Pet care experience
I’ve been caring for pets of all kinds since I was 8. Growing up my family had dogs, cats and bunnies. My father is a Veterinarian, and I shadowed him during high school. I worked as a veterinary technician for 1 1/2 years at Arcata Animal Hospital and have lived on a farm with pigs, goats, dogs, cats and chickens for 3 years. I have extensive experience training animals and treating a variety of medical issues. My dad is always on call for medical advice!
Reviews
Wonderful! Erin was great!
Erin has been petsitting for my dog Kip since my partner and I first adopted him in 2020. As a nervous first time dog owner, Erin was always my first call when I was unsure about the mystery item our puppy had consumed and what our next steps should be. Erin always met my frantic calls with compassion and a calm tone. Those calls have diminished with time and confidence building, a large thanks to the support and guidance she provided me along the way. With Erin’s education in Wildlife and her experience working in animal clinics we’ve always felt that our pup was in the best hands. There is no doubt that Erin earnestly cares for our dog, it’s evident in their interactions and her interest in the details of his daily routine. She also is interested in certain behaviors we are working on and our training goals. This especially has been a relief knowing that when I'm away Kip's not getting away with things he shouldn't be and that his training is progressing. Long story short, Erin is reliable, responsible and knowledgeable, anyone would be lucky to have her watch their dearly loved pets!
Erin grew up in a household with a father who is a veterinarian. She also worked as a veterinary assistant for 1 1/2 years. She has solid pet care experience. She has a bachelors degree in wildlife from Cal Poly Humboldt and is currently employed as a fisheries biologist. She is mature and extremely conscientious. She has provided pet and household sitting in the past and exhibited solid responsibility. I believe she can be employed to provide these services with solid confidence.
Erin as a petsitter is the same Erin as a friend; kind, attentive, and caring. Having known her for 8 years, I've witnessed her sweetly and expertly care for animals, whether it be for an afternoon dog walk, feeding the various animals with whom she shares the property, or watching friends' pets when they've left town. She has been the top choice for watching my hyper Australian Shepherd. Your pet will also be in excellent hands with Erin!
