Lover of pets!
Pet care experience
I have 8 years of professional animal care experience ranging rabbits, reptiles, bugs, and birds. I’ve also taken care of friends cats, dogs and other pets.
Reviews
A pleasure to work with, easy to communicate with, punctual, friendly, and -- most importantly -- GREAT with the dogs!!! 10/10 I recommend!!!!!
Eric has an excellent temperament for pet sitting. He is calm when it's needed and energetic for walks and play. When I returned my dog was very happy, which has not always been our experience in the past. I trust Eric completely and will use him again!
Eric took extra time and care with my two kitties. He was great at communication, he listened to special needs that one of my kitties had, and I would certainly rehire him again!
I worked with Eric for over 5 years at a nature center where part of our duties included caring for a collection of invertebrates, fish, turtles, snakes, lizards, rabbits and birds. Eric is very caring, responsible, and experienced with animal care and would be an excellent choice for anyone looking for a pet sitter.

Pet care at client’s home: Feed pets on scheduled feeding time. Play with pets, when they want to be played with. Clean litter box on regularly scheduled times.
Information Eric J. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if the pet has any special needs (health issues, experienced trauma before current owner, etc.). My goal is the comfort and care for the pet.
A typical day
I like to have a formal meeting before I commit to watching the owner’s pet. This allows everyone to get to know each other and see if it’s a match. So fun activities will be based on: what the owner typically does, how the pet responds to me, and the overall temperament of the dog (if they enjoy play or not). Regarding dogs and walks specifically, depends on what the owner likes to do/go, my familiarity with the area, and the dog. My goal is to try and make the transition from pet owner to pet sitter seem less so the pet is comfortable.
