12 years experience caring for pets

Pet care experience

I’ve been responsible for pets since I was 9, but have always had a family dog in the house. People have trusted me to stay in their homes and care for their pets needs including bathing, feeding/water, exercise, medications, haircuts, and more. I have lots of experience with puppies, elderly, and working bird dogs. I couldn’t imagine life without animals and I love taking care of them like they’re family.

Erin is amazing and our dogs love spending time with her. We've had her for both walking and house sitting, and she took great care of our pups.

We recently had the pleasure of having Erin take care of our two Belgian Malinois while we were away, and we couldn't be more impressed with the level of care and attention she provided. From the moment we met Erin, it was evident that she is not only a true animal lover but also highly responsible and trustworthy. Our dogs immediately warmed up to her, and we felt at ease leaving our furry family members in her capable hands. Throughout our time away, Erin went above and beyond to ensure our dogs were not just looked after, but truly loved and pampered. Updates and photos were a delightful touch, reassuring us that our pets were happy and thriving under her care. Erin didn't just fulfill the basic responsibilities; she took the time to play, exercise, and provide the affection our dogs crave. It's clear that she understands the individual needs and personalities of each pet, tailoring her care accordingly. Upon our return, we found our home in great condition, and our dogs were in high spirits. We wholeheartedly recommend her services to anyone in search of a reliable and caring pet sitter. Thank you, Erin, for your exceptional care and for treating our dogs like your own. We are grateful for your dedication and will certainly reach out for future pet-sitting needs!

Erin was wonderful with my two beagles. She was attentive to their needs and was great at keeping in touch with me. I got photos and updates of my pups and she was in constant contact with me as I asked a lot of questions and she promptly answered them all. My pups sleep in the bed and she sent me a picture of them with her every night and I could see how comfortable they were with Erin as they had legs in the air or were cuddling up to her. Erin is mature and is definitely an animal lover I would use Erin again in a heartbeat and I highly recommend her.

Safety, trust & environment

I have 2 working springer spaniels that live in NC, so I understand the need for exercising high energy dogs, especially when they’re puppies. I also have a cocker spaniel that lives with me in Keller. I always let the dogs sleep in bed/on the couch or wherever they want, I’ve had free feeders and timed, dogs with disabilities and medication needs, and always respect the rules they are expected to follow. I always go out of my way to make them comfortable because I understand meeting new people can be high stress for some animals and want to make it as easy as possible for them. I usually have my phone on me, so I reply to clients quickly and can send as many updates as wanted.

Information Erin J. would like to know about your pet

I’d like to know if they have any special needs, such as illnesses, disabilities, or disorders. I have experience with medication administration and dealing with animals that have anxiety issues.

A typical day

I love playing with animals and trying to teach new tricks. I always watch their body language to make sure they’re in the mood for it so they don’t get too stressed. I’m good with walking or running dogs, if they’re trained off leash I have experience with recall and specific work outs they may need, indoor play with toys, and just generally exploring with them.

When I am at home I have a 3 year old cocker spaniel. I take for at least one walk a day and let her off leash so she can run. I make sure to groom her at least every other day so she doesn’t get matted or uncomfortable.
