Pet care experience

I do it for the fur babies! 🫶🏽

I've been caring for animals for about 12 years now. I've worked in animal careers such as daycare, veterinary offices, animal shelter, pet supply/nutrition, grooming salons, walking services, and foster work in the DMV area. I currently live in Silver Spring with my 12 year-old cockapoo Aster, 6 year old cockerspaniel Monty, my cats Szutt(Soot) & Smudge they all get along with other cats and dogs! We are new to Silver Spring as of 2021 , we moved from Navy Yard , but we have lived in the DMV since birth, Mainly DC-Capitol Hill. I also have a car if pick up and drop off is needed. Anything I can do to make to make your pets experience smooth and easy ! Very happy to help out around town, we hope to meet you soon ! PS~ I am vaccinated against Rabies & COVID-19, my fur babies are up to date of all of their vaccines as well ;)

Erin was great with Albert and easy to coordinate with. She came over a week before to meet Albert and walk with us and she was prompt and attentive when it was time for her to stay with him. The house was in great shape after she left and Albert was happy. Thanks again, Erin!

Rin was great! She really came through for us in a pinch and I could tell how passionate she is about animals. She took great care of Hudson and our home!

Last year Rin made the wedding of our dreams possible! She picked our pup up from a friend's house, brought her to our wedding (an hour away), watched and handled her until we were ready to take photos, and brought her back to our friend's house. Rin was punctual, friendly, and a huge help! She was extremely reliable and communicative. I just realized I never left a review for her, but had to do it now because of how great she was! Thank you, Rin!!
