Safety, trust & environment

Since animals do better in their own home, it's best to allow them to stay where they are comfortable. I do have an exception for puppies under six months, and they can stay at my home if needed. My schedule can be flexible and tailored to your pets normal routine, with added walks, playtime, enrichment toys, and fun! I am also happy to water plants, check the mail, and etc. My main priority is the safety and wellbeing of your fur baby.

Animal trainer With a Love for Pets

Pet care experience

I use a Fear-free and a positive reinforcement approach. I have work professionally with animals since I was a teen. I first started working as a barn manager and rehabilitate ex-racehorses while still in high school. I went on to work a pet stores, grooming salons, and vet offices. I gained experience with all types of animals, from dogs and cats to mice. I then became a animal trainer and worked at the SPCA's training facility, specializing in anxiety and stress management in pets. Before moving to Washington last year, I ran my own training and petsitting company. I am happy to work with all ages and activity levels. Giving Medication or extra care are no problem. I have four cats of my own along with my dogs.

Erin was great with our animals, especially our dog who can be nervous with strangers. She was super communicative and provided lots of updates and pictures. Thank you so much!

Erin was amazing! She even did some fun puppy training with my 11 month old Springer. House was clean upon my return and she communicated with me often.

Erin housesat and took care of 13 year old lab-mix, Ruby, while we were on vacation. Erin has a lot of experience with animals and it showed in how Ruby immediately bonded with her when they first met. She was very thoughtful, observant and attentive to Ruby's needs and followed instructions to the tee. She also provided frequent updates and was very responsive whenever we had any questions. Erin also kept everything around the house very clean and tidy, making for a nice homecoming when we returned. We will not hesitate to use Erin again in the future and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a considerate and reliable petsitter.
