Just want to make your dog happy!
Pet care experience
I moved from Mi to Wa in 2015 and decided in 2018 to be a dog walker. That was in King county and after moving to a house in 2021, dog boarding turned into my new side job. Last year I also enrolled in Victoria Stilwell’s Academy for positive training. So I am very aware of dog’s body language and needs. I absolutely love dogs and they are truly my life now but when I was 8 that wasn’t the case. I was bit in the face by a family friend’s dog. He was old and on medication, I startled him awake which led to him biting me. From this incident, I watched Victoria Stilwell on animal planet to get over my fear of bigger dogs and here I am today with a certification in dog training and starting my career with human’s best friend. My goal is for you and your dog to be as comfortable as possible. I only treat dogs/pets as I would want someone to treat mine (and believe me I am a high maintenance pet mom 😉)
Reviews
Erin is a very positive, upbeat person. As soon as I met her I knew the dogs would be loved and cared for. Our kids also booked her for their puppy at the last minute and she happily agreed. (Puppies can be exhausting! ) Communication was very good. I would say every aspect of the stay was satisfactory or better. I recommend her and will use her again if we are in the area. (I book rover people close to where we are going rather than where we live because our dog loves the car ride.)
Erin is the best. Very communicative, kind, and has a welcoming home and great property for pets. She sent photos and videos without prompts. I would definitely recommend Erin as a sitter for your pet!
Fantastic! Sydney LOVED her time. Erin was great, did an awesome job taking care of her and had really great and helpful feedback about Sydney when I picked her up. I will absolutely be coming back next time I need boarding!!!
Wonderful! We needed care for our very good but anxious dog, Jackson, for a few hours. Erin did an excellent job and sent a very cute video of Jackson and her hubby playing with his toy. Lots of fun for both of them!

Outside I have a tether that is screwed into the ground. This is only used under my super vision. It is great in the summer where I will lounge in my hammock while your dog sun bathes right next to me. Inside, I make it as comfortable as possible. I sleep in a separate room than my husband so I can provide your dog the attention they need.
Home
Information Erin G. would like to know about your pet
I always like to know of any allergies (environmental and food), likes/dislikes, and if I should be concerned about anything before walking. And for dog breeds, I am open to any and all! I also like to have only one day at a time. That doesn’t include multiple pets in one family.
A typical day
I have learned a lot through my dog training schooling about brain stimulation for dogs. I have a toy box just for guests, which includes the Kong Gyro. I also love doing treat brain games and play till your dog is done. I have plenty of property to take your dog on walks around or if you and your dog are comfortable, I do long board with some bigger dogs.

I do work a part time job that is only 5 minutes from my house. I get an hour long lunch and always come home during that time. I start at 9 so your dog will get the love and attention in the morning. My husband does work from home and takes many breaks when dogs are around for play time and potty breaks if necessary. We are a great duo when it comes to taking care of your pup 😊
