“Erin has been amazing with Gabbie! She took the time to stop by and familiarize herself with her and made her feel comfortable. Additionally, my requests to walk Gabbie were very last minute and she took no issue with that and communicated in a timely manner. If you need your pup walked, you should absolutely consider Erin first.”

About: I have cared for pets my whole life. Starting at a very young age with neighbors and family pets. My love for pets grow every day. I help humane society and other animal charities as much as possible, as it pains me to see ANY animal go unloved or cared for. I am reliable and loyal to all of my fur baby friends!🤗 I currently work for myself as a cosmetologist/hairdresser/makeup artist. So my schedule is very flexible. I have a lot of time to fill in between clients and days off and I look forward to you committing myself to your pet needs! I currently do not have a place to provide pet care at home but will be happy to meet your pet needs at your home or in your neighborhood for walking! I do drive so I can drive to dog parks as well!

About: Years of firsthand experience have equipped me with an innate understanding of dogs' needs, behaviors, and preferences, enabling me to create a nurturing and engaging environment for my furry visitors. Working from home allows me to seamlessly integrate pet care into my daily routine, ensuring that my furry companions receive ample attention and care throughout the day. With a flexible schedule, I can prioritize regular walks, play sessions, and feeding times to meet their needs. Whether it's taking short breaks for cuddle sessions or incorporating outdoor activities into my lunch break, your pup will never be far from my side. What sets me apart as a dog sitter is my extensive experience coupled with the ideal setup of a fenced-in backyard and my loyal canine companion. My backyard serves as a safe and stimulating space where dogs can play, exercise, and socialize under my watchful eye, enhancing their overall well-being and enjoyment during their stay. Having a furry companion of my own adds an extra layer of comfort and familiarity for visiting dogs, fostering a sense of camaraderie and companionship that sets my dog-sitting service apart from the rest.

“Stacey is the BEST dog walker and sitter! She treats my dog like she’s her own. She is so kind and loving, while she also works on consistency with the training I do with my dog. Stacey knows the various dog personality styles and needs well. She has a lot more skill to offer than your basic dog walker! She gives me regular updates about my dog’s behavior and informs me of new tricks my dog learns with her. She also sends pics and videos so I can enjoy their time together from afar. It’s so fun! I use her weekly and we really miss her between sessions. I highly recommend her!!!”

Erin has been amazing with Gabbie! She took the time to stop by and familiarize herself with her and made her feel comfortable.
