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 has been great! He is very patient with our puppy who is scared of everything. He is also incredibly communicative about any scheduling issues or concerns.

Eric is a fantastic sitter! He was very patient with my two pups, one of which can be very energetic and needy. He was communicative throughout our scheduling conversations and during his dog sit. He also sent photos to show the dogs were doing well and enjoying his company. Eric watched my two dogs at my house and he was very respectful and left the house in as good, if not better condition, than when he arrived.

Eric is a great dog walker! He walks Ranger every week and manages him well. Since he’s a bigger dog, I always ensure a walker feels comfortable managing him, and Eric is great! He is easy to communicate with, flexible to last minute needs, and proactive in ensuring we have our weekly walk booked for a convenient time. I highly recommend Eric’s services for your one-off or regular dog care needs!
