Paw time is a fun time!

Pet care experience

I had been a pet owner since I was born. Since I was 16, friends and family relied on my to take care of their dogs. I took care of them and trained them as they were my own. 5 years ago me and my wife started hosting shelter dogs at our home to give them love until they find a suitable home. The latest dog I babysit was Liam, a big-size border collie. He stayed with us for 2 weeks and we miss him dearly. Can’t wait to host our next fur friend soon!

Second time leaving my dog with Eric and his wife. Lovely people who give my dog lots of care and attention, I got plenty of updates of his walks and shenanigans. I love the communication and updates, really made me feel secure in leaving my baby in their care.

We can't recommend Eric & Veronica highly enough! Our dog, Bowie, is not the easiest to handle—he's reactive and has his fair share of challenges. But Eric took on the task with enthusiasm, patience, and expertise that truly blew us away. From the moment we met Eric, we could tell he had a special connection with animals. He not only managed Bowie;s reactivity with ease but also took the time to understand his triggers and work with him through training exercises. It's evident that Eric is not just a dog sitter but a true professional who cares deeply about the well-being and happiness of his furry clients. Eric had immense care & willingness to go above and beyond. Not only did he provide excellent companionship and exercise for Bowie, but he also surprised us by giving him a much-needed bath. We were thrilled to come home to a clean and refreshed pup! Communication with Eric was seamless throughout the entire process. He kept us updated with photos and messages, which gave us peace of mind knowing that Bowie was in good hands. Eric exceeded all our expectations, and we wouldn't hesitate to book him again in the future. If you're looking for a trustworthy, knowledgeable, and compassionate dog sitter who will treat your pet like family, look no further than Eric. He truly is the best sitter ever!

Eric and his wife, Veronica, took great care of my dog, Winston, especially during his recovery from surgery. I felt iffy to leave him a few weeks into his healing, but Eric’s attentive questions and friendly nature made me feel better about the stay. He’s very communicative and asks a lot of thorough questions, which I appreciated. My dog came home happy, clean, and well-rested. Thank you both!

Safety, trust & environment

Our home has a very calm vibe but has a huge floor glass window for your baby to stare outside in case He/She is a nosy one staring people or squirrels at the front yard zen garden outside. The garden is surrounded by a gated fence. Needless to say, I have a smart sound system and big TV for relaxing time entertainment. Definitely will never be bored. Loves activity? We do CrossFit, jogging or biking every day in case you want He/She to join us. There are 5 friendly dogs in the neighborhood which I can introduce to your fur baby (if you desire to be social) when we go out for our routine walks. See below for the service you’re interested in. Dog Walking: • I have a solid working knowledge of basic dog obedience. • I avoid other dogs and people while walking and do not allow people to pet the dog(s) . This is for your pet’s protection. • While walking I carry: first aid kit, waste bags, bear spray, water and a bowl. Drop-in Visits: Prior to and during visit: • Have a complete understanding of all that is required. • Your pet(s) will be given lots of love and playtime while I’m visiting. • I bring in packages and can check the mail. I’ll turn on lights, and can open and close drapes. House Sitting: I’ll leave your home in the same shape (or better) than I found it. I wash my sheets and remake the bed. I take trash cans to the curb. I don’t snoop, party, or bring in guests. • Provide loving and complete care of your pets. • You can trust that if there’s a health issue or emergency, I’ll be on it. I’ve had experience with this. • I attach AirTag(s) and ID tag(s) with my phone number to your pets. This is an added safety precaution and can aid to speed recovery in the unlikely event a pet has escaped. •Provide 3 daily walks. Boarding and Day-Care: • I care for one pet at a time, ensuring that your pet is receiving my full attention. I’ll board two pets if they’re from the same household. • 3 daily walks provided. I am a software engineer and I love being a pet care provider in and out. I also offer pet art work images as framed works, greeting cards, tshirts, mugs, blankets, memorial stepping stones, puzzles and more. Ask more more about this! You can feel confident that your pet(s) will be cared for as if they were my own. I give updates and send photos. What I would like to know about your pet? • Please be sure to enter veterinarian information prior to service date. • Pet(s) obedience level? • Reactivity? • Anxiety? • Special Needs? • Food Allergies? Additional Skills: ✅ Oral Medication Administration ✅ Injected Medication Administration ✅ Special Needs Dog Experience (Rescue, anxious, hyperactive) ✅ Will provide daily exercise I look forward to hearing from you!
