Loving Care When You're Not There
Pet care experience
Hello Everyone! I'm Erin, the Dog Walker Extraordinaire! I love animals, and it’s an absolute joy to be able to work with them. I’ve been dog walking and critter sitting for all sorts of pets, including exotics and farm, for 17+ years now. My years of experience includes working with pets who have special needs or who require extra care. Be it medical, energy or anxiety, I am happy to accommodate most requests! I’ve lived in Anchorage for most of my life, and I’m very familiar with the parks and trail systems. I’m also a full time, self employed graphic designer and web developer, so I have a very flexible schedule that allows me to spend more time with your pet(s). My goal is to make sure both you and your pet(s) are happy and comfortable.
Reviews
Erin was great! Reliable & wonderful with my dog. I plan on using her again. Highly recommend her to other families with dogs.
Erin was again an exemplary caretaker for my cat! She again exceeded my expectations, in caring for Ellington and our home. My cat, who is a friendly guy who values his time with humans above all else, was healthy and happy when we returned from our two week vacation. Erin sent us regular updates and was immediately responsive to any inquiries. I hope she continues to be available for this type of service in the future – she is kind, smart, responsible and amazing.
Erin went above and beyond in providing excellent care for my cat, Ellington. When we arrived home, we found him to be calm, happy and healthy. Erin followed our directions to the letter and provided daily photos and updates. Hope to have her provide care again the next time we travel!
Erin is great with my dogs and kept us up to date throughout the trip. Would highly recommend!

Safety, trust & environment
I'm ready for what ever your pets energy level is, fetch till I can't feel my arm? Got a Chuck-it for that. Jog down the street? I'll race you! Just want to cuddle or have belly rubs? I am a snuggle expert. Just want a slow, relaxing stroll? We can take in the scenery together.
Information Erin P. would like to know about your pet
I send out a questionnaire to all new clients covering everything from: • Any medications, or allergies your pet may have. • Your veterinarian’s contact information, and an emergency contact. • Your pets temperament, are they high or low energy? Are they a cuddle bug? Aloof king of the castle? • How your dog interacts with other pups, people, and critters. Do they have any anxieties, or behavioral quirks? • What commands your pet knows. Stay/Wait/Heel, Easy/Gentle, ect. I don’t want to confuse any pup! • For drop ins and sits, where can I locate food, medication, brushes, leashes, trash, treats, ect.
A typical day
Ball is life! To quote Rover, I can make fetch happen! I’m not afraid to get dirty, rough house and/or covered in fur. I'm also a very outdoorsy person, I love hiking, visiting the local trails, parks and neighborhoods with pups. On the other side of coin, I don't mind slowing things down, just giving tummy rubs and head pats all afternoon.
