Walks & Jogs: I am available for morning walks and jogs in Indio and La Quinta between 6:00 and 7:00 a.m. and evening walks and jogs after 7:00 p.m. (excluding Wednesdays.) Boarding: We are available for boarding on select dates. Please note that I work remotely at home on Mondays and Fridays, and in Rancho Mirage Tuesday-Thursday. My fiancé, Alex, works from home full time and he also will be available to help care for your pup. Please work with us to coordinate drop off and pick up times that work for your schedule and ours. We do not have animals of our own and we are looking forward to caring for your dog while we wait to adopt our own. Our house is in a gated community and has a fully fenced yard! The backyard is undergoing renovation, but is great for quick potty breaks. Our neighborhood has three grassy parks for your pup to enjoy. Our house has a long hallway that is perfect for indoor fetch. We are young and active and would love to take your dog on neighborhood walks and even jogs if they are able and willing! Heat Exhaustion Prevention: No walks between 10am and 6pm on days over 100 degrees. Our current available dates are between: June 2 - June 10 July 7 - July 14 July 29 - August 1

Information Erin M. would like to know about your pet

Please inform me in advance of any medications your pet is taking. It’s important that I know their bad habits- will they try to eat out of the garbage, chew my shoes, try to escape the yard? I will only work with pets that can be left alone safely for 3-4 hours.

A typical day

I’d love to know your pet’s favorite pastimes. Some pets love to cuddle and watch TV with me, some want to play fetch all day, others like to watch and smell while I cook a meal, some like to go out and sniff a new section of the neighborhood. I will try to make every day a little different for them.

We appreciate all that Erin & Alex do for our Tobi! They continue to remain his primary sitters! They are always communicating with us, sending videos and updates. It always helps us to feel at ease! Our little guy always enjoys his time with them and his mama’s appreciate that! Thank you both again & see you next month!

Erin and Alex were amazing sitters for my pup, Phoebe. She can get a bit anxious but she immediately warmed up to both of them. Erin kept me updated throughout the stay with photos and texts. She was extremely professional, caring, and took extra special care of my girl. Phoebe was right at home when I arrived to pick her up and I could tell she had been well cared for.

I had to make a last minute booking for our pup Charlie, and Erin was not only responsive and but accommodating. She sent me updates regularly during Charlie’s short stay and made sure she was comfortable and cared for. Charlie went in a happy pup and came back a happy pup. Thank you again Erin for making Charlie’s stay a relaxing one!
