Responsible & Caring Animal Lover
Pet care experience
I have grown up with animals my whole life and know that pets are special members of the family. I carry this with me when I am pet-sitting and extend the same care to pets that are not my own. With 25 years of experience pet-sitting and dog walking animals of all ages, breeds, sizes, and temperaments, I am a knowledgeable and reliable caregiver. Whether you have a high-energy pet who needs a playful partner or a nervous pet who needs an empathetic caregiver, I will support them with love and patience and ensure their needs are met. I hope I am given the opportunity to spend time with your furry friend! Additionally, as a photographer and artist, I would be delighted to capture memories of your sweet pet.
Reviews
We cannot thank Erin enough for helping us out with drop-in visits during a busy work week. She communicated well, arrived exactly when she said she would for each visit, and our pups clearly love her.
This was my first time using Rover in the area and I couldn't have been luckier. Erin is amazing! My dog is very shy around strangers and can take some time to warm up to new people. Erin managed his anxiety so well: she was attuned to his body language and created a safe and consistent atmosphere to build trust. I also work irregular hours and she was both incredibly responsive and accommodating. I can't recommend her enough.
Erin has been walking my German shepherd, Gita, for the past 5 years, and I cannot recommend her enough. Gita can be territorial and skittish with new people, but Erin's patience and empathetic demeanor quickly won her trust. Erin is one of the only dog walkers I trust to take care of Gita, and she has been absolutely invaluable to me. Additionally, I had the pleasure of hiring Erin to draw a portrait of my sweet pup, and I was absolutely thrilled with the result. The portrait was incredibly life-like and has become a cherished piece of artwork in my home. Thank you, Erin, for your exceptional care, talent, and dedication to Gita. You are truly a gem in the world of pet care.
Highly recommend! Erin is a trustworthy and reliable pet sitter who provided exceptional care for our cats while I was away. She is friendly, caring, and treats pets like they're her own. Our feline friends were happy and well-cared for in my absence. We even hired Erin to take family photos with our cats, which turned out beautifully! Will definitely book again!

Safety, trust & environment
I am not currently able to house pets in my own home, but am happy to spend time with your pet in theirs. I am responsible, detail-oriented, and excellent at following instructions. I will ensure that your pet and home receive the same level of care as you do.
Information Erin S. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your pet has any special needs or preferences. I have experience taking care of animals with a wide variety of needs — whether it’s complex medical regimens, special bedtime procedures, feeding preferences, or anti-anxiety routines, I will follow instructions carefully to ensure your pet feels safe and healthy.
A typical day
My goal is to fill your pet’s day with love, attention, and fun activities! If your pet is high energy, we will spend plenty of time exercising on walks or getting our “zoomies” out in the backyard. Throughout the day, I will ensure your pet receives plenty of cuddles, treats, and play sessions tailored to their preferences. Whether it's interactive games, puzzle toys, or simply lounging together, I will make sure your pet feels happy and comfortable. If your pet enjoys socializing, I am also happy to take them to dog parks for added fun and social interaction. Your pet's well-being and happiness are my top priorities, and I will make sure they have a pawsitively wonderful time under my care! :)
