Taking the Lead with Tough Pups

I am new to Rover; however, I have a deep and personal understanding of dogs with behavioral challenges, stemming from my experience rescuing and rehabilitating a sheltered dog with reactive and fearful tendencies. This journey taught me valuable insights into working with dogs that require patience, compassion, and specialized care.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

Caring for pets in their own homes is all about maintaining a sense of familiarity and routine for the animals. I follow the owners instructions closely to replicate the pets regular routines as closely as possible. Whether it’s feeding, walking, playtime, or administering medication, I ensure that every aspect of their care is handled with attention and love. I spend quality time engaging with pets, addressing their individual needs and making sure they feel comfortable and secure in their familiar surroundings.

Eric was great! He communicated very well, and I knew my dog was in good hands. I’m sure my dog loved having someone around day and night.

Eric has been incredibly reliable and great to work with! He has taken awesome care of our dog, Reggie, every time we’ve needed help. Will definitely ask Eric for help in the future!

Our Rita girl is a nervous girl and a bit dog reactive so I always get nervous to leave her with someone. When we had a meet and greet with Eric, he asked really thoughtful questions and knew some dogs in our building and really put me at ease. He stayed with Rita for a quick weekend and sent updates and pictures throughout the day and was always very responsive. He left our place so clean it was like no one was even there - so thoughtful! Would love for Eric to stay with Rita again!

My unique work situation affords me an extra advantage - I spend significant time in the neighborhood throughout the week. This not only allows me to be readily available for walks but also enables me to provide a strong sense of familiarity and routine for the dogs I work with. I’m not just a dog walker who drops by - I’m a neighbor and a friend. Someone who understands the local environment and can tailor each walk to the specific needs of the dog and the neighborhood.

It is important to know any behavioral concerns, any training opportunities, dietary restrictions, or any special requests. I love to train with dogs on the walk.
