Animal lover looking to help others

Pet care experience

I've had pets all my life (cats, dogs, fish, even a frog!) and did animal rescue for several years in Arizona- helping at adoption events, home visits, fostering kitties, a mama cat with 5 babies, & about a dozen dogs/puppies. I moved back to IL and am raising my 2 children and working from home. We have even rented baby chicks to help a local farm, so my kids understand pet care too. I truly understand how hard it is to find good, comforting help with pets and been there myself. I love all animals and currently have a senior female dog at home. I have proven to be a reliable helper to friends, family, neighbors, and even strangers. I've been able to save loose dogs and reunite them because of my calm demeanor with animals. I always love to give a hand to others and understand pets are family.

Erin is a great pet person, she takes care of her dogs like they are her kids !! She is always showing me pictures of her dogs and telling me about them and their adventures together !! I would recommend anyone to let her care for their dogs, she would treat them like family !!

I've known Erin for 25 years. She is honest, trustworthy, reliable and a longtime animal foster parent and pet owner herself. Any cat or dog that gets Erin to take care of them should consider themselves lucky.

My yard is fenced in completely and my senior dog is very nice and will help keep them feeling comfortable. I have extra crates if needed, depending upon the service needed. I am happy to drive a reasonable distance to help with yours. If overnight at your home, please note I'd need my kids to come with me when they are out of elementary school, but they are very respectful and well behaved animal lovers too. I understand pets are family and safety is important to me too.

A typical day

I love to get to know a pet by playing, giving affection and taking them on walks when appropriate to check out the neighborhood smells. If they love toys we can play and chasing a ball or Frisbee is fun too.

Availability

I currently work remotely from home and have some flexibility during the day after 8AM while working and often done with work by 4PM, some days earlier. I have some kid activities on weekends, but generally home and my dog here is very laid back, sweet, and tolerates the young pups even and still loves to outrun them even lol. I have availability most on weekends for walks, but can try to arrange things time to time. I can squeeze in let outs when not in meetings with clients. I would let you know if time doesn't permit before accepting.
