I just love hanging out with pets!!

Pet care experience

Dogs and cats are my first priority whenever I'm over at a friend or family member's house. My brother had asthma so we re-homed our dog Sylvie when I was seven years old--I have some very dramatic journal articles from that time! So, whenever I got to be around pets, I gave them as much of my attention as they were interested in. I am now lucky enough to have my own dog (Shannon, the goldendoodle in my profile picture) but can never get enough time with dogs and cats!!

Words cannot express the appreciation I have for Eric. I have high needs animals, and I am pretty sensitive about the way they are worked with. Eric took the time to come and make sure my dogs were comfortable with him and that I was comfortable. He recommended setting up a google drive file for he and I to communicate as the days approached. I will continue to use him as I need support and I would recommend him to anyone!

Eric took care of our pets while my wife and I were out of town. At the time, two of our pets needed daily medication. He is clearly a pet person because he was able to administer both medications to our stubborn (but loveable!) pets. Would highly recommend working with Eric!

Eric does a great job with our pets and is clearly an animal lover. We needed a cat sitter on short notice, and Eric provided peace of mind that our cats were well taken care of and given attention while we were away!

Eric will provide excellent care for your pet! He is a reliable, attentive, and active caregiver. His dog, Shannon, has gotten along well with our dog and will be a great companion for your pet while under Eric's care. Eric is also a fantastic, friendly communicator and will make sure that you feel at ease while you're away.
