Pet care experience

I'm the walker dogs have fun with!

Caring for dogs is the perfect example of doing something because I love it. I have been walking and caring for pets for over 16 years professionally, and my whole life as an owner. It's all about them when they're with me. I want to make sure they have some fun in their day, and in turn they make me happy. I have never missed a day and my life is better because of it. I care for most dogs, including Senior and disabled. However, if your dog is NOT house-trained, please consider another sitter. I am also vet trained to administer medicine and injections for diabetic dogs, if necessary. If Boarding, the dogs will have a welcoming, clean, safe environment in a spacious apartment with good security in which to be themselves and have fun. However, a dog with mobility issues must be small enough to pick up as my residence has no elevator. There are also fenced gardens on premises for them to relax in outdoors when necessary under my supervision, as well as numerous parks for exercise and play time. I am currently a Dog Walker in Astoria with my own business, and would love having your dog join me on my outings getting them both good exercise and new playmates. As a boarder, your dog will have plenty of exercise and full use of my apartment to be comfortable wherever they desire.

Eric was very accommodating with us and our dog looked like he had lots of fun based on the pictures and videos that Eric was sending us throughout the stay!

Eric was excellent with Kai - he took him on plenty of walks, communicated clearly, and sent lots of fun photos.

If I could give Eric 10 stars I would. He took a booking on a very short notice and was so wonderful and caring. I loved all the updates and photos from the dog park. I highly recommend his services, my little dog was very very happy. Thank you, Eric!

Schedule

It is what I do professionally. I board dogs and walk them with other dogs. You’re dog(s) must get along with other dogs. In bad weather, I host play dates in my apartment, and walk them as much as possible for relief.

As I live near Astoria Park, Ralph DeMarco Park and Con Edison Park, every day will include a play adventure, weather permitting. They will also get additional exercise joining me on my walks during the weekdays.

While I do love all dogs, and animals in general, any aggressive behavior must be acknowledged beforehand. I will make my decision to move forward based on that. I live in an area with many other dog owners, and would like to avoid any danger. I also request that your do be house trained.
