Your pets are my passion 🫶

Pet care experience

I am so fortunate to have always had pets growing up. Dogs, cats, rabbits, hedgehogs, alpacas… I have been taking care of family pets since I could walk! And for that I am grateful, as it’s turned in to one of my biggest passions in life. I have experience tending to and taking care of my friends and loved ones pets, as well as my own. I currently have a German Shepard, border Collie & three cats. These five are my absolute world! There is nothing I wouldn’t do for them. Most of my time is spent exercising and training my own dogs and taking care of the cats needs, and you will never catch me complaining about that! I understand how important it is that your pet receive the best care, and am confident in my ability to deliver on that. I am excellent at following instructions, even if you feel like you’re being painfully specific. That’s okay! I want your pets to feel as comfortable with me in their routine as they would with you. I would have a difficult time trusting a stranger to look after my pets, so I empathize with any stress you may feel agreeing to have someone take care of yours. Rest assured that any instructions you have for me will be followed to a T. I’m sure you can imagine that growing up with animals my entire life, I’ve had my fair share of experience in dealing with their health issues, from giving needles to hiding pills in their treats. Needles aren’t my favourite thing ever, but if your pet needs it, they’ll be getting it. Your pets safety and health will always be at the forefront of my mind! I understand how important these critters are to you, and I promise that they’re important to me too. Thank you so much for reading my little “I don’t know your animals yet but I already love them” rant! I look forward to hearing from you. Feel free to reach out to me with any questions! Erin. xx

Erin was great. Friendly, flexible and dedicated to making our dog feel comfortable and safe. I can't think of anything that could have been better. Would definitely recommend.

Erin was instrumental to our stress free family vacation. We had recently whelped a litter of 7 border collies, who were 6 weeks old at the time. Erin cleaned, organized, and took EXCEPTIONAL care of Mama Paisley, Senior Citizen 11 year old Tyson berner collie, 7, 6 week old puppies, a beta fish, snail and a tempermental cat. Erin checked in with us often, kept an open line of communication and made us feel so comfortable being in another country. We are looking forward to having her back again! I dont think we'll ever be able to go on vacation again without the security of having Erin in our home!!!

Safety, trust & environment

Pets who get to spend some time in my home will be warmly welcomed by my 2 of my 3 cats (one likes to hide), they will be provided with clean drinking water for the duration of their stay, and lots of hugs, snuggles, and play time. Again, most of my time is spent playing with my own pets, so yours will fit right in! Although I aspire to have a fenced-in backyard one day, today is not that day. Lots of space to run and play, lots of trails to explore behind our home, but no fence. My dogs are trained to be on and off leash depending on what the situation calls for, and I am comfortable walking your dog on a leash or allowing them to run freely around the yard when we have reached that level of comfort with eachother. I live on a quiet road, and the backyard is a good distance from the road. One of my dogs was hit by a car when I was very young, and it has always stuck with me. Never again. I would never do something to jeopardize the safety of your pet, so I understand if my lack of fence is a red flag! Pets who I get to visit in their own homes can expect me to follow all of the same rules as their owners would. I believe it’s important to maintain their routine as much as possible to insure their comfort. Don’t get me wrong, lots of play and love time too! But I wouldn’t do anything that you, as the owner, wouldn’t do.

Information Erin S. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your pets have any special needs, or any behaviour issues that will need to be addressed. I’m so excited to meet them!

A typical day

I love keeping dogs physically and mentally stimulated. I like to spend time with my own dogs going for walks on local trails, strolling through local parks, hiking through the woods or teaching them new tricks, so of course I would love to do the same with your dog! It’s important to have their brain and body properly exercised, daily.
