Pet care experience

Love All Creatures, Big and Small!

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 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!

Eric was awesome! It was our dog’s first time staying with him for a couple of nights and he did a phenomenal job. He kept us in the loop with tons of photos and videos throughout the day, stuck right to our dog's usual routine, and was super quick to reply. Will definitely use him again!

Eric was amazing to work with! I was truly impressed with his effort to show how he cared for our fur baby during our vacation and how he took the time to always keep us updated. Our girl is a spunky energy bunny who does not understand her weight or strength and Eric did amazing with her! I highly recommend his services and will absolutely be a return customer in the future.

First time boarding my dog ever, but felt very comfortable leaving him in Eric’s care. He seemed to have a great time and came back happy and healthy, and even had some great photos taken by Eric. Thanks again, will definitely request another service if needed in the future.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a private home and fenced backyard for your dog. There is a pool in the backyard and dog will be fully supervised anytime they are in the backyard. Smaller dogs are allowed on the couch, but we try to keep bigger dogs off the couch.

A typical day

Me and my husband live about 1/2 mile from the park. We usually go for a walk in the morning before work, so your four-legged baby will get daily exercise. I'm also a photographer and love to take photos of your fur babies, which of course I'll be sending you daily.

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.
