Erin is absolutely incredible!!! We have two amazing pups, one who is a nervous, recent rescue. Our newer girl was struggling with a different walker, snapping and growling at each visit. Within minutes of meeting Erin, our little lady had clearly welcomed Erin into the fold. Erin is helping our girl to settle into life and gain more confidence with each walk! I would recommend Erin to anyone!!!!

Erin was super accommodating and communicative about the scheduling of Caleb's walks. Her knowledge of dogs - especially rescue dogs - is fantastic and she helped us get Caleb ready to go tohis new adoptive home where he was going to need to be walked instead of having a yard like here. Caleb sat by the door waiting for her and came back tired and happy. If I could give more stars, I would! Will definitely use Erin for all of my foster dogs!

I am extremely lucky to have Erin walk my dog. Erin has worked with rescue organizations in the Chicagoland area and has years of experience with a variety of dogs. She is very adept at managing dog behaviors and I feel confident that my dog will have a safe and enriching walk when he is with Erin.

I’ve known Erin for 13 years. Between the two of us, we’ve owned 9 dogs during those years. I often feel that no one loves or cares for their dogs the way I do, but Erin certainly does. Erin’s dogs are everything to her, and honestly, so are other other people’s dogs, too. Erin is an excellent reader of a dog’s behavior and easily understands when dogs are uncomfortable and apprehensive. Erin has handled dogs of all sizes and breeds and is adept at handling dogs with behavioral issues and navigating their unique needs. She is always extremely aware of her surroundings when walking dogs, especially those with reactivity issues. Erin has cared for my own dogs, and I trust very few people to handle all of the unique personalities and issues that my dogs over the years have had. Erin is truly a dog person and is extremely trustworthy and responsible.

Erin LOVES pets and would be an asset to help anyone with dog walks or pet visits. She pays attention to details and can read animals after running a dog rescue for over a decade! Anyone would be lucky to have her care for their pets.
