Animal Shelter Volunteer & Dog Mom

Pet care experience

I grew up with dogs and lived with multiple roommates that had dogs in college and during post-college life. I was living dog-free for a few years until I finally adopted a pup of my own, Dawson, in March of 2020. After adopting Dawson, I began volunteering at the puppy pavilion at his shelter where I met his little brother, Einstein, so in a little less than two years I went from zero dogs to two! I work in finance and am still entirely remote, which has made owning two dogs & training a puppy so much easier. I took a break from rover sitting while I completed grad school, and I didn't think I'd be back until I noticed the lack of sitters in my own neighborhood as I was looking for someone to watch my dogs. My fiance and I have fostered multiple dogs from the shelter, and our older dog came with a challenging background, which we continue to work through with training every day. The puppy's been easy compared to him, so I am comfortable handling varying pup personalities. I'm very active and would love to take your dog(s) on long walks/runs/hikes or just toss a ball around in the backyard.

Erin was one of the best sitters we’ve had in a long time! She made sure our dog was cared for AND had fun. Our dog got along great with her pups and you can tell she puts a lot of effort into her sitting experience. She made sure our dog was entertained, exercised and well-loved. Would definitely book again!

Erin is great! She watched our husky Ellie on thanksgiving weekend. She was very flexible with her schedule and was very responsive. Erin took Ellie on a 5 mile run that I’m sure Elle loved. When Ellie came back home she was exhausted from all the excercise, playing, and attention she received. We’ll be using Erin again for sure!

Erin was fantastic! She communicates timely, recalled what she read on my dog's profile, helped me with logistics, and sent photos during the stay. Thank you Erin!

Safety, trust & environment

I have a privacy fence around 90% of my yard, and plan to put a gate in where the driveway leads to the garage. In the meantime, I have a stake and lead. I trust my own dogs in the backyard without it as I stand in front of the unfenced area, but I would be sure to put yours on the lead as it'd be a new environment from him or her.

I'm currently working from home, so I'll have plenty of time to take your dogs out on walks throughout the day. I have two dogs at home, and one of them is a puppy. Working remotely has made training a breeze!
