Pet care experience
I am a Certified Veterinary Technician with 5 years of experience in the veterinary setting. I have had pets my whole life and in college when I wasn't able to have pets I spent time at the local humane society playing with cats and walking dogs. I currently have 2 cats, Willow and Kinzley, and 2 dogs, Dumptruck and Ranger. Dumptruck is a 110lb St. Bernard mix and Ranger is a 26lb unknown mix. Dumptruck is a gentle giant but Ranger has anxiety and is on medications for this so I am comfortable working with dogs that aren't as confident on lease or around strangers.

Eric also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.
Reviews
Eric is the best! He took such great care of my 3 cats while I was gone. He handled their chaos with ease and gave me updates with pictures throughout the week. My boys loved him! I knew they were being taken care of by someone I can trust.
Eric is a trained CVT and has been great with both my cats as well as dogs. He takes the time to understand the needs of the animal and will go at their pace to make sure they are just as comfortable with him. Having been trained in animal body language, he understands that some animals need to take it slower than others or might need some special care including but not limited to specialty instructions when it comes to their walks or even pill administration. I always know my pets will be taken care of when he is around.

Safety, trust & environment
I want to make sure that food and water are appropriately accessible when and how your pets are used to. In addition, I also would like to ensure your pets are getting appropriate enrichment I also want to make sure that litterboxes are cleaned regularly.
Information Eric G. would like to know about your pet
want to know about your pets: favorite toys/snacks, how they are most comfortable interacting with other pets and humans, what harnesses/ leash they are use to, etc. I would also like to have a meet and greet with you and your pets so we can get to know each other. As a male I understand that some dogs are not as comfortable with me due to their past and I want to make sure that me taking care of them doesn't cause them more stress.
A typical day
Activities depend on what will work best for your pet. I can handle it whether your pet does best with a casual sniff or needs to chase a ball/frisbee at full throttle and everything in between.
