Meet Erin
Hi! I’m Erin Thompson, the face behind Adventure Scruff Academy.
I have owned dogs my whole life and have always loved being around them. I got my first pet gig in elementary school walking my neighbors’ Golden Retriever, Blondie. She was an exceptional girl and really solidified my love of dogs.
In 2015, I purchased my own dog Phoebe, a GSP. While showing and hunting were not for her, she brought me into the world of sports. Soon after, I got Spy! With him, I have trained and competed in hunt tests, dock diving, rally, trick dog, and my personal favorite, conformation. After finishing Spy’s championship in 2019, I began showing friends’ dog. Currently, I have started and finished 8 AKC champions! More recently, I have added two wonderful young dogs—Berk the Samoyed and Squid the Belgian Sheepdog. They have allowed me to experience even more of the dog sport world.
Given my variety of dog breeds, I enjoy all personalities of our canine companions and use that knowledge to best care for any dog that stays with me.

Testimonials
“We've boarded our dogs with Erin twice now and both experiences have been absolutely fantastic. She’s communicative, friendly, and always keeps us updated with photo and video check-ins, which I really appreciate while we’re away.
Most importantly, she takes excellent care of the dogs. One of my corgis is very high-anxiety and usually resists being handed off once she realizes it’s a boarding situation—but with Erin, she goes to her willingly and doesn't try to come back to me, which says a lot!
Very thankful to have found someone to trust with the dogs while we’re away. “

“Erin looked after our two Samoyed boys over a weekend and was great. She made some adjustments to ensure they were comfortable and also stayed in touch with us through updates and pictures. The boys were happy and tired when I picked them up - thanks Erin!”
—Alfonso C.
“Erin is a great with dogs! She has kept my sensitive girl several times and she always comes back happy and healthy. I would trust her with any of my fur babies!”
—Bethany M.
“I can’t say enough about the care that my dog received when she stayed with Erin. My sweet Lacey stayed with Erin for a month and loved every minute of it. Erin gave her special attention everyday and I’ll have to say Lacey insists on lots of attention. To this day, Lacey gets so excited whenever she gets to see Erin. I trust her to care for my dog just as much as she cares for hers.”
—Dorothy B.
