Safety, trust & environment

Safety, trust, and respect are extremely important to me. When caring for pets in their own home, I make sure to follow all care instructions closely, keep pets on their normal routine, and maintain a calm, safe environment. I treat every home with care and respect, keeping it clean, secure, and exactly as you left it. I believe clear communication builds trust, so I provide regular updates and photos and am always available if you need to reach me. My goal is for you to feel completely comfortable knowing your pet and your home are in good hands.

Caring Pet Sitting You Can Trust.

Pet care experience

I’ve been around pets my entire life. I grew up with both small and large dogs with all kinds of different needs. Truly, I understand that each pet has its own unique needs which I’m patient and willing to understand. As an adult I’ve owned/lived with 3 small dogs (pug, 2 cavalier King Charles spaniels) and a cat so I’m fully capable of taking care of multiple animals at once. I’ve cared for both my cavaliers from puppy through their seniors years including one being in a wheel chair his last year of life so I have experience with dogs in all years of their life. My cat was adopted as kitten so also familiar with cats during all years of life. Over the years I’ve done pet sitting and walked dogs for friends and neighbors in addition to my own pets.

Eric was fantastic! He was super communicative throughout the stay and clearly took great care of our apartment. He left everything in its place and even put back on the calming YouTube dog video we'd left on for our dog before we left. He sent us lots of photos of our pup, and it was obvious he was in good hands the whole time.

Eric was a great dog walker for us. He was very communicative and our dog had a great time with him. Would recommend!

Eric was great! He was very communicative before, during, and after the dog walk and we knew our dog had a great time with him.

Eric was wonderful sitting our two dogs at our place. He was communicative, took great care of the dogs and the apartment, and dealt with any issues that came up. 10/10 will be booking with Eric again!
