The Traveling Dog Lady
Pet care experience
20+ years of experience caring for animals of all kinds, including dogs, cats, birds, rodents, fish, and the occasional exotic animal. My experience with dogs ranges from large to small, all energy levels, untrained puppies and seniors requiring medications. I also have my own small dog named Forest Gump (pictured on profile) who comes with me on all of my overnight stays. He is 11 years old, about 30 lbs, Shiba Inu mix, fully house trained and loves making new friends! Over the years I have gained many valuable skills, from my work as an EMT and Security Guard to my work as a nanny and babysitter, or my years caring for seniors with dementia. Currently, I am loving life as a full-time pet sitter!
Reviews
We are so impressed and happy with her care on our senior dog with dementia. We have not been able to go anywhere because our dog needs constant attention, but now we found Erin, we feel like we can travel again! Her puppy Forest Gump is also the sweetest, and definitely motivated our senior dog to play.
My dogs loved Erin! Forrest is a sweet and mellow dog. The care and attention she provided was outstanding, making sure they had exercise, administered meds, and washed down the patio area. Highly recommend Erin and look forward to having car for my fur babies.
Erin is great! Very communicative, considerate, and easy-going. My partner and I had a 4-day trip planned, and decided last minute not to take our dog, Bean, with us. We were glad that Erin was available and ready to go on short notice, as we couldn't afford most of the other rates we came across. This was our first time leaving our dog with anyone overnight, but it gave us peace of mind to know that she was being taken care of in her usual environment. Erin's dog, Forest Gump, kept Bean company as well, and they hit it off immediately. It was comforting to receive picture updates of Bean while we were away, and to come home to find that everything was well-kept and cared for. We will definitely be reaching out to Erin again in the future.
Kind, communicative, and our dogs got along great!

Safety, trust & environment
Since my home is a small camper van, I am currently only able to offer pet sitting at the client's home. While sitting in your home, I do my best to care for and love your pets just as you would.
Information Erin R. would like to know about your pet
Basic things I like to know about any animal I sit: Special dietary needs, medications, favorite toys or games to play, any behavioral issues or training exercises you'd like me to work on. Anything that you think would be relevant or tips to make your pup as happy as possible while you are away.
A typical day
I love playing indoor/outdoor games and training exercises, as well as walks to the local park or hiking trails. Since this is my only job, I am available to stay with your dog 24/7 during home stays so they are never alone and get as many potty breaks as they need!
