Love your dog like my own
Pet care experience
I have fifteen years of experience in providing in-home pet care. I take pride in my professionalism and in making sure your dog (or cat) has a great time! I don't have any breed or size preferences, but I will ask you a lot of questions at our meet-and-greet about your dog's habits and needs (unless you answer them all first, which is great!). I provide: • in-home overnight care (in your home) • very occasionally, I can provide continuous, non-overnight care in your home, but I charge an hourly rate for this. You can message me for details. Please clearly indicate in your message that you are looking for continuous, hourly in-home care (either in addition to an overnight or NOT as an overnight) so I can give accurate information about my availability. Thanks! • I no longer do walks or drop-ins for new clients, just house sitting. •• Overnight, In-Home Care •• Great for dogs who are elderly, anxious or don't get on well with other dogs. My goal is always to leave your house as clean (or cleaner!) than when I arrived and I'm happy to do things like water plants, bring in mail, etc. PLEASE NOTE: This is for overnight sitting, NOT hourly, continuous care. While I guarantee that I am in your home from 7pm-7am and am almost always home a great deal more than that (including all day/evening/night on the 2 days that I work from home and from about 4:30pm onwards on the 3 days when I can't), that is a different service and you should message me and indicate that is what you are looking for, if your expectation is that I will be in your house continuously during the working day (in some cases, I am able to do that, but it needs to be requested and discussed). I also do NOT use the Rover extended care feature - please don't book that way because you will get overcharged if I don't notice and edit it. •• Camera Policy •• You have every right to monitor what goes on in your home, and I’m happy to work in homes with a camera. I just ask that you please keep the camera in the living area/common spaces, and that you let me know if you have one, especially if I will be sleeping over in your home.
Reviews
Erin took excellent care of my two dogs. She stayed at my place, and treated it with maximum care. She sent many photos of my dogs and was always very responsive. Thank you, Erin!
Erin was absolutely amazing with our dog Daisy! She watched her in our apartment for 4 days and was so great about communicating updates and sending pics. We felt so comfortable knowing Daisy was in great hands. Would definitely recommend and will book again!
Erin is wonderful. Our very good boy had a fantastic time with Erin. She was great at communicating and sending updates. I’m so glad she took care of our pup and hope she will watch him again. Highly recommend.
Erin was so sweet and attentive with our dog, and was great at communicating with lots of pics and updates so we knew she was being taken care of VERY well. Also, our dog took a little while to warm up to her at first and she was so patient with her. We will definitely plan on hiring her again!

How I care for your pet depends on their needs and preferences - please let me know what their walk schedule and preferred playtime rituals are when we have the meet-and-greet :)
Information Erin M. would like to know about your pet
I'd like to know about your dog's routines and personality, so I can make their time away from you as comfortable and reassuring as possible. Things I like to know about: • How many walks a day, how far and what pace? • Is your dog shy or sociable? • What times are meals and how much food? • What treats and how often? • Crate rituals, if your dog has one • Who should I call first in an emergency? Where is your vet's number located? • Anything else I should know (ie - if I should make Ellie sit or do a trick before she gets a treat or if Zelda is an escape artist)
A typical day
I love parks and fetch. If your pup likes the dog park, we can go there, too :) If your dog has favorite toys or activities, I want to know!

Erin can watch in your home
Availability
IMPORTANT: I currently have a full time job, where I work on site 3 days per week from 8am-4pm (otherwise, I'm generally home all the time when I'm sitting, including weekends and the other two work days when I work from HOME yay! and can be home with your pup all day) - but because of this, I'm not a good fit for puppies or dogs who need a round-the-clock person at home, sorry!
