Experienced, responsible, loving

Pet care experience

My name is Erin. Since 2004 I have rescued 4 dogs, all of whom have since crossed the rainbow bridge. I have two sons (that loves dogs!). I am a dog LOVER, but now isn't the right time for our family to get/have a dog. We have a very dog friendly property, set well away from the road with plenty of conservation land nearby. Let us love and care for your dog while your away! Please let me know if you have questions. Thanks, Erin, Jesse, Xavier & Jack

Erin was absolutely fantastic. My dog had the best time and is still tuckered out two days later because of all the walks, runs, and playing they did with him. She has a very calm presence and knows so much about dogs. She is truly a “dog person.” I highly recommend Erin and will definitely use her again!

Right from the start, as soon as I met Erin and her family, I knew that Stella would have a wonderful and safe stay during our time away. Never have I felt more assured of her safety and happiness while being "boarded" and Stella seemed right at home when we dropped her off. Typically, she can be an anxious and nervous pup, but not with Erin. I would highly recommend Erin for anyone looking to have their dog experience the best home away from home experience.

Erin is amazing with dogs! She is the reason that my wife and I got our first dog, who we had for 15 years. She is kind, loving and responsible. I have and would trust her with our doggie child any day. I recommend Erin with the highest confidence and enthusiasm.

I know few other people who have as much compassion for animals as Erin. She has a special way with animals that undoubtedly comes from growing up on a dairy farm in Western Massachusetts. She has taken in strays and fosters, and adopted cats and dogs with less then perfect histories and dispositions, and through great love and patience gave those animals the happy and secure life they deserved. Erin is extremely responsible, conscientious, and safety-conscience and I would not hesitate for a second to trust the health and happiness of my own beloved pets!
