Experienced and reliable caretaker
Pet care experience
I love walking, playing with, and caring for dogs! I work from home in the mornings and therefore have availability in the afternoons and evenings and can stay with your pup all day. I've been working on Rover for over three years and specialize in house sitting, walks, and drop-ins. I have handled dogs of all personalities including leash aggressive, skittish, and high-energy and always provide excellent, thoughtful service that puts the dog first. I hope you'll allow me to care for your furry companion!
Reviews
Eric stayed with my 2 energetic dogs (one of which is still a puppy) for a long weekend and we were all so happy! He was very reliable, responsive, and friendly. We hope to see him again and would highly recommend!
Eric was fantastic to work with. He house sat our dog for a long weekend, and did everything we asked and kept us well informed the whole time. He is also very prompt to respond. We had a lot of specific instructions on taking care of our dog and he followed all of it perfectly. I would definitely recommend him to anyone.
Eric was wonderful with our two dogs while we were away for a few days! Both dogs were very well-cared for and he did a great job managing their two personalities. We loved getting updates and photos and were very grateful to know they were doing well! Also, the house was kept in pristine condition! Definitely couldn’t recommend Eric enough!
10 out of 10! I have two cats that Eric checks on while I'm out of town. He is always extremely responsive and goes out of his way to ensure things run smoothly at my home. He provides detailed summaries after each visit, and they're always so fun to read. Each visit summary gives details on how the cats are doing, if they're eating, if they're drinking water, how their mood is, photos, and if there's anything I should know about. I have a pretty detailed list of things I've asked Eric to check, and he's never missed anything! This would be the 3rd time he's completed the "drop-in" visits at my home. Highly highly recommend!!

Safety, trust & environment
I treat my client's home like my own home and do my best to both follow the pet's existing routine and leave the space in the same condition I found it.
Information Eric D. would like to know about your pet
A meet and greet is required for all new clients and is complimentary for stays longer than 3 nights. During the meet and greet, we discuss the daily care routine, triggers both in and out of the home, special requirements, and house details.
A typical day
The typical day depends on your pet's routine. I believe the main advantage of sitting over boarding is the ability to stay in the same space and follow the same routine, so I'll be working to provide your pet with the same care they're used to.

Availability
I work from home and am able to follow any schedule. I'm used to waking up early and like to give long morning walks to high energy dogs to tire them out for the day, but am also happy to slow down for a dog that likes to sleep in!
