Erin Grua's Experience

I’m a professional dog trainer with over 6 years of hands-on experience working with dogs of all breeds, sizes, and temperaments. My background includes working in structured environments like dog daycares, boarding facilities, and kennels, which has given me extensive knowledge of canine behavior, group dynamics, and individualized care. I now offer expert pet sitting services in addition to private, in-home training. Whether your dog needs daily care, overnight sitting, post-surgical support, or structured training reinforcement while you’re away, I bring a behaviorally informed, safety-first approach to every visit. I’m experienced with administering medication, following detailed feeding or enrichment routines, and supporting dogs with anxiety, reactivity, or special training goals. Puppies, seniors, high-energy dogs, and special-needs cases are all welcome. With flexible scheduling, professional experience, and deep canine knowledge, I aim to provide peace of mind while offering your dog the highest standard of care.
