House Sitting • May 05, 2026

5 stars isn’t enough to express the care that my babies received. Eric was highly communicative and also mindful of quirky requests that I made regarding food and sleeping arrangements for my old bestie. My pups were literally on vacation while I was out of town and that is an awesome experience all around.

Dog Walking • Mar 12, 2026

Eric was amazing with our two dogs - one large and small. We didn't know he had so much experience with dogs, including also being a dog handler! I guess I would call him a dog expert, as I learned more about dog behavior chatting with him even briefly!!! He knew exactly how to interact with our dogs each having their own personality. He was also great with our large dog who has a tendency to get anxious. Our dogs loved Eric and he was great with them! He walked, and played with them and I could see from the pictures they were happy and having fun!!! I will defiantly be booking him again. I highly recommend Eric for anyone wanting their dogs to be cared for well and to have peace of mind!!!

Eric is a dog whisperer. He’s a gentle giant. Big guy and tough exterior (he’s a 12yr veteran US Marine), but gentle and fun loving when it comes to how he loves and cares for dogs. Alls shapes and sizes. He loves on my dogs like no other!

Safety, trust & environment

Every dog is unique. I always welcome a pre-visit with new clients, where we meet together, talk through your dog’s needs, and create a personalized care plan. Dogs thrive on routine just like we do, and maintaining that consistency is key to their comfort, behavior, and happiness.

Pets

A typical day

I take my dogs with me everywhere so a typical day well at least 3 days a week starts with a walk. I walk them one at a time because they perform better with no other dogs around. Then we load up to go to Dunkin for some coffee and a pup cup. They pretty much relax all day when we aren’t moving around. Play time is about 5-6x a day . They eat twice a day. Dry and wet apart or mixed . Dogs around here typically get about 2-3 hours daily exercise and sleep the rest when not eating .
