Pet care experience

New Adventure Buddy for your Pet

I’ve been around animals my whole life—dogs, cats, and everything in between. I’m a hands-on, attentive caregiver who truly enjoys getting to know each pet’s unique personality. Whether it’s high-energy pups who love long walks or older dogs who need a gentle pace and a little extra TLC, I adapt to their needs. What sets me apart? I’m dependable, detail-oriented, and I treat your pets like they’re my own. I’m comfortable with administering medication, handling large breeds, and managing pets with anxiety or reactivity. I’m also happy to care for multiple pets at once or follow specific routines you’ve built at home. I understand that leaving your pet with someone new can be stressful, so I always aim to communicate clearly, send updates, and provide peace of mind.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

Your pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness are always my top priorities. Whether I’m caring for your dog, cat, or another companion, I treat every animal with the same attention and respect I give my own. In your home, I stick closely to your established routines—whether that’s feeding times, medication, potty breaks, or favorite walking routes. I make sure pets feel secure and cared for by keeping their environment calm, predictable, and clean. I’m mindful of safety at all times: watching for open doors, avoiding hazards on walks, and making sure your pet is never left in a risky situation. I also send regular updates so you know exactly how your pet is doing while you're away.

Eric was amazing! I couldn’t have asked for a better dog sitter. From the moment we met, it was clear how patient and caring he was. Eric followed all instructions perfectly, kept me updated with pictures and messages, and gave my standard poodles tons of attention and outdoor time. I came home to relaxed, happy pups — which says everything. I’ll definitely be booking again!

We're so happy we hired Eric to care for our dogs! When he came to our house to meet us, he asked loads of questions and even took notes! While we were gone, Eric communicated well with us to be sure he was helping our pups the best way possible. A side bonus was that Eric took the cutest pictures of our dogs we've ever had! We've found our new favorite dog sitter!

Eric did a great job with the dogs and made friends with our cat, which only likes us occasionally. The house was clean, the plants watered, and he took the time to send us daily pics. Eric was great.

Eric is an amazing person who will love your animal as his own. He’s very active and takes our dog on long walks/hikes often. If you’re looking for someone you can trust with your home and your pets, he’s your guy!

Schedule

Pet care fits perfectly into my current routine—I’m looking for flexible side income while I build my small business. That means my schedule is wide open, and I’m available for daytime walks, drop-ins, and even last-minute bookings. I’m happy to work around your pet’s usual routine to keep things as comfortable and stress-free as possible!

Please let me know if your pet has any special needs, medical conditions, routines, or behaviors I should be aware of—like reactivity on walks, fear of loud noises, or dietary restrictions. I want to make sure they’re as comfortable and safe as possible in my care. I’m experienced with high-energy dogs, shy or anxious cats, senior pets, and multi-pet households. The more I know ahead of time, the better I can tailor each visit to their needs. If your pet has quirks (we all do!), I’m happy to accommodate.
