Dog Walking • May 10, 2026

They went out of their way to care of Lily, they had to go back second time, and try again. Because this was Lily's first experience with a sitter, so she was afraid and gaurdish. So she was no. They kept in contact with me the whole time and shared pictures. The second time around she let them walk her. They did not have to go back but they did. Highly recommend them both.

Eric and his wife, Alicia, have taken care of my dogs while house-sitting for an entire week, as well as taking our large Karakachan (Bulgarian shepherd) on afternoon dog walks. I have known Eric and Alicia since the summer of 2020. She volunteered with her daughter for 4 years on my 501c3 nonprofit green care farm animal sanctuary, helping out in many ways in the care of our animals - cleaning stalls, petting and grooming the horses and goats, feeding and changing water buckets, building structures. She also volunteered her time for week-long farm experiences and a Saturday farm program for young kids to interact with the animals. They are both kind, compassionate, respectful people; are very involved in their Catholic church; and have been school teachers for many years. They are both avid, passionate dog lovers who believe as I do that they have feelings and are intelligent beings deserving of our love and respect. I fully endorse Eric with the highest recommendation as a dog walker for Rover!

Hi. Eric R. has been taking my two small dogs for walks around the neighborhood. He is very loving towards them and they are happy when he comes to the house to take them out for a walk. He picks up after them and puts on their collars with their leashes. He even helped my smallest dog want to go on more and longer walks. I have known him for the last eight years and he is very reliable.

It would be awesome to be able to spend about an hour with your dog and you to see how you interact and engage with behavior so we can adapt it into our routine when we are with them.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
