Loving and empathetic pet person!

Pet care experience

I have been a dog person my whole life. My first word was dog and my first sentence was, “look at dat dog!”. I have owned / own mutts, rottweilers, border collies, and german shepherds and I love dogs of all breeds and sizes. I just love being around the furry guys and making sure they have a wonderful experience with me when I can help!

Looking for a trustworthy pet caregiver who goes above and beyond? Look no further than Arik! Arik has been an absolute blessing in caring for my German Shepherd. His responsible and loving approach to her care truly sets him apart. From daily (long) walks with a lot of football throwing to playtime and beyond, Arik goes above and beyond to ensure my dog friend is happy, healthy, and well-loved. I highly recommend Arik to anyone seeking a reliable, compassionate pet caregiver who is always respectful of my home!

I am accessible at all times via text, call or email so they can check in an be updated whenever necessary or wanted. I am capable of taking care of all breeds and levels of care due to my own background with dogs and their multiple stages of life from feeding, care routines, walking / exercise needs and any geriatric needs.

Information arik a. would like to know about your pet

Again, I love to understand the pet from what I observe as well as what I am told from the owner. I like to make sure everyone is in their comfort zones. especially when it is something as important as taking care of their fur-babies.

A typical day

I listen to the pet owner and what their pet is comfortable with. If they like long walks, i do long walks. If they like to socialize, we can go to the dog park. If they're more indoor oriented, we play games both physically and mentally to stimulate their brains and get exercise.
