Pet care experience
I currently have two pets: an 11-year-old cat named Missi and 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.
Reviews
Erin took great care of our shy kitty! She provided great updates and we came back to a happy boy.
Erin is our go-to caretaker for our dog now. She goes above and beyond and is an excellent communicator. I cannot recommend her enough.
Erin was amazing! Aaliyah was well taken care off during her drop in visits and I got many during visits pictures and my girl looked so happy! 10/10 would book again!
I was a little nervous to try Rover for the first time, and we always hate to leave our cat at home who loves to be around people. Erin's photos and thoughtful updates gave us peace of mind while we were away. Thank you Erin!

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 and I bleach out my cat’s litter box almost every day. My dog’s food is measured to maintain a healthy weight, while my cat is able to pace herself and doesn’t need the same level of restriction. My dog, Bailey, also gets walked on the leash every day. The cat, Missi, gets cuddles every night.
