“Erin is absolutely amazing. On time, truly cares about my dogs, understands my recent rescue is still scared and needs kindness. Erin went above and beyond to keep me updated and sending me clear summaries and pictures. Both dogs love her.”

About: I have cared for and loved animals world wide- from pet sitting locally, providing food and water and kindness to strays along my travels, to volunteering at Australia Zoo. Since I was younger, animals have always held a huge place in my heart- rescuing farm kittens, dog walking for neighbors, and swerving to avoid hitting a frog with my bike. My love goes beyond our domesticated pets - I have volunteered at a wildlife rehab so I also do what I can for our local wildlife. And I’ve seen the good the bad and the ugly when I shadowed along side my best friend in Australia during her overnight emergency vet shifts. Providing comfort and love to animal, domesticated or wild, is a true honor. I am self employed as a Massage Therapist located in New Milford. I work Mondays-Fridays and typically start between 2/3:00pm and work until 8(ish). I work one Saturday a month and those hours vary- usually a 4 hour day. With owning my own business I can set my hours- when I have notice I can always schedule accordingly to the pet’s needs. When caring for my/your pet, I focus on maintaining their normal routine so they feel safe, comfortable, and secure. I take the time to learn each pet’s personality, preferences, and needs—whether that means playful engagement, gentle companionship, or giving them space. I ensure pets are fed on schedule, have fresh water, receive medication as directed, and get plenty of attention and affection. I keep litter boxes and living areas clean, monitor for any changes in behavior or health, and communicate updates and photos to owners for peace of mind. I treat every pet as if they were my own, with patience, respect, and lots and lots of love.

About: I’ve been surrounded by animals my whole life, growing up with both dogs and cats, which gave me a deep love and understanding of their needs. For the past two years, I’ve been pet sitting for clients, providing personalized care based on their preferences. I have experience with a variety of animals, including birds, kittens, puppies, dogs, and cats, and I’m comfortable administering medications when needed. Whether it’s playtime, cuddles, or ensuring pets stay on their routine, I’m passionate about giving them the best care possible! As a full-time student with classes spread throughout the week and a part-time job, I balance my schedule to ensure I can provide attentive and reliable pet care. My flexible routine allows me to accommodate pet-sitting needs, whether it’s daily check-ins, walks, or overnight stays. Caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy, so I make sure to prioritize their well-being while managing my academic and work responsibilities. I exclusively provide pet care services in my clients’ homes to ensure the best experience for their pets and mine. By caring for pets in their own home, I help maintain their routine and comfort, making the transition easier for them while their owners are away.

About: I’ve cared for dogs since I was young, dog-sitting for neighbors and people I know, and I’ve trained my own dogs as well, including my German Shepherd/Doberman rescue. I adore both big and small dogs and love taking high-energy pups on scenic hikes or runs. I prioritize safety, enrichment, and happiness, and I focus on building trust—dogs naturally seem to fall in love with our time together. I’m available most days for walks, hikes, and runs with your dog (rain or shine).I keep my clients local (within about 20 minutes) so I can stay flexible, dependable, and truly attentive. I provide care exclusively in my clients’ homes so dogs can stay comfortable in their familiar environment. I stick closely to each dog’s routine and prioritize safety, calm, and trust. I’m very mindful of both your dog and your home, and I focus on creating a relaxed, happy experience that dogs settle into easily.

About: I’ve been taking care of dogs and cats ever since I was a little girl. I got my first dog when I was 5 and I’ve been loving them ever since. When she got old, I was her main caregiver so I have good experience with senior dogs. I’m currently unemployed so dog sitting and walking and any other side hustles take up majority of my time. The rest of my time is spent traveling or creating art. I live close to a lake so I can bring your dog on many adventures! I love going for walks and hikes, especially with a furry friend. My yard is not fenced in so if you’re planning on boarding please keep that into consideration.

About: I’ve taken care of all different types of breeds across different ages for over 10 years. I’ve helped families with walking, feeding, playing and bathing dogs. I have a full time job working from 9am-5pm during the weekdays. I can help walking dogs in the weekends and after 5pm during the weekdays. I can easily crate dogs, take for long walks and spend quality time. Would prefer to take care for dog in their residence instead of mine.

About: Growing up, I had a Lab and then a Boxer and two cats. I've also helped my aunt at the doggie daycare she runs out of her home where she often has more than 10 dogs at a time. Everything from a Great Pyrenees to German Shepherds to Doodles to Yorkies. And it's always so much fun! The care I'll give your pets will really depend on them and their needs. There's a very large unfenced grass area behind my apartment building that would be perfect for walks or play. And there are multiple parks in the area too we could explore. At yours, I'd keep whatever their normal routine is. Whether that's taking walks, throwing the ball or just sitting and chilling and scratching butts. Their butts of course!
