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.

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.

Before caring for your pet, I’d very much appreciate it if the basic information about your pet was filled out including if they were friendly with cats, dogs children, required medication etc. In addition I’d love to know about their personality, routine, and any special needs they may have. Details such as dietary restrictions, medication schedules, and exercise preferences are especially important. Understanding their social behavior, whether they enjoy meeting other dogs or prefer quiet time, helps me tailor their care. Additionally, knowing their favorite toys, treats, and comfort items ensures I can provide an stress-free and enjoyable experience. The more I know, the better I can ensure your pet feels safe, loved, and well cared for.
