Loving, caring and adventurous!

Pet care experience

Hey, I’m Erin (yes, that’s how I spell my name even thought I’m a guy 😊). I’m a 30 year old photographer living in Southampton, and while I’m new to the Rover app, I’ve always been the “go-to sitter” for friends & family, plus a handful of recurring clients I’ve worked with over the last 2-3 years. I grew up with dogs my entire life, and I’m comfortable with all breeds and sizes. My last pup and best friend, Kaya, was a Samoyed/Akita mix, who sadly passed away about 4 years ago😔. But until adopting a new pup is feasible, I will happily ‘borrow’ yours while you’re on vacation, and treat him/her like my own until you’re back! Currently, I work 9-5 M-F, with decent flexibility on Fridays, so either way, I have full weekend availability and will be with your pup basically 24/7 while you’re away, and schedule permitting, I can work out earlier availability on Fridays if needed. I’m a hands-on sitter, and when I sit for a pup, I like to give them a fun & ‘special’ time while Mom & Dad are away (aka- LOTS of active play, long walks, and cuddle time) 😊. I’ve always trained my own dogs myself, and I’m happy to help reinforce training & good behavior throughout the sit. I’m also comfortable administering medication- just please mention any medical/behavioral issues when making your booking request, and definitely feel free to ask any & all questions you have for me. Also let me know if you’d like to speak with past/recurring clients of mine as references, and I’m happy to put you in touch. I know from personal experience that hiring a sitter for your fur baby can be a little nervewracking the first time, and you feeling completely comfortable is top priority!

Erin is the only person I trust with my dog. He is not only attentive and caring but it’s like my dog has a vacation too! He loves going for walks and jumping in the bay when he’s with Erin. I know when I leave my dog with Erin I don’t need to worry one bit. He treats my dog as his own and takes great care of him. Erin continuously sends updates and pictures to make sure we know how Rhalo is doing.

Erin is an extremely responsible, caring, and attentive dog caregiver. He is strict and tough while also being loving, gentle, and sweet. He can handle large, strong dogs and is able to maintain control over highly energetic dog breeds. I am convinced that my dogs listen to him better than they listen to me.

I’ve known Erin for years, and he is one of my closest friends and the only pet care provider I’d recommend more highly than myself! 😂 I’ve been a professional pet care provider in NYC & the Hamptons for over a decade, and when clients of mine reach out with requests and I’m unavailable/already booked for their dates, I refer them to Erin, saying “I’m genuinely as confident in Erin doing a fantastic job as I am in myself doing a fantastic job” (and everyone has always agreed!) 😊 Erin’s responsible, punctual, and communicative, and what’s most important is that he truly understands pups and he truly loves them! Even when I’m on a sit of my own and he’s stopped by to hang out, dogs are incredibly comfortable with him as soon as they meet him, and I’d say what puts them so at ease so quickly is that they can tell he’s extremely comfortable with them. Erin will not just take your dogs for their regular walks and give them adequate playtime- he’ll take your dogs on EXTRA walks, and play until they’re both exhausted, because he enjoys it just as much as they do 😂 Erin is a genuine animal lover, and he truly will treat your pups as his own while you’re away—that’s something I always aim to do myself as a sitter, and I know that’s what my clients value the most in me, and why they continue to book and re-book me...and why they book and re-book Erin when I’m unavailable 😉

Information Erin S. would like to know about your pet

Personally, I’ve always had big dogs, but I’ve got equal love for little ones too, so I wouldn’t say I have particular breed/size preferences. Any medical/behavioral issues are very important, and training-wise, I do like to know exactly the verbal/visual commands you personally use, cause not all trainers use the same hand motion for the same command, and I don’t want to confuse your pup or send him/her home with any bad habits lol!

A typical day

I have a fenced-in yard and on-leash walks around the neighborhood are perfectly fine, and when I’m sitting for a pup who is good off-leash/does it regularly, I love hopping in the car and going to one of the local beaches with a tennis ball or frisbee so they can really run around and have fun/get some energy out. There are some great trails out here too, and I love to hike so that’s another fun activity with off-leash pups (though that’s something i save for the colder months because the ticks are horrendous in the summer/early fall). Definitely make sure to mention if this is of interest to you when we speak, as I’ll never let a pup off-leash without discussing with the owner prior, and I can also fill you in on the particular locations I like to take off-leash pups (there are two beaches that are perfect for it because they’re a straight stretch down without any houses nearby and the landscape opposite the water is super steep, so they can only run up and down the beach where they’re in full view etc).
