Pet care experience

I am a kind, compassionate, and caring individual who has grown up around dogs for most of my life including a Labrador Retriever and Beagle. Unfortunately, both have since passed but I am hoping to share my love, time, and attention with other animals who may be in need of a sitter, a walk, or just a drop in visit. I often serve as a sitter for family and friends while they are away and even lived with a veterinary medical student during my graduate studies; caring for her animals (i.e., cats, dogs, and exotics) while she traveled. I have some personal experience working with aging and medically complex dogs, as my Beagle had a rare form of cancer and required an increased level of care toward the end of his life.

Erin has a likable personality which makes it easier for pet owners to be confident in her ability to care for their pets. She is also willing to be flexible when pets needs change. Thank you, Erin. Walt and Tammy Goldie, Buster and Joan Jett

Erin was very communicative and provided our puppy with the attention she needed! Would highly recommend her for your dog sitting needs!

This was the very first time we've ever left our lab in the care of a sitter. Before we thought about checking Rover, we considered boarding June at our vet's boarding facility but we really didnt want her to be around other dogs since she's so skittish. We then checked Rover hesitantly but out of curiosity, we really weren't sure that we wanted a stranger in our home. We ran into Erin's profile and almost immediately we felt less hesitant. We, including June, our lab, met with Erin three times before our trip. (Definitely recommended, by the way) Erin was friendly, pleasant, and she just felt like a professional to us. June warmed up to her quickly, and i mean very quickly. Once we left for our trip we were comfortable knowing that June was in good hands. Then on Day 2 we were hit by a huge storm that knocked out the power at our house for 2 days. Erin went above and beyond for June to make sure she was comfortable in the house with no A/C. She moved June's crate to our family room downstairs where the temp was much cooler and even moved our "June Cam" down there as well so when the power did come on, we could check on June ourselves. Outside of that, Erin sent multiple pics of June to us every single day with updates as well. OH, and she even brought our mail in everyday even though we totally forgot to find someone to do that for us. Erin, thank you so much. From the bottom of our hearts we cant tell you how thankful we are for you and who you are. Thank you for loving our June while we were gone and for giving us invaluable peace of mind so we could enjoy our worry-free vacation even when the weather gave us plenty to worry about. God bless!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
