Highlights
Pet care experience
Intentional, experienced care!
My entire life, I’ve been that person that, within minutes of meeting someone’s pet, hears something like, “they usually don’t warm up to people like that!" Animals (& babies) have always been my thing. On top of growing up with a ludicrous number of cats plus one sweetie of a dog (who thought she was a cat lol), I’ve been dog walking and pet sitting on the side for friends, neighbors, and others for decades. I’m currently transitioning from being a career nanny to working from home part-time, so I’m looking for enjoyable side gigs that get me out of the house and moving!
Cat care experience
Erin also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Erin was awesome with mg dog Lucy, gave lots of updates and feedback which was great.
Erin was so great with Pepper and sent us lots of pictures and updates! She got lots of playtime and snuggles :)
Erin was amazing with Remy from strong and frequent communication to managing his many peculiarities (he loves to rip up a paper towel). Erin also was able to care for Remy when he was feeling sick and anxious to be away from me; will absolutely book again!
Erin was absolutely amazing! My pup had some medical needs that Erin took care of perfectly. Opal was so cared for and loved. I will definitely reach out to Erin in the future! :)
Erin was a great sitter for my dog while I was on a weekend trip. Communication was super smooth and prompt and I got lots of updates while I was traveling. I would definitely book with Erin again and recommend to others!

Schedule
I'm not available to leave home for gigs in the mornings (this doesn't apply to morning walks when boarding), but most of my afternoons and evenings are free! I do not have a vehicle, so you'll need to be accessible to me via walking or CTA from Logan Square.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I live alone with no pets, so my space is uncomplicated! It's not the largest space, but I do have a bedroom, living room, and large kitchen in a cool, garden apartment with direct access to outside (only a few steps).
A typical day
With dogs, I love taking them on sniffing adventures & playing fetch in the yard or at the local dog park. Please tell me what their favorite thing to do is! With cats, I love a good game of that-thing-keeps-poking-out-from-behind-that-other-thing lol. But of course, every cat is so very unique in how they like to play; so, I love figuring out what their individual thing is. And of course with ANY pet, I love a good cuddle & scritches session!

- I’m a pretty small person with some physical limitations, so unfortunately I cannot walk very large dogs (probably 100+ lbs). Please let me know about any tasks involving cleaning and/or lifting/carrying heavy things to check that I’m physically able to before we confirm.
