Erin was a life saver this week! With my husband out of town for a week and me with my hands full with a three year old and baby, getting out to walk our energetic and LOUD husky was going to be a challenge. Erin was always right on time and such a great communicator. I liked and trusted her immediately and Aurora Dog warmed up to her right away as well. She started waiting at the door for her in the morning. Thank you so much Erin!

About: What sets me apart is my genuine love for animals and the responsibility I bring to every pet I care for. I’ve grown up around pets and currently have a rescue terrier mix named Benji, along with three cats, so I understand that every animal has their own personality and needs. I’ve spent a lot of time dog sitting, walking dogs, and caring for pets for family members, including my grandparents. I’m also currently helping train a puppy, which has given me experience with patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement. I’m comfortable caring for puppies, adult dogs, and senior dogs, and I’m happy to follow any routines or special instructions to keep your pet comfortable. I treat every pet like they’re my own and focus on making sure they feel safe, loved, and well cared for while you’re away. With plenty of trails near me, I can also provide fun, active walks for dogs who enjoy getting outside and exploring. Pet care fits well into my schedule because I have a flexible routine and genuinely enjoy spending time with animals. I currently work at a dog-friendly business where I interact with dogs regularly, and I make time throughout my week to provide reliable care for pets. I’m available for walks, drop-in visits, and pet sitting throughout the week, including mornings, evenings, and weekends. I can also accommodate overnight stays when needed. Whether your pet needs a quick check-in, a long walk, or extra attention while you’re away, I’m committed to making sure they receive the care, exercise, and companionship they deserve. I always strive to make pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their owners are away. In a client’s home, I follow their pet’s normal routine as closely as possible, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medications if needed, and any specific instructions. I know that keeping pets on their usual routine helps reduce stress and keeps them happy. I also make sure pets get plenty of attention, affection, and exercise based on their individual needs and energy levels. Whether that’s going for walks, playing with toys, or simply spending quality time together, I treat every pet as if they were my own. Communication is important to me, so I provide updates and photos to help owners feel confident that their pets are receiving excellent care while they’re away.

Kristine does a great job with my dog. He can be stubborn or get scared on walks and want to go home. If that is the case she will stay and play with him in the backyard. But she also gets creative and communicates with me on strategies to get him to walk and it has worked. Overall great communication and very timely. Would recommend her to walk or care for your dog.

About: I’ve grown up around dogs all my life, from big to small dogs, old and young, even disabled dogs. Taking them on walks has always been a cherished memory of mine. Plus I work at starbucks giving out pup cups for the cute dogs on a daily!! 😊☕️🐾 I work as a shift supervisor at starbucks. My schedule is given to me 3 weeks in advance, my shift times varying throughout the week. I’ve been working more in the morning recently with some closing shifts (ex: 3-8:30pm) sprinkled in there. I can always make time to walk some pup though! Although I don’t have any dogs myself anymore, I constantly am going on walks with my friend. She has a lovely golden doodle and got a puppy recently, she’s a fun new addition to our routes! I also walk the dogs at my mother’s work to keep them healthy.

About: I have had pets my whole life and have such an unconditional love for animals. I had 2 sphynx that I cared for and loved like my children. July, 2019 my female sphynx went into heart failure. After being told she would likely not make it, I was devastated. I refused to stop fighting for her. As she spent 6 days in ICU,she fought so hard and it was a blessing that I was able to bring her home. Filled with excitement about her coming home also came fear. I was given a bag of medication I was responsible to dispense and I have never done that before. I also had her litter brother that I immediately got tested for heart disease and it came back positive and was placed on preventative medication. For the last 11 months I have been a cat mom and a caregiver to every need. Administering medication 2x or more daily, strict diets, schedules and multiple appointments. Unfortunately my baby girl crossed the rainbow bridge on Aug 1, 2019 and my sweet boy, May 4,2020. I remember how thankful I was to come to this site and search for people that were willing to help care for and love my cats. The peace of mind I was given to have someone care for them was a blessing. I never left them alone. Whether I was grocery shopping or going to work, someone was always caring for them. They were both given clean bills of health their whole life, they were given top of the line food and bathed weekly. I didn't miss a step to loving and caring for them. I provided and received such unconditional love. Knowing that no matter what I did, their HCM was silent, deadly and incurable. I would be honored to be able to provided a loving atmosphere for someones pet, as I grieve the loss of mine. I have administered medications , but do not have special training in it. I grew up around dogs and know getting their daily exercise is very important to their health. My husband and I just relocated to Michican, so my schedule is currently pretty flexible. We share the responsibilities of pet care and hope to help local families with pet responsibilities. I provide childcare for my niece so my availability is pretty open. Please message me with any questions about availability. My husband and I have a fur family of our own. We do everything we can to provide a comfortable life for them and shower them with love daily. Our pup is new to our family, so socializing him and training him for any and all life situations is our top priority. Educating him how to be with other dogs is very important to us.

About: I care for each pet as if they were my own. I walk, run and play with them. I treat every pet like a friend, offering comfort, attention and emotional connection. I bathe my dog about every other month. We have a routine in the morning with a walk before breakfast. Sometimes a walk around lunch time and another one after work is done. He is well loved and treated like a family member. I work full time Monday through Friday. I am in my office 3 half days and full time at home the other 2 days. I could stop at someone’s place on my way home to spend time with a dog and walk them. I can also stop over after work and later in the evening. In my home I have a fenced in yard that my dog can run free and play. If I am in a clients home I would make sure that there is nothing that the dog/puppy could get into after spending time with them/walking them.
