Pet care is a big part of my daily routine. I start most mornings with dog walks in the neighborhood, and I build the rest of my day around drop‑ins, longer sits, and my regular midday visits. I’ve been doing this full‑time since November 2025, so the flow is second nature at this point. I’m in and out of Roscoe Village all day, which makes scheduling flexible and consistent. Evenings usually include a couple of walks or check‑ins, and I keep communication steady throughout the day so owners always know how their pets are doing.

I am a very quiet natured but attentive person! I can keep the fur babies calm while also giving them all the attention they need!

Information Erin J. would like to know about your pet

Before watching your pets, it’s important to know about their routine, preferences, any health concerns or dietary restrictions, favorite toys, and how they interact with other animals or people. This helps ensure they feel comfortable and secure while under my care.

A typical day

With the pets I watch, I’ll engage in fun activities like playful walks, interactive games, fetch, cuddling sessions, and providing enrichment through new experiences to keep them happy and healthy.

Pet care experience

I’ve been a full‑time dog walker and cat sitter in Chicago since November 2025. I grew up with cats and also worked with dogs at a vet office in college, so I’m comfortable with all kinds of personalities and needs. I’m calm, reliable, and good at reading animal behavior. I keep routines steady, follow instructions, and send clear updates so you always know how your pet is doing.

This sitter just did a no show one day after taking care of my new puppy for several weeks. She did not respond to messages until a week later saying she was not feeling well. She has a building key that is a special non duplicate key for a multi unit building. It costs $50. She failed to return the building key and my condo keys. I had to place a new lock on my door. I do not expect to be informed in detail of what is personally going on but I do expect some sort of arrangements to be made to have someone respond on her behalf or have Rover step in. I do not recommend you choose her for your pet sitter. The whole experience was very unfortunate.

Erik was amazing with my cat while I was out! She checked in everyday and sent detailed pictures and notes about my cat on each visit!

Erin came to my apartment to feed and check in on my cat everyday for a week. She was super professional, prompt, and I’d recommend her to anyone that needs their pet taken care of <3

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
