Meet The Team!
Erin H.,
Founder, Pet Care Professional & "Boss Lady"
Erin's first love has always been animals. Her late father is a huge inspiration for why she chose the pet care industry, as she gets her passion and love for animals from her father's example. As a former craft cocktail bartender in the fine dining industry, taking the leap to the pet care profession has allowed her to apply the love she had for providing exceptional experiences and exceeding the expectations of her guests to a different industry, and now for both people and pets!
Erin grew up with a total of 8 Basset Hounds, raised an American Bulldog puppy, cared for her rescue dog, Skippy, with her mom into his senior years of 16 1/2, and in 2018 fostered and ultimately adopted a pair of loving sisters, a German Shepherd, Rae (who sadly passed away after a long fight in 2022), and a Pomapoo, Finn, who is just as sassy as ever!
She has been inspired by dogs of many different breeds, personalities, ages, and sizes, allowing her to easily adapt to pets with many different needs. She now resides in Baltimore County with her husband, Dave, who generally also becomes BFFs with all of the dogs when they board at her home!!
Erin holds certifications in Pet CPR/First Aid and Pet Nutrition, has taken a master class in Dog Socialization and Obedience, and is a "NAPPS Certified" member of the National Association for Professional Pet Sitters.

Stephanie A.,
Pet Caretaker Since 2023
Stephanie is a digital marketing specialist for small businesses, and the owner of Opal & Sage Consulting. A Staten Island native, she currently resides in a suburb of Baltimore with her husband. Stephanie grew up with a terrier mix, named Joey, and later a bulldog mix named Lily, through whom she learned lessons about compassion and what it means to truly care for others. In recent years, Steph cared for her husband's childhood cat Izzy, who taught her about the profound positive impact that animals have on your mental health. Izzy passed in 2022 after health issues in his old age, and she misses him dearly!
She strongly believes in approaching each animal with love, compassion & understanding. She loves dogs and cats of all breeds and sizes, and appreciates their unique personalities, and feels a great responsibility to all pets that she cares for!
In 2015, she graduated from Towson University with a degree in Art History, and in 2019 received her Master's Degree in Emerging Media from Loyola University.

Beth W.,
Pet Caretaker Since 2024
Beth is a digital copywriter who works from home in the heart of Towson, Maryland. She came to her love of dogs later in life when she helped "co-parent" her roommate's adorable French bulldog Frank in 2016. This sweet chunky boy helped her see how smart and loving pets can be and what a delight it is to have one in your home.
In 2018, her family adopted Ember, a German Shepherd/husky/mystery mix. This pup became the new obsession for a family that had never had a family pet before! Beth's experience helping Ember through puppyhood helped her appreciate the patience and compassion needed for pets. Forming relationships and building trust between animals is so special, and getting to see each pet's personality come through is so fun!
Beth is a 2015 graduate of the University of Rochester. She loves traveling to visit friends, baking desserts, and buying used books. Beth loves getting to know each dog or cat for who they are and doing her part to be a positive part of each pet's day.
Hannah H.,
Pet Caretaker Since 2026
Over the years, Hannah's love for animals has led her to work with many dogs, a handful of cats, two hamsters, and a partridge in a pear tree…. just kidding about the partridge, but she does have experience with birds! While helping care for such a wide variety of animals, a desire to leave the 9-to-5 office lifestyle quickly grew. Her only challenge was figuring out which direction she wanted to go.
She found her answer the day a friend of a friend asked her to dog sit for Copper and Sierra, two very fearful reactive dogs. It took a little time to achieve, but the fulfillment and joy of being able to finally pet and leash both of them was unmatched. The only thing better than that was watching them truly decompress and begin to reveal their quirky personalities.
With her mind made up, Hannah pursued coursework through the Animal Behavior Institute, which gave her a deeper understanding of canine behavior, training, and enrichment, with a specialization in L.I.M.A. techniques. Along the way, she has had the opportunity to work with high-drive, high-energy breeds as well as fearful and reactive dogs. She is also no stranger to canines with medical needs, including dogs with hind leg paraplegia and seizure conditions.
Hannah is THRILLED and very much looking forward to helping care for your beloved pet companion!
