Every dog is "my type" if I can pet
Pet care experience
I've had dogs all my life and trained every one my family owned since I was 9. I've rescued and adopted 4 dogs and found a home for 3 more that I brought home over the years. While I will love any dog I meet, I do really well with big dogs and have the most experience with caring for dogs over 50 lbs (the smallest dog I've owned is a Lab/Pit mix and the largest was a 125 lbs rescue who probably had Great Dane in his history). I've also had dogs with injuries or illnesses before so I am capable of giving medication, cleaning wounds or sores, and adapting to any health issues/concerns that need special attention.
Reviews
Erin was kind and sent lots of photos - loved their detailed messages and will be booking with them again!
Erin is great, our little Ziggy was in safe hands with her. She has a lot of experience with dogs with a wide range of needs. She sent us photos and reached out if she needed anything. This was our second time working with Erin and would love to have her back!
Erin was absolutely fabulous! I HIGHLY recommend booking with them for all of your pet care needs. Ollie was a big fan!
Erin is a great sitter - they’re very responsible and responsive, take great care of my pets and of my home, and clearly care about the pets they sit. My dog was still recovering from being sick and my cat started having behavior issues right before I left on a two week trip. Erin kept me updated, handled additional clean up, and was great at describing behaviors. I felt very confident that my pets were in good hands.
About Erin S.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
My pronouns are they/them. I'm a very clean person and tend to tidy things on instinct, so I can be sure to keep things in good condition. I'm more than happy to groom pets daily and I can adapt to whatever routine your pet is used to in your home. I do prefer having written instructions somewhere if there are any special needs or requirements in your pet's care routine.
Information Erin S. would like to know about your pet
I'd love to know their favorite toy/treat/motivator so I know the best way to give positive feedback. If there are commands your dog knows that are important please list them. If there is anything that makes your dog nervous or afraid let me know so I can avoid those triggers if possible. Any health concerns or physical traits I should look out for also really helps.
A typical day
There are several dog parks in the area and if your dog is amenable to playing with others I'd love to walk to one of those, but I'm also fine with doing solo walks or just playing at home if they prefer not to interact with unfamiliar dogs. I love being able to play fetch or practice any tricks they already know (or try to teach some new ones by request from owner). I tend to talk to dogs a lot to get them used to my voice and also figure out what words they respond best to. And of course I love to pet and sit quietly with dogs while reading or doing coursework to provide them with contact and company.

Availability
I'm currently working online and taking classes, trying to find full time work, so my schedule is very open and adaptable. I can take long walks and be available any day of the week, at any time of day. If I'm staying over I just need wifi access to make sure I can do coursework while I'm caring for the pups.
