I've known Erin for a long time and during that time I've always known her as an animal lover. She especially loves dogs, big and small. She grew up in a family that owned German Shepards, so she is used to loving and caring for a large breed. Also, she has a big heart and the capacity to care for animals in need. Several years ago, she adopted a German Shepard from a rescue. This dog had a lot of health problems and required Erin to specially prepare her meals and often times help her eat them. She spoiled her and gave her a very happy life. Most recently she adopted 2 German Shepards, a pug-boxer mix, and a Chihuahua-pug mix. She also took in a stray cat. They are all well taken care of and want for nothing. As I've mentioned, Erin and I have known each other for a long time. We used to be roommates and are still great friends. She is very trustworthy and one of the sweetest people I know. She is a very caring person that would help anyone, be it family, friends, strangers or animals. She is very responsible and professional and when considering pet sitters or walkers, she would be an excellent choice.

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.
