About Erin F.
Communication
Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
I am very detail oriented when house sitting as I pride myself taking careful care of every pet as well as keeping a very clean home. I follow all Pet Owners instructions for feeding, walking any medications or supplements. Before I arrive I like to know as much as I can regarding the pets likes/dislikes and quirks so there is an easy transition when the owners leave. I am very gentle with shy pets .If Pet Owner allows, I often take dogs to beach, parks or dog parks! I am home most of the day and highly engaging with pets throughout the day. I communicate with Pet Owners on a daily basis including pictures and videos.
Information Erin F. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if there are dogs in your neighborhood that you avoid. Many dogs like to go after squirrels, bunnies, cats or other dogs, it is helpful to know what triggers your dog ahead of time.
A typical day
I love to play with dogs with their favorite toys or balls. I have a lot of clients with dogs who are great swimmers and play catch in the pool. Since I grew up around the water in FL I love to swim I have no problem jumping in the pool for play time. If owners allow I will take dogs to dog parks, dog friendly beaches or anywhere else the owners let me know they want to go! As you will see in the pictures my Collie client goes grocery shopping!

Reviews
This was my first time using Rover and Erin was fabulous! I wasn’t sure how Hamlet would react when we left. Erin immediately put him at ease and our departure was a non event. The updates and spectacular pics Erin sent while we were away put us at ease and allowed us to truly enjoy our 2 day trip for a family reunion. Erin is a delightful guest and caregiver. Will definitely book her again for my next trip
We have had Erin watch our pups quite a few times and I would highly recommend her to anyone and everyone! I think a friend of ours even used her for her new pup. Great communication, love the photos and our doodles absolutely love her company.
Daisy looks so forward to her time with Erin. And the pictures I get are fantastic. Thanks you so much.
Thanks SO much Erin! From the earliest interactions you gave me peace of mind that I could leave Finlay in your capable and kind hands. You’re a gentle spirit who clearly loves dogs and takes pride in being a support to pet parents. You took thoughtful care of our home and gave me updates the entire way through. Being so new to Florida, I had no support networks for Finlay -and now you’ve become part of her care team! We’d gladly have you back if you were willing and available!! I’m extremely grateful for your flexibility and willingness to go-with-the-ever-changing flow. Thank you for everything. French kisses and couch snuggles from Finlay!!
