Safety, trust & environment

I believe that a dog whose needs are met, is a happy dog! I cater my care based off of breed, temperate and personality. If you have a shepherd, I’ll take them on long long fast paced walks. If you have a retriever like myself, I’ll play fetch until they are satisfied. Additionally, canine enrichment has become a hobby of mine. I’ll find new and unique ways to keep your dog entertained, enriched and fulfilled!

Information Erin R. would like to know about your pet

I always ask that you disclose any dogs in the neighborhood that you are sure your dog is friends with. However, if you feel more comfortable, I will make sure not to have any dog interactions.

A typical day

A typical day includes an early morning walk (especially in the summer to beat the heat), followed by breakfast (with enrichment games), chilling out either in the house or outside. One walk in the middle of the day to get some sniffs in. And then, finally a long afternoon walk involving some brain stimulating activities.

Erin is the first person I’ve used with River & I couldn’t be happier! Erin has been great taking my dog, Bruce, for walks. She’s on time & very communicative, I love seeing the pictures after she’s done. I’m a big fan, but I think my dog might be a bigger one! Highly recommend!

Erin was amazing - Posy can be a bit shy initially but did a great job making her feel safe.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
