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.

My wife and enjoy time outdoors with or without pets but if we have a dog or two with us it expands our enjoyment by seeing our dogs frolic and play.

will you share your dog with us

Pet care experience

We have done weekend animal care on a farm which included dog care in which we stayed at the house to walk and feed as well as walks 2 per day. We give a full quality workout to your dog because of the benefits we get with your dog too. This means your dog will get 30 to 60 minutes of exercise per walk, guaranteed.

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.
