Pawsitively Faithful Pet Sitting 🙏
Pet care experience
I’m that lady you invited to the barbecue but will find her socializing in the corner with your pet! I have farm, kennel, pet store, dog training, as well as over 35 years of personal pet care experience. I am dog and cat First Aid/CPR certified, can give medications with ease, administer shots, and have disabled and geriatric pet care experience. Pawsitively Faithful Pet Sitting is my in-home business, but my primary job is also a work from home career with UPMC. That being said, I am always here for your furry friend's around the clock care 😊! Currently I have a Boston Terrier named Brixy, and he is my joy. He’s very well behaved but because he is special needs (medically speaking), he remains in my office when we have any pet visitors stay with us. There’s never a shortage on love or playtime in this house! I keep plenty of extra supplies on hand (bowls, toys, treats, etc) and have an "air-tight" fenced in yard along with tie out cables of all different sizes to accommodate your pet if you have extra concern and wish me to use one. I can not even begin to imagine how nerve wracking it must feel to leave your pet in the care of a complete stranger and for that I can empathize! Words can never express the level of my reassurance to you that your little one will be looked after as if they were my very own in every protective and motherly manner possible. ***Please understand, this is a legitimate and legally run pet sitting business for me. In the state of PA, (even if you're only watching one dog), you must have a kennel license and pass a very detailed inspection with the local dog warden. I have passed this inspection but it is a 100% PA State requirement that if your pet stays in my home, you must provide me with a copy of proof of their rabies vaccination or exemption. Without this, I could receive a massive fine if they drop in for a surprise inspection of my home.
Reviews
Always fantastic communication and patience with us. She’s probably understanding my problem child. Planning for October 🥴
Erin was absolutely incredible! I was extremely nervous leaving our rescue Archie with anybody for 10 days...I didn't want him to think we abandoned him. Erin sent videos, pics, & updates as often as I liked (which was a lot) She really went above and beyond. We'll definitely be return customers- Archie had a blast & was very well taken care of. Highly recommend Erin & her services.
Phenomenal! Great with dogs! She was super communicating with us and even offered to groom and trim our dog’s hair! He looks cuter than ever and is so soft! Thank you!
Absolutely fabulous. She really cares and tolerated my time changes and my quirky dog even with his messes on the last day. Jig seems a little down today I wonder if he misses his buddies? Thank you for everything!

I have my pet sitting routine down to a science! Generally, when they wake up, I take them out to the fully enclosed, fenced yard and either let them run, or I will use a tie out cable (I have all sizes) if the pet parent likes me to use one for extra safety purposes. Then we eat breakfast and settle in so I can start my work from home job. Throughout the rest of the day I will take breaks to let them outside every couple of hours, and spend time giving them love, attention, and playtime. My shifts end at 2:30pm, and depending on the weather, we usually go outside to play fetch or just enjoy some sunshine. Around 5 or 6pm, they get dinner and we start to wind down for the evening with some relaxation time watching Turners Classic movies 😄. There is another potty break before bed around 8 or 9pm at which point we usually call it day.

Information Erin G. would like to know about your pet
I can care for most all dogs and cats with special needs just so long as I am made aware of their history and what sort of behaviors they tend to have or medical difficulties that I should be aware of and how you want them cared for. It's your baby, and I want you to have the utmost trust that they'll feel perfectly safe and at home here!
A typical day
Beyond physical activity in general, such as running in the yard, playing fetch, and some good old fashioned tug of war, I also love to stimulate the mind with challenging games. I find that these types of activities create a wonderful bonding experience as well as captive their attention by making them think their way to solving a puzzle (such as hiding a treat under one of many cups and making them figure out which one). This has a tendency to entertain them forever and tires them faster than any physical activity!

With a work from home career, I have plenty of time to devote to your pets care in my house. Keeping a perfectly executed schedule for them to go out, exercise, eat meals, snuggle, etc. is very important to me.
