I miss my dog, can I care for yours
Pet care experience
Hi! My name is Erin. I am 35 years old and have been lucky to grow up with dogs all of my life. As a child, my best friend was a chocolate lab named Coco who was my student when I played teacher and my headrest when I needed to cuddle. Coco lived for 16 years which is incredible. Then came Shea. I didn’t think I could ever love a dog the way I loved Coco, but Shea proved me wrong. After having Shea for 3 years, my family got his half brother, Mookie. Unfortunately Shea’s life was cut short due to a mass that erupted but Mookie is still kicking at age 13 even blind and deaf. I moved out of my parents and I miss him so! This brings to me to Rover. I can’t own a dog in my apartment so why not care for yours? From my own personal experience of owning a dog, I worked a short time at a groomer, and spent years dog walking and dog sitting friends, friends of friends, etc. If you can’t tell, I love dogs. I’ll treat yours like my own. I’m the type of person who instantly gets distracted by a dog. A human could be right in front of me having a conversation and once that dog turns the corner, it’s all over.
Reviews
Erin was amazing! My regular walker was injured and Erin quickly jumped in. My puppies loved her and she was so good with them. Definitely will be utilizing her again.
Erin is great! Nala recently had a surgery on her leg and I need someone that’s experienced and I can trust when walking her. I 100% trust her with my pup! She is also very caring and easy to communicate with. She responds quick and updates with pictures. Will 100% recommend.
We knew Erin loves and has always been great with dogs so when we had a day-trip planned we asked her to come watch our new puppy, who is large and was still learning basic commands and how to walk on a leash. Erin took him for a walk, played with him in our fenced in yard, and fed him for us, and he was worn out and happy when we got home! I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a caring, fun, and responsible companion for their dog!
My husband and I could not be happier with the care that Erin provided to our two Brittany spaniels. We went away for an overnight trip and Erin agreed to stay at our home while we were away. She took care of everything, including feeding them breakfast and dinner and taking them on long walks each day. Brittanys are high energy dogs. Erin was able to tire them out and keep them entertained while we were away. She reached out to us whenever she had questions and left our house in the condition that we left it. We absolutely recommend Erin to care for your dogs and will definitely be using her services in the future.

Unfortunately I can not provide my own apartment to take care of your pet, but I am flexible with what your home provides. If you prefer me to walk around the block or if you have a fenced in yard to play.
Information Erin R. would like to know about your pet
No breed preferences but please let me know if your dog is aggressive. I am unable to work with dogs who are aggressive, meaning that they bite.
A typical day
Walks in the backyard, around the block, we can even hop in my car and go to the park! Whatever you want. Provide me with toys and we’ll play tug-o-war or catch too!

Availability
I work full-time as an educator so I am only available for drop ins and walks after 3pm Monday through Friday. My weekends are much more flexible as I am potentially available for overnights as well.
