Very energetic, and love dogs!

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 is very friendly and was great with our 2 boys! The boys were so tired, I know they had a blast exploring and playing with the other dogs.

Eric does a great job fostering relationships with our dog, Ozzy, and other dogs. Ozzy is always excited to be at Eric’s and always comes home exhausted. It is apparent he takes great care of the dogs and enjoys what he does. Eric is also great to communicate with and does a great job sending updates on Ozzy.

Eric is an outstanding dog sitter! He gave me daily updates and photos. My dogs came home happy and exhausted. Thank you and I will definitely be using Eric and the Rover again.

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!
