No dog or personality is too big
Pet care experience
Animal lover looking for new best friends. I always enjoy meeting a new floof or big slobbery doggo. My services cater to each unique dog personality, whether they be outgoing and energetic or quiet and reserved. Prior to moving to the West coast, I grew up on a family farm in Wisconsin and cared for all our friends' and family's dogs - always treating them like they were my own. While in college at UW-Madison, I frequently took care of several friends' dogs while they were away for the weekend or busy studying at the library. Now I'm in a new area looking for new friends. I'm very active and would have no problem working with large breed dogs and/or high energy dogs - all personalities welcome!
Reviews
Eric is a saint! We were visiting Santa Rosa for our son's wedding when our 15yo Vizsla Jesse was injured at a local boarding facility. We knew no one to care for him in the area. Now Jesse was not just older & arthritic, but he was hurt, not eating, drinking and had trouble walking. Eric came to our hotel suite and stayed with Jesse, making him comfortable and adjusting the care as he saw fit based on Jesse's varying symptoms and behavior. It was a pleasure getting to know Eric & we are forever grateful for the love and comfort he provided our four legged best friend!
Eric is great! Our dogs took to him immediately. He took them for walks, spent time playing with them - Skylar was out on the porch looking for him to come play this morning! Highly recommend.
Eric was great! My dogs were happy to walk with him and he kept me up to date through out his visit.
We are usually nervous to leave our 100-pound Ridgeback with any sitter mostly because he’s so big and strong, but as soon as we met Eric I knew there was nothing to worry about! Eric took care of our dog as if he were his own, and took great care of our apartment while we were away, too. Assuming Eric’s available, I don’t think we’ll ever look for another dog sitter!
About Eric S.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
Regardless of where I am, when responsible for another living creature, I think it is essential to create a space of safety and love where they can thrive. By bringing this intention into each interaction, I ensure they are supported in not only their basic needs but their deeper, psychological needs as well.
Information Eric S. would like to know about your pet
Understanding their temperament, how they interact with people, other dogs, and the environment around them as well as knowing the ins and outs of their daily care routines is crucial in making sure they feel comfortable and I can support them in the way they deserve.
A typical day
Each doggo brings their unique personality and quirks into the mix; I cater my care to what they need and want. An energetic individual may mean a couple walks (or several) to run around the local park, while a wiser, more experienced soul may just want a leg to lean on intermittently while walking around the block. The most important assurance in choosing me is that your best friend will get the attention they deserve, and will not be just another box checked.

Availability
I currently work full time but have a variable schedule. Often a break in the day to get away from screens and get in some activity is just what's needed and I love to share that energy with our four legged friends.
