Safety, trust & environment

I plan to keep my furry friend on my watch at all time. When outdoors I will always keep the pet on a leash and keep a watchful eye if there is a female dog or cat in heat with males in the same area. I am not a big fan of taking the pet that I am looking for on dogs parks unless I have the thumb ups to do so from their owners.

Information Eric D. would like to know about your pet

Let me know about the dog’s temperament, activity level, dietary needs/restrictions, and any medical issues. I have experiences in giving oral and eye medications. Also would be great to have phone number of their vet in case of emergencies, God forbid. Other important information would be to know the doggie schedule of when they usually feed and walk the dog. I like to keep my clients on their regular schedule as much as I can.

A typical day

Dogs are individuals, eh. I appreciate when the owners let me know what kinds of activities, games their doggie enjoys. Walks, nice long walks in parks or trails or other pleasant places are always in plan for me. Games, interactive play with toys, balls, even a stick are fun. Some dogs really enjoy chilling, watching TV while laying in/on your lap, being scratched and stroked and I also would be happy to do so.

We recently had Eric watch our dog and cat, and we couldn't be happier with the experience. From the start, Eric proved to be incredibly trustworthy and friendly, making us feel at ease while we were away. He was exceptionally attentive to both of our pets' needs, and it was clear that they genuinely liked him—which is the best endorsement we could ask for! What we appreciated most was his communication; we received daily updates and photos, which kept us connected and reassured. It’s rare to find someone so reliable and communicative. We highly recommend Eric to anyone looking for a sitter who truly cares. We will definitely be booking with him again in the future!

This was the second time Eric stayed with my dog. He looks after the house well and I know my dog is well cared for. Eric sends lots of updates to put my mind at ease.

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.
