Experienced Dog Lover in North Oak!
Pet care experience
I grew up with Labs and Boxers, and have a lifetime of experience owning and caring for dogs of my own. I work from home during the day, so I am around to take frequent potty breaks and daytime walks. I prefer to do a meet and greet at least one day in advance of your reservation to make sure we are both comfortable with the stay. I generally take dogs out for a short potty break first thing in the morning, then a late morning potty break, and a longer walk or hike in the afternoon. Other times we will do two short walks per day with a potty break in between. It varies dependent on your dogs needs, but I aim to stay as consistent to their regular schedule as possible. My goal is to make sure that any dog staying with me feels safe and comfortable, has a great time and is spoiled with lots of love and treats! My cat Oliver is 10 years old and has always had dogs around so he is mellow, and likes the company.
Reviews
Eric shared photos of shilohs stay and was easy to work with. It was comforting to know our dog was in good hands and with someone who enjoys having a dog around.
Eric was so wonderful. I had a suddenly urgent need for dogsitting with 12 hours' notice and thought I'd be SOL, but Eric responded right away and was able to take my pup first thing in the morning. Besides rescuing me, he took such great care of Smalls—they went on a long hike and spent tons of quality time together, and Smalls was happy and exhausted by pickup (the sign of a great day!). I'm definitely calling Eric the next time we need a dogsitter!
Eric was great! He fed my dog Bruno during the day, took him out for walks and to great locations such as parks, the Emeryville Marina, and Albany Bulb, and offered a little training. He was also flexible with my drop-off/pick-up hours. Bruno was very happy with Eric overall. I would choose Eric again for any future daycare or dog-boarding needed.
Eric is a true dog lover. Always showing love, attention and knowledge for pups. Eric watched my dog Winnie multiple times and always had her play with his dog Miles and she would have the time of her life every time. Eric is also a very responsible person so he truly means what he says. Hire Eric to board, walk or just hang with pup you’ll be glad you did. Best
