Highlights
Pet care experience
Husky mom, cat auntie, science nerd
I currently work from home as a research scientist and I've had pets my whole life. I grew up with two cats since birth and cared for my first personal pet, a ferret named Goober, starting at 8 years old. My family got our first dog, a labradoodle named Aidan, when I was 10 years old, followed by a small poodle mix named Maddie a few years later. In my adult life, I've raised two Siberian Huskies (Bella and Kodi) and I am a proud auntie to three cats (Pumpkin, Opal, and Nugget). Raising two huskies has given me a ton of experience caring for difficult/high energy breeds (I feel I've seen just about anything when it comes to caring for dogs!) I currently have a 10 y/o Siberian husky named Bella who I have had since she was a puppy. Bella also grew up with her brother, Kodi, who sadly passed the rainbow bridge at 9 y/o in 2025 after battling osteosarcoma (bone cancer). Kodi received state of the art treatment by participating in a research study at Tufts University to ensure he had the best end-of-life care possible. This experience absolutely wrecked me, but has only strengthened my commitment to caring for and loving pets at every life stage. I'm comfortable taking care of pets with difficult medical conditions or with complicated medication regimens and I'm happy to share my expertise with you as I care for your fur-babies! : ) I'm comfortable taking care of all types of pets and I am comfortable taking care of all dog sizes, breeds, and exercise requirements. I can't wait to meet your fur baby and I look forward to working with you!

Safety, trust & environment
I am an active dog owner and can take your dog on walks of any distance. Whether it be a walk around the block or a long hike, I am up for the challenge! I'm also happy to accommodate lower energy dogs who prefer company and cuddles over a walk. I love cats and have experience various kitty personalty types (from skiddish to fiesty to 'orange' cat behavior, I've got you covered!) I'm also happy to do drop-in pet sitting and in-home pet sitting, though because of my own pup, I'm not able to stay at the house 24/7, which I understand can be a deal breaker to some. I am happy to work with your schedule and preferences in the hopes of caring for your fur baby. :)
Ratings and reviews
Erin was an amazing sitter! She took great care of both my dog and my lizard, handling their different needs with ease. I would definitely book with her again!
I’ve had Erin watch my dogs a few times, and she’s been great every time. She’s easy to coordinate with and always very dependable and communicative.
I can confidently say Erin is an amazing pet sitter. She has watched my cat on several occasions and has always been incredibly reliable, communicative, and caring. She pays close attention to details, follows care instructions carefully, and makes sure my cat gets plenty of attention and love while I’m away. I always come home to a happy, well-cared-for pet. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy sitter!

Schedule
My schedule is mostly flexible as I currently work from home as a research scientist. I am available on weekends (days, nights, and overnights) and most holidays. I'm also happy to take your pup for an early morning or later evening stroll.
