Responsible, reliable pet lover!

Pet care experience

If I was a dog, I'd be a lab! I'm extremely loyal, hard-working, kind and a little goofy. I've had pets my whole life and currently own a large Pomeranian. I've also owned Shiba Inus, so I'm very used to stubborn, high-energy breeds. During my 5 years as a Rover sitter, I've gained experience with puppies, senior dogs, and dogs that require medication or belly bands. I also grew up with a lot of cats of varying personalities and am open to caring for exotic pets as well. I have a reliable vehicle and I'm very communicative. DROP-IN VISITS- I'll spend 30 or 60 minutes with your pet to feed, walk, play, snuggle or any combination of those! I prefer to work with small-medium breeds, but am open to larger low-energy dogs, or any with a fenced-in yard. I schedule drop-ins during a 2-hour time range, but will do my best to accommodate your requested time. CAT CARE: If your cat doesn't need a full 30-minute visit, I offer 20-minute drop-ins at a discounted rate of $20. Please book a 30-minute visit and then I can manually edit the price. *Discounted service only available for flexible "any time" visits. Additional cat rates still apply. DOG WALKING- I am not currently booking for weekly consistent dog walks, however I'm happy to fill in for your regular walker or take on short-term bookings. I'm not comfortable walking dogs over 50 lbs. HOUSE SITTING- Because I have a dog of my own, I can only take on brief house sitting stays of 1-3 nights. My service includes overnight and AM care, a midday walk if needed, and a dinnertime visit before returning for bedtime. Depending on my schedule, I will also spend a minimum of 4 hours at the home in the morning, afternoon or evening to keep the pet(s) company so they're not alone the entire day. If your pet requires a full daytime sitter, additional charges will apply. Additional hourly rate for constant care or puppy care: $20/hour

Erin was great as always! She’s very communicative and attentive, and my babies are always well cared for and happy. Looking forward to booking with her again!

We are so glad we had Erin watch our 2 dogs. She is very professional, and kept us well informed. We really enjoyed the photos she sent. Our timid dog wouldn’t go in the kitchen to eat, so she brought the food to him in another room so that he would eat.😊 Would definitely have Erin watch our dogs again.

First time using Rover to find a dog walker last minute, and I could not recommend Erin enough!!! She was amazing with my little guy, Oliver. She communicated with me through the entire process made me feel comfortable allowing her into my home. Will definitely use her service again! Oliver can’t wait(:

My full-time job is owning a small sewing business, so I make my own hours and can usually plan business work around a pet's schedule.
