Highlights
Pet care experience
Calm patient lover of dogs
I’m a former Saint Bernard owner, and while my beloved pup passed away two years ago, I’m not quite ready for another dog of my own just yet. However, I would love the opportunity to help care for yours. In addition to my experience as a dog owner, I’ve fostered three different dogs for a local organization and have been a reliable dog sitter for many of my friends. At age seven, my dog Dempsey was diagnosed with cancer in his back left leg. The treatment options we chose gave him an expected lifespan of just 10 to 18 months. However, with dedicated care, Dempsey defied the odds and lived nearly three years — just one month shy of that milestone. On top of his cancer diagnosis, Dempsey also began experiencing seizures a few months after surgery. Managing his care required administering medications three to four times a day, which became a crucial part of my daily routine. I share this with you to highlight the level of care and dedication I put into ensuring Dempsey’s well-being. That same level of commitment and compassion is what I bring to caring for any dog entrusted to me. Whether your pup needs extra attention, special care, or just some love and playtime, I’m here to help provide peace of mind while you’re away. I also regularly create and share videos of the pets I care for on social media, I can’t share links here, but if you search for ericduany2809 on YouTube, Or therealrealrico on TikTok, you can find my videos.

Schedule
I’m currently unemployed, so my schedule and availability is pretty open. I typically stay home most days, but usually play soccer once a week, which means I’ll be away fur around two hours.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have a fenced in yard, while also living close by to parks for fun walks. My house is very dog friendly so they will be safe and unable to get into any trouble. I also have Apple AirTags that I can easily affix to dog collars as an insurance in the unlikely event your pet was to get loose during my time with them.
A typical day
A typical day with me starts with a refreshing morning walk to ensure your dog gets some exercise and fresh air. Depending on your pet’s energy level, we might play fetch, tug-of-war, or enjoy some interactive puzzle toys to keep their mind engaged. For calmer dogs, leisurely strolls or relaxing cuddle time are always an option. Throughout the day, I’ll provide regular potty breaks, feeding according to their schedule, and plenty of affection. If your dog enjoys social time, we might visit a local park or explore nearby trails for a fun adventure. My goal is to keep your pet happy, active, and comfortable while you’re away.
