Pet care experience

Owner away? I walk, sit, and stay!

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.

House Sitting • Aug 24, 2026

We used Erin for the first time for a weekend overnight sit for our two cats and she did a great job. She was in communication with us throughout the weekend and provided us photo updates. Everything went very smoothly and we're grateful Erin gave us peace of mind while going out of town knowing our cats were being cared for!

Erin is awesome! She took great care of Pipinha while we were on vacation. Even though our cat is very shy, she quickly felt comfortable with Erin. P.S. Erin is also a great photographer! The pictures she took of our cat were much better than the ones we took! 😀

Erin was great to work with. She was able to get together same-day for a meet and greet with a drop in the next day. I plan to book with her again!

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
