Full-time dog walker/sitter
Pet care experience
I've been pet-sitting and dog-walking full-time for the last three years on Rover, and volunteered as throughout my teens as a shelter walker. Formerly, I've volunteered at the Pittsburgh Humane Society and Animal Friends. In the last few years, I've walked dog weekly for dozens of clients, and currently have 3 permanent daily walk clients. I've sat for elder dogs with diabetes requiring insulin shots, pups with a history of anxiety, and puppies still figuring themselves out. I am open to any dog, as long as you are honest and clear about your pets' needs and history. Dogs have always been my passion, and I want to make yours as comfortable as possible. Walks, cuddles, playtime, and fun are all encouraged :) Additionally, I’m currently available essentially full time for house-sitting. While pet care is my sole job, I do have midday walks throughout M-F. Therefore, your pet may need to be alone for a few hours at a time. I've worked around more severe separation anxiety, and have a partner who works at home who can fill in. I can work around almost anything with communication and forewarning; building the proper care and schedule around your pet is important to me. I've got a car and am renting a single-family home with a small fenced in back yard. I live with my boyfriend who is great at dog cuddles and sharing the bed with our furry friends without complaint.
Reviews
Erin took great care of my dogs and house on my trip and would love to use her again in the future! Had great communication with her while I was gone and got to see my fur babies pictures everyday which I loved.
Erin is always the best!
Erin is really great with my nervous dog. Very reliable -- we've booked her numerous times. I love the humorous updates and photos she sends. It's a good feeling knowing that she's taking good care of my doggos while I'm traveling.
Erin is our go to sitter from now on! We have had a few sitters through Rover and Erin is above and beyond the most patient, reliable sitter. We left our extremely noise-phobic dog with her for a week while we went away for our wedding. Erin went above and beyond to make sure our girl would go out to potty. We were able to relax and enjoy our week knowing she was in good hands. Ask, Callie loves when Erin and Joey come to visit. I’m pretty sure she was looking for them when we got home. Erin will take the time to understand your dog and all of their quirks, which is so important when you have a needy pup. I would 100% recommend her to family and friends. We will definitely use her in the future!

A typical day
I live in Northeast Minneapolis, and love taking pups on walks by the Mississippi, to dog parks, or just for a cuddle inside on a snowy day. My favorite dog park is Lake Minnehaha, and I've got a variety of toys and tennis balls galore

Availability
I am currently a full time dog-walker and sitter, so pet care is throughout my entire daily routine. I've walked dogs everyday for the past 3 years, so whether it's driving pups to a playdate or scooping out dog food as soon I awaken, my daily and weekly routine is inextricable from pet care.
