I'm a pretty active person with a pretty flexible schedule. Animals are and have always been my highest priority! They are such special gifts, and each one has its own personality and needs! Although drop-ins and walks are typically scheduled for 30 minutes, I almost always take extra time to spend with and give more attention and love to each animal.

Safety, trust & environment

The safety, security, and health of your beloved animals is of the uptmost importance to me! I know what it's like to be away from your babies and worry how they are doing. I will follow every care instruction provided and keep you updated with photos, videos, and communication on how they are doing while you are away! I always make sure doors, gates, and windows are never left open, unlocked, or ajar for an accidental escape; that all leashes and collars are properly secured; if crates or carriers are required, I too, make sure that they are properly secured so your baby is safe and secure during travel. I will always be sure to double check something before putting the safety of your animals at risk! While walking dogs, my attention is completely on them and our surroundings! I truly enjoy being in the present and the quality time I get to spend with your loved ones! I make sure that they are safe from other animals and environmental hazards like toxic plants or materials that could harm them! It is their time and I try my best to make it as enjoyable for them as possible and focus my time and energy to meet your pets needs!

Information Erin D. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dogs or cats have any special needs or behaviors that I can account for. If there are any dietary restrictions, concerns, allergies, or medical issues that I should be aware of. I will be sure to pay special attention to these needs, concerns, and requirements!

A typical day

I love changing up our daily routes and going on new adventures around the neighborhood, going to local parks, and playing various games together. I also carve out extra time for some quality pets and loves too!

Pet care experience

I'm an animal lover and pet whisperer. Even the shyest of the shy come my way. I grew up with dogs as a kid and took care of all of our neighbors pets. As an adult I've been consistent cat Mom. When my beloved Smash passed at the age of 13, I had to rescue not one, but two more. They, like Smash, are my babies!! I treat them like and consider them my children! Since moving to the neighborhood, I have taken up watching the neighbors' cat while they're away and walking the next door neighbor's puppy while he's at work. I have also spent many long weekends cat sitting and in-home dog-sitting for various friends throughout the past 10 years since I've lived in the Seattle area.

She’s awesome! She’s responsive and flexible and really wants what’s best for your pet. My dog is shy with new people but he got comfortable with her almost instantly. She took great care of my dog on their first walk together and made sure he found new spots to smell and made sure is water bowl was clean and full before dropping him off at home. She went above and beyond all my expectations.
