I have a sweet four-year-old kitty named Minky. She is great with other animals (especially cats), and is very calm. If your pet is not comfortable with other animals or cats, I am happy to watch them at your place instead of boarding.

Information Erin S. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your pet has any special needs or favorite activities. I want to make your pet as comfortable and happy as possible!

A typical day

I love accommodating both high and low-energy dogs. Whether by playing a few rounds of fetch or lounging on the floor with your furry friend, I’ll make sure they feel well-cared for.

Pet care experience

Having grown up with animals and volunteered at the humane society, I have experience caring for a variety of canine and feline creatures, including those who need medication, training, and late-in-life care. I love enhancing a dog’s quality of life whenever I can by providing individualized care. I also really enjoy walking and grooming.

If not for Erin moving away we would not let her go :) Erin has been walking Harry every week for several months and Harry knows and looks forward to the days where he gets to see her! We appreciate her consistent care and patience with Harry, who is a sweetheart but can be reactive, and Erin has always handled him wonderfully. And I so appreciate the sweet notes and model shots Erin sends each walk! 100/10 rating!

My dog Harry and I have so far loved Erin and will be continuing to book her for walks. I know Harry loves Erin’s care and patience while he sunbathes, and I always appreciate the notes and photos she leaves on rover cards + appreciate her flexibility. Thank you!

Erin is an exceptional pet caregiver. She's not only responsible and considerate, but also truly passionate about animals and attentive to their unique needs, regardless of species. She cared for my fish, two cats, and dog with the utmost dedication, following my instructions with a great attitude and asking thoughtful questions when clarification was needed. When I requested updates, Erin enthusiastically sent photos and kept me informed about how everyone was doing. She went above and beyond to make sure each pet felt comfortable and loved: showering my cats with affection, walking my dog daily, and staying on top of my complicated fish-feeding schedule. Erin is now my go-to sitter, and I can’t recommend her highly enough!

I recently used Erin to look after my two cats, Luna and Oliver, for a week - Erin was super thoughtful and responsible. Erin genuinely cares about animals, and I felt completely at ease. Definitely asking for her services again !
