Pet care experience
I am a PhD student and artist with a flexible schedule (including daytime!) and a love for all pets. I love to develop long-term relationships with pets and their parents, to be able to provide maximum comfort and convenience! ❊ For added peace of mind, I will keep you informed with regular updates and cute photoshoots so that you can rest assured that your pet is content, safe, and well cared for under my supervision. ❊ I am available for boarding, sitting, and long-term house sits. I will do my best to accommodate other needs upon request. ❊ I’ve cared for a variety of pets my entire life—dogs, cats, ferrets, turtles, fish, squirrels, mice, ducklings, pigeons, geckos, lizards, and more. I have lived with and cared for pets with long-term health issues requiring around the clock care and medicine. I am comfortable administering pills and injections. I worked for years as a lifeguard, CPR, and first aid instructor (for humans) and I have some limited, informal training on pet CPR (*note that I am NOT a trained animal medical professional*). I am excited to take care of pets who are skittish home-bodies, fearless adventure-pets, and everything in between! ❊
Reviews
Erin is fantastic! She provided a loving experience for my dog with daily updates and photos. Wish I had found her sooner. Highly recommended!
Erin was wonderful as always! We couldn’t recommend her more! Kept amazing care of our cats, went the extra mile to take care of our home, and was an amazing communicator!
Erin took such good care of our cats! And when the cold snap came she kept an eye on the house. We will absolutely book with her again and recommend her to anyone!
Erin gives the best updates while we’re away and is very accommodating to the needs of our senior dog Cammy.

Safety, trust & environment
I will always take measures to respect your home and your pet’s domain. I will take care to abide by normal schedules and routines so your pet remains in a comfortable and familiar environment. ❊ If your pet loves adventures and new experiences, I can meet those needs too! I am outdoorsy and adventurous and would love to take your pet to the park or trail. ❊ I am open to boarding pets that are okay with staying in a small apartment, with myself (female), my partner (male), and our cat Olivia (female). Olivia is calm and intuitive, but she expects reciprocal respect for personal space and boundaries. Before boarding a new guest, we would like to make sure that the pet(s) get along with Olivia or that we can work out a boarding situation that is acceptable to all.

Information Erin L. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if your pet has any special requirements or schedule preferences. I am happy to keep your pet as calm and quiet or as active and stimulated as you/they need! Just let me know what you and your pet are looking for so I can plan activities accordingly. I am happy to accommodate special toys, games, or locations too.
A typical day
I love to take outdoorsy pets to the hiking or walking trails by the river or out on peaceful country trails. We can stay stimulated indoors too, playing with favorite toys and making up new games. I am always happy to provide pets, cuddles, and comfort as well!
