Meet Our Team

Hi, I’m Dr. Erin, and I’m so glad you have found Comfort @ Home! 

At-home veterinary care has been my passion for the past 14 years of my career, and I’m honored to have the opportunity to focus my practice on pain management, palliative care, hospice care, and in-home euthanasia. These are important yet underserved areas of veterinary medicine. 

Growing up in southern Indiana, I knew at a very young age that I would become a veterinarian. There just was no doubt in my mind - it was what I had to do. After volunteering at the local shelter and several local vet clinics, I left home for my eight years at Purdue. My undergraduate degree is in neurobiology & physiology, and then of course I earned my Doctor of Veterinary Medicine degree. Boiler up! At the beginning of vet school, I planned to be a mixed-animal practitioner. (That’s a vet who takes care of pets, farm animals, and horses.) However, I soon realized that my true calling was to care for people’s beloved dogs and cats. 

I had grown up with rough-coated collies, and the summer before vet school I got my first “adult pet,” my heart cat, Howie. I learned so much from Howie. He turned me from a dog person into a dog AND cat person. He was a stubborn guy who taught me how to provide gentle care for scared, anxious pets. Eventually, he and my second heart kitty Sam, taught me how to provide in-home care for senior pets. Sam eventually gifted me with experiencing in-home euthanasia from the pet owner’s perspective. While extremely heartbreaking, it was also a peaceful experience that I will always cherish. 

Currently I have three kitties: Luka, my formerly stray old lady – the smartest cat I’ve ever had the privilege of knowing. Zelma, my spunky and beautiful black domestic shorthair. Ronald, a goofy and loving long haired white kitty. Recently I was finally able to have a dog again! My family welcomed our rough coated collie, Lizzy, to our home, and she has been a delight. I should probably also mention that I share my home with humans. My husband Chris is originally from Boone County, and he was the clinic administrator for our mobile practice. We have two terrific sons, Heaton and Colton. They keep us on our toes!
