“Kaitlyn has been wonderful with our pups. We recently moved and she has jumped in to be a great fit with our dog Bowden easily and quickly. You can tell she has a real love for animals! Thank you for being so patient and wonderful with our furry baby!”

“Lindsay was amazing! She took my request last minute due to a family emergency and was so kind and accommodating. We had a great meet and greet, and she took wonderful care of my shy dog, Georgia. She sent great updates and made me feel completely at ease. Georgia really took to her, which says a lot. I would absolutely book with Lindsay again!”

About: Hi there! I'm Erin, a dedicated mother and lifelong animal enthusiast. With a heart full of love for all creatures great and small, I've spent most of my adult life volunteering, fostering, and caring for animals. From dogs to cats and everything in between, I've had the pleasure of nurturing and pampering a wide variety of pets. My journey into pet care started years ago when I began volunteering at local animal shelters and fostering dogs and cats in need. Over time, my passion evolved into a profession, and I've been providing top-notch pet sitting and dog walking services ever since. What sets me apart is the personal touch I bring to every interaction. As a mother, I understand the importance of family, and that includes our beloved pets. That's why I love nothing more than including my own children in our pet visits and walks. Your furry companions not only get the care and attention they deserve but also the joy of interacting with a fun-loving family. At home, our household is a bustling hub of activity, filled with the laughter and energy of children. Alongside my small and sociable Jack Russell Terrier mix and clever cat, we create a warm and welcoming environment for pets of all shapes and sizes. With experience caring for various breeds, including the majestic Great Dane, I'm well-equipped to handle the unique needs and quirks of different animals. Whether your pup needs a leisurely stroll around the neighborhood or your cat requires some extra TLC while you're away, rest assured they'll be in loving and capable hands with my family. So, if you're seeking reliable and compassionate pet care services that treat your furry friends like family, look no further. Because when it comes to your pets, they deserve nothing but the best! Pet care is not just a job for me—it's my passion and my primary focus outside of being a mom and pet owner myself. With my schedule wide open and dedicated solely to pet care, I have the flexibility to tailor my daily and weekly routine to meet the needs of both pets and their owners. Each day, I prioritize spending quality time with the pets under my care, ensuring they receive the attention, exercise, and companionship they need to thrive. Whether it's morning walks, midday visits, or evening cuddle sessions, I'm there to provide personalized care and companionship every step of the way. My wide flexibility allows me to accommodate the unique needs of each pet, whether it's administering medication, adhering to specific feeding schedules, or simply providing extra TLC for pets with special needs. I understand that every pet is different, and I strive to create a routine that caters to their individual preferences and requirements. By limiting my bookings, I can ensure that each pet receives the care and attention they deserve without feeling rushed or overlooked. Whether it's a one-time visit or a long-term arrangement, I'm committed to providing top-notch care that exceeds both pet and owner expectations. In essence, pet care isn't just a part of my routine—it's the heart of my daily life, and I'm dedicated to making sure every pet feels loved, safe, and cherished in my care. Your pet's comfort and happiness are my top priorities. With a spacious 3-bedroom home and a large playroom addition, we offer a welcoming and secure environment for your furry friend to feel right at home. Whether your pet prefers the familiarity of their own surroundings or enjoys exploring new spaces, I can be flexible and accommodating to meet their needs. In our home, your pet will have plenty of room to roam and play, whether they're chasing toys, lounging in cozy corners, or enjoying some quality cuddle time. I understand that some pets may feel more comfortable in their own crates, and I am more than happy to accommodate those preferences to ensure they feel safe and secure during their stay. Outside of our home, we love to explore and embrace the great outdoors, making long evening walks around neighborhoods or adventures in the woods a regular part of our routine. Whether your pet enjoys a leisurely stroll or prefers a brisk run, we're committed to providing the exercise and stimulation they need to stay happy and healthy. Whether it's a staycation in our cozy home or a familiar visit to yours, you can trust our family to provide the personalized care and attention your pet deserves. Because when your pet is with us, they're not just a guest—they're a cherished member of our family
