Pet care experience

Professional and compassionate care

Mom's a veterinarian, and I grew up on a farm surrounded by dogs, cats, and other animals. I live in central Champaign with a small friendly dog of my own. I've taken care of family dogs since childhood, and first worked as a dog sitter as a teenager. I love dogs, I enjoy spending time with them and keeping them happy. Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns, and I hope I can help keep your dog safely and with joy.

Eric & his wife took great care of my pooch. Kept me informed on their day and sent photos. I will definitely use them again

Eric was a fantastic host for my dog Tito and I’m eager to have him take care of him again. In addition to attentive and frequent updates, he took him hiking twice!

Eric is AMAZING! Wyatt and Gorejus had the best time during our extended trip. For two weeks Eric made sure our babies felt at home and showered them with activity (which our Wyatt loves). They both were happily exhausted from all the fun. We will be absolutely using Eric in the future.

Eric was an amazing caretaker for our dog over the weekend. He was extremely professional in his communication: responses were prompt, and his pictures of our happy dog were super reassuring. Our pup got walks, playtime, and plenty of pats. I will definitely be using Eric again next time I need a sitter. Highly recommend!!

Eric is a kind and responsible pet-caregiver. Having grown up on a farm with a mother for a vet, he has a wide range of knowledge and experience. He has taken care of my energetic puppy while she was still working on commands and potty training, as well as my high-need elderly cat who required special medical care. He's always responsive to my needs and flexible to work with. 10/10 would recommend Eric!

Eric grew up with all kind of animals from dogs to lizards and is very kind, attentive and compassionate. He would take excellent care of any animal for whom he is responsible. I wouldn't hesitate to hire him to care for any of my pets.

Schedule

I am currently on summer elective from school, which means I am home almost full time and so I have lots of time to keep an eye on your pooch.
