Safety, trust & environment
I live in apartment complex with one of my dogs, so I am not currently accepting pets into my home. There are a bunch of great parks, walking paths, and hiking trails near me that I would love to take your pet. I am more than willing to transport dogs in my car.
Ratings and reviews
Erin was amazing! She went above and beyond to help care for our cats while we were on vacation. 100/10 would recommend!
Erin is a very caring sitter. She’s reliable and conscientious. She’s my go to !!
Erin is reliable, friendly, and our pup, Gia Maria loved her walk today!
Erin is one of the most responsible people I know. She's balancing college, a job, and volunteering with various clubs and organizations on campus. She's had multiple dogs and cats her whole life and they're so well cared for and loved. All of her pets receive fantastic care and are exercised according to their needs: her young dog goes on longer walks while her older dogs and cats get less intense play. Any animal placed into her care is going to be well-loved and cared for as if they are her own.
Erin has always been a pet lover her entire life. She always knew her career would be based around animals. She would take any opportunity she would to care for the neighbors pets while the owners would be away on vacation, and she would always be called back. She still is. She is very loving towards animals and always takes great care of any that she meets. She would be a great petsitter for all of your needs!
