I'll be their new best friend!
Pet care experience
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.
Reviews
Erin always does an amazing job with Tater Tot!
Erin was great with our pups! She was flexible with setting up a meet and greet, and flexible with our pickup and drop off times. She sent multiple updates and pictures during our dogs stay with her, and they seemed like they had a good time!
Erin was wonderful for our boy Snider. She provided daily updates with photos, evening walks when it cooled off, and playtime with her pup Prince. She is super easy to work with for drop off and pick up times. She makes her (and Prince’s ) home welcoming for your pet and treats them as her own. Even though we do hate leaving our boy behind we know he is in good hands. We will definitely request her again to keep Snider in the future! We highly recommend Erin.
Erin is always amazing!!!

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 dog is very friendly and enjoys the company of other friendly dogs and cats! I have a huge yard with a privacy fence that is totally secure, even for small dogs.
Home
Information Erin O. would like to know about your pet
Does the dog get along well with other dogs, and other people? Is the dog thoroughly potty trained? Is the dog protective of food, toys, or people? Is there anything else I should know so that I may best accommodate your pooch?
A typical day
Your dog(s) and I will go on walks around your neighborhood, and to any nearby parks or nature areas! We love going to the dog park, if that is a good fit for your dog, we can take them. One of my husky Prince's favorite games is hide and seek, and he also loves performing tricks (for treats!) and playing fetch. He can come along for extra fun. Your dog will get plenty of exercize, cuddles, belly rubs, and lots of reassuring love and attention while you are away.

I work from home about half of the time, so I’ll have plenty of time to play with your pups! Keeping my dog entertained, happy, & healthy is a huge daily priority for me.
