Safety, trust & environment

The care I provide would be specific to the animal and the owner’s preference. An energetic dog is in luck because I love long walks and other exercise! I’m also completely fine with relaxing if that best accommodates a pet who just wants some company. At home, my pet’s water is changed out multiple times per day. Bailey's food is measured to maintain a healthy weight, and she gets walked on the leash every day.

Information Erin O. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if there's anything I should know before meeting your pet for the first time. Thank you, and I look forward to meeting you all.

Friend of all animals ❤️

Pet care experience

I currently have one pet: a 5-year-old Beagle-mix named Bailey. My family had cats, dogs, and other animals as pets throughout my childhood, so I have always been around animals. I was a part of Service Learning in college and completed over 300 hours of service at a humane society in Florida for the program. As an advanced handler, I completed specific training for handling larger dog breeds and successfully bonded with and helped train dogs of all sizes. In addition to caring for cats at the humane society and having cats as pets, I also have experience caring for feral colonies and participating in a TNR (trap and release) program to vaccinate, spay/neuter, and provide other medical treatment to feral cats. From the timid animal who needs a gentle approach to the wild pet who just needs some exercise, I’ve experienced the whole spectrum. If you have questions or concerns, please feel free to reach out so I can help. Caring for animals is my passion, and I’m ready to care for your pet with confidence, patience, and love.

Thank you for watching over our Toshi. Erin took really good care of our baby while we were away and made sure he was brushed and played with him. Thanks so much

Erin took wonderful care of my cat, and my cat really likes her! She communicates promptly and always makes sure we are on the same page. I really appreciate her help.

Erin did a great job as always for our two kitties, including managing our high-energy younger cat while we were away
