive background as a lifelong pet owner and professional walker means she instinctively knows how to keep animals safe, happy, and fully engaged. She pours her heart into everything she does for animals, and any pet owner would be lucky to have her!
Erin is an exceptionally hard-working, reliable, and responsible pet caregiver who genuinely loves all animals. She is patient and caring, always going above and beyond to ensure pets receive not only physical care, but also the love and mental stimulation they need. With extensive experience as a dog walker and owner, she is wonderful with all breeds and has a proven track record caring for dogs, cats, ferrets, and other pets. I could not recommend her more highly!
Erin is a responsible, loving pet caregiver. She gives them everything a pet needs to thrive exercise, time, attention, and affection. She can handle multiple animals at one time with ease I’ll giving the animals the distance and time they need for exercise to keep them healthy and strong. Erin’s hands are good hands because Erin’s heart is a good heart.
