Experienced Animal Lover
Pet care experience
Animals have been a big part of my life for as long as I can remember. I have worked and volunteered in animal welfare at animal shelters and rescues for over 18 years and have specialized skills in working with shy/fearful cats. I also have experience with training dogs, a wide range of animal handling skills from my experience in animal shelters, and have worked off and on as a pet sitter my entire adult life. I have also worked as an adoption counselor and have been involved in cat rescue and TNR (trap-neuter-return) for over 10 years. I enjoy getting to know a pet's individual personality and what motivates them to help modify behaviors using positive reinforcement techniques. I am fully vaccinated and have a very flexible schedule. I can't wait to meet your pets!
Reviews
Erin is the best! She always takes amazing care of our dog and leaves our house spotless upon our return. She gives daily updates and photos and makes us feel secure and confident about being away. I cannot thank her enough!
Erin is simply the best! I cannot thank her enough for taking such great care of our french bulldog and our home.
Our pets and home were well taken care of while we were gone for 10 days. We will use Erin again Thank you
Erin house/dog sat for our two labs for six days. We have a senior dog that required a bit of extra care. Erin was great, responsive, and sent us photos regularly. We had a positive experience with her and will use her again. Thank you for taking such great care of our boys, Erin!

Safety, trust & environment
I make sure I understand your pet's usual routine and their likes/dislikes so I can provide them with the highest quality care. I make sure I am aware of all safety/security issues in the house, how to properly lock up, alarm, etc. I am fully vaccinated against COVID-19 and am open to wearing a mask during meet and greets if the pet owners prefers.
Information Erin M. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if you pet (cat or dog) has any specific needs medically or behaviorally so I can provide the best care possible. Examples include, reactivity towards other dogs, history of chewing or ingesting inappropriate things, how the interact with other pets in the home, resource guarding (of toys, treats, attention), etc.
A typical day
I love to get to know your pet’s individual personality to provide them with the best care. Have a young pet that enjoys long walks, lots of playtime or hiking? Let me know and I’ll be sure to accommodate that. Have a senior pet who’s more low key and likes to snuggle? I’ll provide plenty of relaxing time and shorter, more frequent potty breaks to meet their needs.

Availability
I work a remote job and have a pretty flexible schedule. I have plenty of time to do walks, overnights, and drop-in visits and can be flexible to keep your pets on their usual routines. I'm also able to spend long-periods of time at home with pets while working remote.
