Providing free pro pet photography!
Pet care experience
I'm a professional cycling guide for Trek Travel and pet photographer. I live in the Fremont area in Seattle and, without dogs of my own, feel seriously pet deprived most of the time. I'd love to run, hike, walk, play, help train, or just keep your pet company while you're away. I provide a pet portrait shot with each stay longer than 3 days for FREE *tips appreciated if you adore the photo - which *humble brag* you totally will :) Peep my work - Instagram Highlight reel on "Pets" - @eyedropphotography One of the advantages of my seasonal job, when in the "off season" for cycling (and I'm not scheduled for a pet shoot), I can provide up to 24 hour care in your home with your pet! When I am guiding and leading group cycling vacations around the US, I have to be constantly "on" and extroverted while hosting the guests, so it's wonderful to balance that social time and only surround myself with furry friends for weeks at a time. I worked as a professional dog walker / sitter in Carbondale, CO (near Aspen) for 2 years and have experience with dog aggressive dogs, blind dogs, dogs in wheel chairs with special needs, administering medication, etc. I fell in love with pet sitting then, learning that each animal had it's own little personality and quirks. I'm happy to hop on a facetime call or come over for a "meet and greet" to see if I'll be a fit for your family and pet with absolutely no pressure to book until you feel comfortable.
Reviews
Erin takes great care of our pup!
Erin was amazing w our energetic pup: Multiple daily walks, the cutest pup pictures and she even included a message from our pup to our kiddo. This extra attention to our family was great appreciated while we traveled abroad!
Erin did a fantastic job walking our dog Miles. Miles was a super happy pupper when he got home from the walk. Highly recommend!
Erin was outstanding with our cats. She would play with them, and they seemed very comfortable and affectionate with her - which is not always the case! Plus, she was very communicative and responsive, and proactive with questions. I would highly recommend Erin and would definitely ask her to watch our cats again.

I have the unique ability to stay for as long as needed at your home. Typically, I've found, pet parents prefer this, as it's where your pet is more comfortable and I can effectively act as a "house sitter" as well - collecting mail, watering plants, etc, etc. I love to stay active and take pups out on hikes and capture the stay with my photography.
Information Erin D. would like to know about your pet
I'd love to know as much as you're able to provide. Treat motivated? Quirks? Hates skateboards? Where do you normally exercise them? I'll come to you for a complimentary meet and greet to make sure we're a good fit.
A typical day
Let's explore local trails! Wherever you're comfortable taking your pet, I'm happy to adventure to. Happy to provide in-house care where you're pet is most comfortable and send you lots of text updates with photos/videos daily.
