Safety, trust & environment

Outside, they'll be supervised, whether they’re just roaming, playing or doing their business. I myself love to walk, and welcome having your dog as my walking buddy. Inside, they'll get a lot of attention and affection whether playing ball, or just chilling out. If you've got a senior, I am very experienced in that care, whether simple TLC, boosts when standing, meds, multiple bathroom breaks, etc.

Information Eric J. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if you dog has any special needs or behaviors that I should be aware of. Also, if you have specific words or affirmations that you are working with that I should use.

A typical day

My typical mornings start around 7am. I usually walk for my own exercise in the later morning, so would include your dog, with your permission.

Pet care experience

IN PALM SPRINGS NOVEMBER – APRIL We lost our last little guy in 2024. It’s the first time in 35+ years without at least one dog under the same roof, and it has felt like something essential is missing. I have such a love for dogs, and would love to pass that on to yours while you have to be away from them. That’s my main reason for being a Rover Sitter. I’m retired so your dog(s) will get my full attention. Your dog(s) will get constant care, love, playtime and exercise. Outside, they'll be supervised, whether they’re roaming, playing or doing their business. I myself love to walk, and welcome having a walking buddy to join me. When inside, they'll continue to get a lot of attention and affection whether playing games, or just chilling out. If you've got a senior, I am very experienced in their care, whether simple TLC, boosts when standing, meds, multiple bathroom breaks, etc. All of our dogs were allowed on the furniture, and slept on/in the bed with us; I respect and will follow your rules though. For those who like to sleep in their own "den," I also have experience with crate training. I'm happy to do a meet-and-greet before the first visit to make sure everyone’s comfortable -- both canine and human. Photos and updates are happily available while you're away.

Eric is a very personable dog lover with a secure yard. He took wonderful l care of my 14+ dog while I spent the day at Indian Wells. Pictures and report were much appreciated, and I loved seeing her chilling out happily throughout the day.

“Eric is absolutely the best! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️” And that’s a direct quote from Bentley (Cavalier King Charles Spaniel extraordinaire!)

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.
