Pet care experience

I will walk and hike with your dog!

Hi my name is Erin! My husband Andy and I live in Fife Lake, Michigan. We live on a 5 acre wooded lot, where our 2 dogs love to play. Andy will be around to help out at home but will not be helping with walking and home visits at this time. We both work full time in Traverse City, Mi. We have 2 super friendly dogs named Huck and Tater. Huck is a very sweet and timid Golden Retriever rescue that joined the family almost 9 years ago. Tater is a super energetic English lab who hunts with Andy. We love to take our dogs hiking, swimming, and camping. We play fetch with them every night after dinner, we even take them mountain biking with us. Both of our dogs are on a grain free diet. We don’t feed them table scraps and they aren’t allowed on the furniture. I absolutely love dogs!!! I’m very responsible and I’d love to help look after your buddies while you’re at work or out of town. I will keep your dogs active and well loved in your absence. You can expect to get lots of fun photos of your pals while they’re in my care! Unfortunately I can’t take aggressive dogs with a history of biting.

Erin provided excellent care for my dog while I was away. She updated me on how he was doing and went above and beyond to make him feel comfortable and cared for. My space was clean and ready to receive me when I arrived home. I reommend her without reservations and will definitely schedule with her again in the future!

Erin was very personable and did a great job of making me AND my pup comfortable with her. She was great about providing feedback during the booking and responding to messages. She also left the house nice and tidy. Would book her again!

Schedule

I work full-time in Traverse City for a very flexible company. So I can walk your pet before work, during lunch or after work. If you're interested in house sitting I could be available during those same times to pop in to check on your pet. If you’re looking for a drop-in visit for your pet, these same time frames would apply.

Safety, trust & environment

We live on a 5 acre lot that used to be an old Christmas tree farm. We never let our dogs or those we’re watching out unattended. We give the pets we’re watching just as much attention as do our own, which is to say A LOT. Our home really revolves around our best friends Huck and Tater 💗
