Information Eric J. would like to know about your pet

It is good to keep me updated about any medication changes, vet problem visits, bowel problems or anything else you deem necessary. Please bring your pet’s food and treats.

A typical day

At animal house your dog is king. Usually your pet will be snuggling watching tv or a high energy frisbee game. Everything is adjustable to your dog’s needs. Here at animal house, they are family.

Pet care experience

I have taken care of several dogs for years in my neighborhood and for friends and family. I know how to get your dog to swallow their nasty medication (peanut butter of course!) and keep them on a strict schedule or a whenever schedule. I know a lot about a dog’s body language and for the high strung dog, how to chill them out! For those seniors, they will have a safe quiet place to lay and relax.

Eric watched our 4 year old Whippet over Easter weekend and I would highly recommend him. My lil guy is very timid and scared around strangers and Eric has a very calming way with him. Spencer usually doesn't eat when we are away and actually ate his food this time . Eric played frisbee and ball with him and chilled on the couch watching tv together. So much better than being in a kennel , getting minimal attention.Eric made sure Spence was bundled up in his blankets and did a great job!

When our flights got canceled, delaying our return home by a day, Eric was incredibly generous and offered to continue watching Pepper. It feels as though Pepper is incorporated into the family and Eric always has Pepper’s best interests at heart. He will continue to be our first pick for dog sitters on Rover.

My dog always gets super excited when we pull up to Eric's house. He takes great care of her.

As always, Eric took excellent care of our dog. We will be booking with him again the next time we travel.

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.
