Information Eric F. would like to know about your pet

Let me know of any special needs or feeding schedules ahead of time. It often helps to write down any special information for me to know :).

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!

Pet care experience

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***

Eric took care of our big baby. Stella loved it there!

Eric was great! And he’s got a wonderful property for dogs. He listened to us, understood Griffin and his anxiety, and we came back to a happy and healthy dog. We forgot to tell Eric that Griffin can open doors, so that was a surprise for him. But he handled it like a pro. Thank you, Eric!

Eric's communications are unmatched. He kept us informed on our dogs and even sent photos. Our dogs were in very good hands. Eric obviously knows what he's doing. If your looking for a worry free experience get in touch with Eric.

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.
