Mother and Pet Lover
Pet care experience
Hi there! I'm Erin, a dedicated mother and lifelong animal enthusiast. With a heart full of love for all creatures great and small, I've spent most of my adult life volunteering, fostering, and caring for animals. From dogs to cats and everything in between, I've had the pleasure of nurturing and pampering a wide variety of pets. My journey into pet care started years ago when I began volunteering at local animal shelters and fostering dogs and cats in need. Over time, my passion evolved into a profession, and I've been providing top-notch pet sitting and dog walking services ever since. What sets me apart is the personal touch I bring to every interaction. As a mother, I understand the importance of family, and that includes our beloved pets. That's why I love nothing more than including my own children in our pet visits and walks. Your furry companions not only get the care and attention they deserve but also the joy of interacting with a fun-loving family. At home, our household is a bustling hub of activity, filled with the laughter and energy of children. Alongside my small and sociable Jack Russell Terrier mix and clever cat, we create a warm and welcoming environment for pets of all shapes and sizes. With experience caring for various breeds, including the majestic Great Dane, I'm well-equipped to handle the unique needs and quirks of different animals. Whether your pup needs a leisurely stroll around the neighborhood or your cat requires some extra TLC while you're away, rest assured they'll be in loving and capable hands with my family. So, if you're seeking reliable and compassionate pet care services that treat your furry friends like family, look no further. Because when it comes to your pets, they deserve nothing but the best!
Reviews

Erin took the best care of our puppy Louie. She was extremely responsive and accommodating. This was my first time leaving him but after meeting Erin I knew he would be in great hands. She sent updates and pictures throughout his stay. Louie had the best time and felt lots of love staying with Erin!


Erin took such great care of my dog and cat when I went away for 10 days! I have never left my animals for that long and I was very anxious but she sent my updates and pictures along the way that made me feel so much better! My dog in particular had such a nice time going for walks with her and her boys and it was so nice to know that he got a little vacation of his own as well. It’s such a relief to know I can ask Erin again in the future and be sure Jam Jam and Leonidus are in good hands! 12/10 recommend!
Erin is amazing with animals! She is so caring and knowledgeable. I remember when she drove for days through different states to help transport a rescue dog. She is extremely responsible and loving. She’s one of the only people I would trust with my two energetic dogs.

Information Erin H. would like to know about your pet
Knowing about someone's pets ahead of time can provide valuable insight into their lifestyle and preferences. For example: Before we dive into the details of our day, it's important to mention the furry member of our family – our beloved dog. Our pet isn't just a companion; they're an integral part of our daily routine and activities. From joining us on walks to adding a playful touch to our outdoor adventures, our dog enriches our lives in countless ways. Understanding and respecting our pet's presence is key to understanding our household dynamics and priorities.
A typical day
On a typical day, you'll often find me bustling around the house, taking care of various household chores to keep things running smoothly. Whether it's tidying up rooms, doing laundry, or preparing meals, there's always something to be done. But amidst the busyness, I always make time for my furry companion – my beloved dog. We go for refreshing walks together, exploring the neighborhood or nearby parks, soaking in the sights and sounds of nature. And when it comes to spending quality time outdoors, my children are my greatest joy and motivation. We love venturing outside, whether it's playing games in the backyard, going for family hikes, or simply taking leisurely strolls together. It's these moments of togetherness, surrounded by the beauty of the outdoors, that truly make our days special and memorable.

Pet care is not just a job for me—it's my passion and my primary focus outside of being a mom and pet owner myself. With my schedule wide open and dedicated solely to pet care, I have the flexibility to tailor my daily and weekly routine to meet the needs of both pets and their owners. Each day, I prioritize spending quality time with the pets under my care, ensuring they receive the attention, exercise, and companionship they need to thrive. Whether it's morning walks, midday visits, or evening cuddle sessions, I'm there to provide personalized care and companionship every step of the way. My wide flexibility allows me to accommodate the unique needs of each pet, whether it's administering medication, adhering to specific feeding schedules, or simply providing extra TLC for pets with special needs. I understand that every pet is different, and I strive to create a routine that caters to their individual preferences and requirements. By limiting my bookings, I can ensure that each pet receives the care and attention they deserve without feeling rushed or overlooked. Whether it's a one-time visit or a long-term arrangement, I'm committed to providing top-notch care that exceeds both pet and owner expectations. In essence, pet care isn't just a part of my routine—it's the heart of my daily life, and I'm dedicated to making sure every pet feels loved, safe, and cherished in my care.
