Pet care experience

Reliable professional care for dogs

Hi! I’m Eric. I work full time in child welfare, and in my free time, I care for dogs because I truly enjoy it. Pets deserve the same level of attention, trust, and consistency as people do, and that’s the standard I bring to every visit. I’ve lived with and cared for dogs most of my life. My rescue dog, Avery, was with me for 10 wonderful years. I’ve worked with dogs of all sizes, temperaments, and energy levels. Whether they’re hyper, laid back, anxious, or affectionate, I know how to read their behavior and respond with calm, confident care. When I care for your pets, I focus on providing a safe, relaxed, and fun experience. Whether your dog needs structure, play, or just company, I’ll be present and tuned in. I’m not rushing through visits. I treat your home and your pets with the same care I would give my own. You’ll receive clear communication, photo updates, and peace of mind while you’re away. I’m also a photographer, so if you’d like portraits of your pet while you’re gone, feel free to ask. I’m usually available on weekends and take a limited number of clients so I can give each pet my full attention. If you’re looking for dependable, thoughtful care from someone who takes this seriously, reach out any time.

Safety, trust & environment

I specialize in drop-in visits and walks for pet parents who want true peace of mind — the kind that comes from knowing their dog or cat is being cared for with attention, patience, and professionalism. Whether you’re at work, away for the weekend, or just need extra help, I make sure your pets feel safe and loved in their own home. I provide calm, respectful care and always send detailed updates so you’re never left wondering how it went. I try to care for your pets as close to you want me to. I can take notes on how you’d want me to care for your pet or you can give me printed instructions.

Eric has been a good friend and companion to our dog Honey in the past and I will use his services again in the future. His genuine love of dogs shows with enthusiasm and care.

Eric was very kind and patient with my dog, Honey. He was punctual and responsible. He also frequently sent photos of Him and Honey on their walks, fun at the dog park, and even at Chow Hound for Honey's bath! I recommend Eric to everyone who needs a trusting dog caregiver!

Eric is a genuine lover of dogs who has cared for our dog in the past. He has an intuitive understanding of what dogs need and they easily bond with him. I have never worried about my dog's welfare when Eric is providing care. He is conscientious, consistent, and very caring. I would wholeheartedly recommend him for any dog sitting needs and the owner can rest assured that their dog is getting quality care.

I would say, the dogs temperament, how well they walk on the leash, if they can greet other dogs, if people can pet the dog, and how much they weigh. I’ve walked several dogs that do not walk well on the leash, but I would like to at least know ahead of time. I am allergic to cats, so I’d like to know about those ahead of time too so I can take allergy medicine.
