Pet care experience

Very energetic, and love dogs!

My house is a great place for dogs to stay in the Brainerd Lakes area, I have plenty of room in the house, and have 13 acres of wooded property for them to enjoy when we go outside! ***Fall 2023 update**** I now have a fenced in backyard to utilize with pups coming over to visit! I have had a dog of my own growing up for 12 years. Currently, though I do not have any dogs. I used to volunteer part-time to train future service puppies for the blind for over 3 years. ( I have worked with 9 or 10 dogs in the Leader Dog for the Blind program) I have a flexible schedule, and I'm always willing to figure out a solid plan with potential people who need a sitter for their awesome furry friends. I am capable of working and looking after dogs with medical needs as well :). I have worked in probation, law enforcement, corrections, and mental health for over 11 years now. I am a very energetic person who enjoys exercising, and enjoy bringing dogs for walks. I have been on Rover for 4 years I enjoy traveling the world in my free time. ***I respond to requests generally within 10 minutes***

I highly recommend Eric! My dogs are my babies and it takes a lot for me to leave them with someone else. I felt 100% comfortable leaving my two Mini Dachshunds who are very unique and needy. Eric was very responsive, gave updates, and also sent pictures to reassure my dogs were doing ok. I will definitely be rebooking when I'm in the area!

Sky always loves staying ay Eric’s place and now Gauge, our lab has enjoyed it as well. Eric takes great care of them, gives them lots of love and play time and makes sure to send pictures every day.

Eric was great and did an excellent job taking care of my dog when I had to leave town. I would recommend him to anyone and will use him again.

Safety, trust & environment

I now have a fenced in area in my backyard. My driveway is about a 1/4 mile from my house to the road so traffic is not a concern. I can crate if requested.

A typical day

The day can very quite a bit, but it generally starts off with going outside earlier in the morning for potty breaks and soon followed by breakfast. After that it involves more walks or outside time, and as it reaches the end of the day, house time is always allowed, including couch time if your dogs are used to that!
