As someone who works from home most days, I have the flexibility to give your dog all the attention they need—including frequent bathroom breaks and daily walks along the beautiful Lady Bird Lake! Living close to the lake and surrounded by Austin’s many parks, I can ensure your dog gets plenty of outdoor time to run, play, and explore. Since I’m already walking by the lake every day, bringing a furry friend along just adds to the fun! Whether it’s a casual stroll or an energetic play session, your dog will have an adventure-filled day while you’re away. Let me make sure they enjoy Austin’s outdoor beauty to the fullest!!

Safety, trust & environment

While I live in an apartment, I have plenty of space to comfortably crate your dog if needed, with options in the living room or entryway. Located near Lady Bird Lake and several parks in Austin, your dog will have ample opportunities to run around and enjoy the outdoors. I treat every dog with the same care and love as my own, and I’m committed to respecting your home too. You can trust me to leave your space exactly as I found it, ensuring your dog feels safe, happy, and well-cared for.

Information Erin S. would like to know about your pet

Please share an updated picture of your pet’s vaccinations. If you could also let me know if your dog or cat has a particular diet or if I need to limit treats for any reason. I’d also like to know in advance if your dog requires a crate so I can make sure to clear space in my apartment.

A typical day

I love getting dogs out to get some exercise by playing fetch, going on a walk/hike, or playing games in the fenced dog park outside my apartment. If your pup likes to cuddle, they will be allowed on my bed and we will have infinite amounts of snuggle time! Whatever your dog prefers will be my go-to activity!

Pet care experience

With nearly four years of dog-sitting experience, including caring for my own childhood pup, I understand the importance of trust and personalized attention when it comes to your pet. Working from home allows me the flexibility to offer care while you’re at work or enjoying time with friends. Whether it’s playtime, walks, or just some company during the day, I’ve got it covered! I’m experienced with senior dogs, ensuring they get the medications they need on time, as well as sticking to special diets when required. From puppy energy to senior snuggles, I treat each dog like they’re my own, providing the love and attention they deserve. Let me give you peace of mind knowing your dog is in safe, capable hands!

Erin was wonderful with Roux and super communicative. She sent me photos and updates so I could make sure Roux was having a great time! Would book again for sure. :)

I highly recommend Erin. She was fantastic with my pup Eloise. I was nervous to leave her since I never do, especially with her medical needs, but Erin quickly eased my anxiety. She took wonderful care of Eloise and kept me updated with plenty of great texts and photos. Erin was patient with her stubborn moments and made sure she got her medications, ate well, and enjoyed her walks. I could tell Eloise was truly cared for, and I would happily book with Erin again.
