Highlights
Pet care experience
I'll be their new best friend!
I am a professional musician and veteran pet sitter originally from Oklahoma and also from Nashville! I have been told I have a natural way with animals. I have been a huge dog lover all of my life and grew up with a beautiful Sheltie named Staunton. In 2010, I got my Siberian husky named Prince as a 2 month old puppy. He is still a bundle of wild and loving energy! Prince is supposedly now 11 years old, although nobody believes me :) He is a trained service dog and has been a therapy animal for many people. He is incredibly empathetic and intelligent, and yes, he talks. He gets along well with other dogs and cats. I believe in early socialization and consistent training, with an emphasis on positive reinforcement to encourage good behavior. I am experienced with behavioral quirks and trauma in dogs. Big fan of Cesar- it’s all about the way you interact with the animal. I am also experienced with elderly dogs, and can accommodate disabilities and administer medication. I am a certified volunteer at Bonaparte's Retreat, a local shelter that specializes in rehabilitating and rehoming hard-to-adopt dogs. I have owned several cats over the years as well. I have rescued and re-homed several homeless dogs, and trained them and acclimated them to their new homes. I would love to make your pets feel safe at home and loved while you are away.

Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I will care for your pets as if they were my own. I follow instructions carefully, and am experienced with administering supplements and medications. My beloved dog of 14 years passed away January 2025, and I have not yet gotten another dog. I do not watch dogs for multiple houses at the same time. Your dogs would have a ton of fun on walks, romping outside.
Ratings and reviews
Erin is the absolute best!.She takes care of our 3 pups with the utmost of care. Tending very carefully to each individual personality. She sends us the best updates that we love reading in tons of pictures. High level of attention to detail and care, she really pays attention and notices all the nuances.The dogs are well cared for, exercised and loved on. Would highly recommend Erin to anyone looking.
Erin was so great!!! She was easy to communicate with and sent tons of pictures and videos. I could tell she really gave our 2 dogs so much love and attention. She treated them like they were her own which I appreciate so so much!! I’d definitely recommend!
Erin is the best with our pups! She takes care of our 3 large dogs - each w their own individual personalities. We love how intuitive Erin is w them and how she has really gotten to know each of their needs and what they each like ( walks , ball etc ) She is great w them and excellent at remembering all the details and instructions- she has a fantastic memory w that kind of thing. The best part is all the updates we get daily , she sends photos, videos and the cutest little stories or snippets about what they are doing , that just lets you know she is paying attention to them and loving on them. We know we can rest easy when Erin is watching them which is huge . She is our go to gal!
We had an amazing experience with Erin taking care of our dog, Duke. The meet and greet went well, Erin was nice and easy to talk to, and I felt good about her taking care of Duke because he seemed to really like her personality, voice, and environment. Erin asked many great questions which also made me feel confident that Duke would be safe in any emergencies. I really appreciated how accessible it was to communicate to Erin (before / during / after my trip), and it was great to receive many text / picture updates each day. Duke is a 50 lb dog with high energy and anxiety so Erin was very attentive to those needs and made sure that he received a lot of time exercising every day with hikes and exploring new areas. It was also great that she picked Duke up and dropped him off at my place, it made my traveling to / from the airport much less stressful. We will 100% re-book with Erin, and highly recommend her to take care of your furry loved ones!
Erin was amazing! She spent tons of time playing with our two very energetic aussies, even spending time playing fetch in the snow so they could burn some energy. She also took the time to understand the medical needs of one of our dogs, which gave us peace of mind while we were out of town. Erin was incredibly communicative and kept us informed with photos and updates. We would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and attentive sitter!
Erin was great with Rowan! She showed up on time was very communicative and sent pictures! We had a great experience with her watching him and our home. Rowan is still in training and she followed his rules and worked with him to continue his training! We will use again and you will be happy with Erin, she is great with dogs!

Schedule
I work from home most of the time, so I’ll have plenty of time to hang with your pups! I take afternoon or evening errands for a couple to few hours, up to few days a week. I’m typically able to provide frequent potty breaks! Keeping your dog happy, healthy, & entertained is my top daily priority.
