Information Eric P. would like to know about your pet

It is important for me to know if there are any allergies or medical issues. I also need to know how they get along with other dogs as I have two in my house.

A typical day

Your dog, my dogs, and I will go on long hikes/runs for at least one hour. We often try to go swimming in the summer and have room indoors to play when it's cold and we can't stay out for as long.

Animal lover, dog and cat whisperer

Pet care experience

I have grown up all my life with cats, dogs, and other pets. I typically am booked for dogs but can take care of any of your pets. I have been dog sitting for 25+ years now for family, friends, and customers and have not found a pet I can't handle. I am very active and your dog will get a lot of exercise with me and my dogs. I love running with dogs running next to me and going on long hikes in the woods. I love animals and will show the same love and care I have for my animals for yours.

Tusk was so excited to go on a run / walk with Eric. The minute Eric pulled into the parking lot, Tusk met him at the door, ready to start his walk. Eric and Tusk ran and walked. Tusk came home, happily tired. Eric kept me updated with photos and video. I highly recommend Eric. This was their first walk together. They immediately bonded. I was so relieved.

Eric did a great job with our Weimar mix. She can be a bit anxious but I think she enjoyed walking with other dogs. I loved getting the pictures and daily route maps for the walk.

Trying a new Rover always makes me a little nervous. Eric is such a trustworthy and kind person that I immediately felt comfortable leaving Bear with him. Bear has stayed with Eric a handful of times, and what keeps us coming back is that Bear is always excited to be dropped off here - immediately running up to Eric and the other dogs! Eric takes the dogs on long walks and fun adventures, sending us pictures and videos often throughout the day. Highly recommend Eric to all!

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.
