Father and daughter dog lovers

Pet care experience

Hi, My daughter and I are a dog loving duo with a deep love for all animals and desire to help families feel better when they need to leave their fur family. We’re a foster family with a local rescue in Minnesota and have several dogs of our own. We have done work with organizations helping to find lost dogs and volunteer work at animal sanctuaries. We are great at loving on animals. We have experience with puppies to elderly dogs and kittens to senior cats. We also have ferrets, guinea pigs, a hedgehog, lizards and snakes of our own so feel comfortable with care of any pet. Will show your 4-legged family member the same love, concern and quality care we would want others to show ours. We have experience with all kinds of dogs no matter if they're large, small, old, young, reactive, or timid. We have consistent open times in the day where we can give your pups the time, attention and affection they need. We will send pictures and updates if you like per visit. We have the knowledge and responsibility to safely administer meds, feed, groom, bathe, play with your pet as many times as you like during the day.

Finding someone you trust with your dogs and your house can be an intimidating task, but Eric met every expectation! We have two pitties and one of them takes more time to warm up to people. He was so patient with her and by the end she was cuddling with him! He was attentive, responsive, and sent fantastic updates. We just got back today and have already referred his profile to others! Thank you, Eric!

Eric was fantastic! His experience with foster/rescue dogs was why I booked him. His patience was certainly needed for my shy rescue Great Dane. Previous to his visit she was really only letting me pet her but after Eric cared for her I saw a HUGE change in her trust with other humans. Now she’s running toward my family members and demanding their affection. I will absolutely be rebooking in the future!

Eric went above and beyond in taking care of our home and our pup! Great at communication and paying attention to extra details, from watering our plants to taking out our garbage and recycle. Did an excellent job!!

A typical day

Dogs enjoy being engaged mentally and physically and we feel this can be accomplished by walking with fun and purpose. We practice safe, focused and fun on-leash behavior that allows for a dog to sniff, explore, follow commands and just 'be a dog' during walks.
