    "Erin has been fantastic. We contacted her to plan for a weekend with our pup. She was so thorough in her questions, clearly wanting to make our weekend getaway also fun for the pup left behind. She came for a meet and greet and then for a planned walk in advance of our trip. She took extra time and Chloe was very happy. We feel lucky to have made this connection and are 100% comfy leaving Chloe in Erin’s care."

    "Absolutely incredible! Daily updates with pictures included. She even got our babies a toy to play with. Will absolutely be using her again in the future!!!"

    "Erin is absolutely wonderful! She spent a long weekend with our two fur babies and we couldn’t have been happier with her service! She was a great communicator and took wonderful care of our babies! She also left our house better than when she got there! Couldn’t have asked for anyone better. We felt so relaxed knowing our pups were in good hands!"

    "Erin is the best!! She’s kind, responsible, completely dependable and genuinely loves caring for pets. She’s also resourceful and capable of handling any situation that could arise. Highly recommend!!"

  • A black and white cat sitting on a wooden floor in a room with toys in the background.

    "I’ve known Erin since we were both kiddos. For as long as I can remember she’s always been an animal lover. She’s got two wonderful rescue dogs, and we’ve relied on her multiple times to care for our pet when we’re away. This is a person who puts animals first. I can’t imagine someone more suitable for pet care."

  • An older brindle-colored dog lying on a pink furry pet bed on a dark wooden floor.

    "Erin loves animals, with a special place in her heart for dogs. She understands the connection between a "parent" and their pet and takes on the job of caregiver with a sense of mature responsibility. Erin has taken care of our 10+ yr old dog many times. He requires a great deal of patience and time. She has administered medications and taken him on the long slow walks he requires to stay happy."

    Ceil O. , Dog Walking

  • "Erin was awesome with my little guy. They became fast friends. She was very respectful of my home and sent pictures every day I was away. I recommend her highly and without reservation."

    "Erin is so attentive, considerate, responsible, and experienced. My pup is so happy to see her and spend time with her, and I have peace of mind knowing she is well taken care of by Erin. Highly recommend!"
