Home full time, dog trainer!

Pet care experience

AS OF MARCH- Due to current issues with pregnancy and my autoimmune disorder, I've put my profile on away mode. If any of my current usual customers have an emergency- feel free to still contact me and I'll see what I can do. Unfortunately, I can not assist with new customers until after the baby is born (hopefully in June!) Thank you all for understanding! Hi! I'm Erin! I'm currently going to school to be a dog trainer and have years of experience with animals! I used to volunteer with the SPCA working with dogs but I'm knowledgeable with a wide variety of pets including cats, birds, rats, mice, hamsters, and even reptiles like bearded dragons, snakes, and leopard geckos. Don't be afraid to ask if I can care for those family members too! I've also taken vet assisting classes in the past. I am pet CPR certified! We live on North Fort at Fort Lewis so I do have base access! If you don't have base access then don't worry! We can arrange a pick up/drop off! Please note that I will only pick up/drop off within 15 minutes of my house and it's +$5 each way. However, I do not charge for pick up/drop off from the visitor's center. Need training help? Let me know and we can add some obedience training to our visit! Training is extra. Please do not expect me to train your dog while here unless we've spoken about it :) I'm a stay at home mom so I'm available just about anytime! Even on short notice! I do share a car though so if I need to drive somewhere- please keep that in mind! We currently have a German shepherd and two cats!

Erin was great with Stitch and was super accommodating. Was flexible with my schedule and took the time to introduce her dog to mine to ensure they got along well. Stitch clearly had a great time as he was exhausted each day I picked him up!

I was originally not gonna say anything cause we use her so much that at some point it become redundant to review but Erin was able to catch my Dogs Kennel cough really early. Even when I insisted that it was impossible because he has all his shot she insisted that I take him to the vet. Reluctantly I did and about two weeks later my dog is cured of Kennel Cough.Thank You Erin.

We are so happy to have found Erin! She has been so flexible with our family’s unpredictable schedule and just great working with our pup - even offering advice on leash training, etc. Highly recommend!!

Information Erin G. would like to know about your pet

No breed preference(though I do love my gsd's! Haha!). Just ask that I'm told of any behaviorial issues that might arise. I also ask that all dogs I watch are not cat aggressive. If you don't know how you're dog will react to cats then we can test them! Please note: I require all dogs to be up to date on shots and actively being treated against fleas!! I WILL ask for this information so please have it ready when booking!

A typical day

Really it's whatever the dog enjoys! Each dog is different; if they enjoy walks-we'll go on walks. If fetch is there go to- we'll play plenty of fetch! Just let me know what he/she enjoys!
