Friendly and Experienced Caretaker

Pet care experience

Hello! My name is Eric. I was born and raised in Los Angeles, and recently finished my degree in theatrical lighting at Ithaca College in Upstate New York. I also just finished raising a lovely service dog puppy named Eden, who lived with me for a year while I trained and socialized her to new experiences. She's now off to learn more advanced techniques and get paired with a visually impaired person to work as their new set of eyes! I have 3+ years experience working with service dog puppies in training ranging from 2 months to 2 years, teaching them house manners, basic obedience, and more specific behaviors. I also have much longer experience caring for elderly family dogs with a range of disabilities (arthritis, blindness, deafness, you name it...). I have always believed that dogs (or any animal!) deserve loving care and positive reinforcement for their behaviors. When I'm with an animal, I see it as my responsibility to keep them happy and healthy. Although I am not a professional trainer, I'm happy to work with your dog on their basic obedience skills! I look forward to meeting you and your furry (or not so furry) friend! Please do not hesitate to get in touch if you have any questions for me!

Where do I even begin! This was my second time using rover and Eric's first, and man did he do exceedingly well! He gave me a great sense of trust and comfort. He was great at following all of my instructions. Super friendly and accommodating. He sent me tons of pictures and was able to deal well with my pup's energy. He even stopped for a water break! I am so very grateful I was able to have him as my sitter and I would totally rely on him for future walks!

I have known Eric for four years and quickly learned his love for animals. Not only have we been dog walkers together to a lovable Cocka-poo named Baxter but we were also part of Guiding Eyes for the Blind, an organization which trains dogs for the visually impaired. We recently finished raising a black lab puppy (from 7 months old-1 1/2 years old) through Guiding Eyes for the Blind who is now in harness training! Because of the demands required to raise a dog through this program, Eric has become a great trainer in addition to an avid dog lover. He really takes the time to get to know a dog's personality while also giving them exercise and attention. What's more, you may get some high quality pictures out of it (see just_eric_and_puppies for some examples)!
