Information Eric M. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dog has any special needs. Are your pets allowed any fresh fruits or vegetables as treats. I follow the ASPCA (American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals) guidelines on pet-safe snacks such as carrots, broccoli, cucumbers, apples, bananas, etc.

A typical day

Me and my husband live about 1/2 mile from the park. In the cooler months, we usually go for a walk in the morning before work, so your four-legged baby will get daily exercise. During the hotter summer months, we keep our 4-legged quests active with playing in our backyard or in the house. I'm also a photographer and love to take photos of your fur babies, which of course I'll be sending you daily.

Love All Creatures, Big and Small!

Pet care experience

From a young age, I've been deeply passionate about caring for animals. My journey began at 12 years old when I started walking my neighbors' dogs, quickly becoming the go-to pet sitter in the neighborhood. I had a natural instinct to help any hurt or stray animals, often bringing them home to nurse them back to health. Over the years, I've welcomed a wide variety of creatures into my home—from the usual dogs and cats to more unconventional pets like tarantulas and even insects. My love for all animals, big and small, has shaped who I am and guided my lifelong commitment to their well-being.

Eric is fantastic. I felt comfortable leaving my 2 dogs for a week. He sent videos and kept me informed about how they were doing. One dog is temperamental, but he handled the situation. Both dogs seemed content when I arrived to take them home. Eric is the real deal.

Eric was great! He was friendly, communicative, and very thoughtful in asking about my Nyla's needs. This is my second time with Eric and Nyla was so excited to see him. She was in excellent hands. 5 stars!

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.
