Pet care experience
I will provide exceptional care for your pets- experienced with all sized breeds/special needs. ***also love and am experienced bully breeds Puppy from 8 weeks: trained our family dog in my teens. He can perform 12 tricks with huge enthusiasm! 12 year old rescue spaniel: Adopted a very old, sick (due to previous neglect) beautiful girl who was partially blind and deaf. She settled with me for her last few years with plenty of affection and walks. Birthed Bully Crossbreed: When living in Costa Rica, I assisted a friends Bully who I had gained trust from during a difficult birth of 8 puppies (no working vets in the area) 3 were rejected by the mum so I bottled fed them round the clock and they all survived and went on to live great lives! My housemate adopted one- trained perfectly and he has such a calm and gentle temperament! 9yr old rescue: Super nervous but high energy pup was adopted by my parents and whilst I was living there we worked hard to receive her trust- 3 years on and she is very calm and happy! 3 week old large breed foster pup: Cared for a puppy that was rejected by mum in CR. Bottle fed him round the clock whilst working full time from home. I still receive pictures of him flourishing in the home I found for him and I’m so happy to see updates of his adult life !
Reviews
Erin is so friendly and my dog is so excited to see her after just meeting her twice!
Erin has always taken a responsibility for pets. She has owned guineapigs, cats and dogs over the years. She often is the sole carer for our 2 dogs and 1 elderly cat. She has experience with nervous rescue dogs. Our first rescue dog was an elderly spaniel, who was slightly blind. Erin was brilliant with her, showing her kindness and patience. Our 2nd rescue was from a puppy farm so had not lived in a house before. Erin was key in helping her learn to be toilet trained, be confident on walks, and in fact has been able to teach Nelly simple instructions so that Nelly can now sit and give her paw. Erin recently looked after a friend's 12wk old puppy and showed patience and resilience in spending so much time with such a lively puppy! she has experience in administering medicine to animals and can confidently give tablets etc. She has no issues with clearing up mess, and is happy sitting on the sofa for hours giving cuddles. She's the only person we'd leave in charge of our loved dogs and cat when we go away.

House-sitting: I regularly house-sit for a family friends 10 week old Dalmatian puppy! I tidy up after myself and cat/pup. I am very clean, respectful and will provide you with the peace of mind that your home is secure and your pets are happy and their needs are met.
Information Erin S. would like to know about your pet
I have 6 years experience with rescues. One being deaf and partially blind, requiring twice daily medications administered and extra support. My second, an incredibly nervous rescue spaniel who in addition is very energetic. With great attention and care she is now a thriving happy dog. I am very confident with handling and building trust with nervous/wary/special needs dogs and cats and am able to administer medication. Any special requests of care are accepted.
A typical day
I love to take the dogs that I am looking after to a variety of different walks to keep them stimulated. If you approve, taking them in my car to explore different walks is great fun for both the pups and myself.
