Learned everything I know from dogs
Pet care experience
I'm a nursing student trying to make some extra cash to get me through school, while doing something I love. I've had dogs all my life, as well as raised and trained my current puppy, Kaylee, over the past four years. I recently moved out of my childhood home in order to be closer to school. Since my apartment does not allow pets, I was forced to leave Kaylee at home to live with my mother. I miss her very much and promise to treat your pet with all the love and care with which I have treated my own. I will work diligently to keep things as normal and punctual as possible for your pup so as not to disrupt either of your routines.

I've never left my dogs alone all day before and was hesitant to use someone that I found online. I am so happy with Eric's service. When we met, I immediately felt comfortable and my dogs got along with him right away. You can tell that he loves animals and is so sweet and gentle with them. I received pictures and updated texts and felt so comfortable leaving the dogs alone because I knew they were in good hands. I can't recommend Eric highly enough, and will definitely be using him again!
after having the same dog walker for 10yrs, i was hesitant on going on the internet to find my new one. i had high expectations & believe that 1st impressions are usually 99% accurate....i was pleasantly surprised w/eric & i look fwd to him continuing to build a relationship w/my family & my doggie.
Eric has been around pets since he was young. He is kind and compassionate to all animals especially dogs. He was never the kind of person that needed to be reminded to take care of their dog. He walks, and plays with his dog several times a day. He cuts her nails and brushes her teeth on a regular schedule. He makes sure she gets her heart worm and tick medicine as necessary. He makes sure to keep up on annual physicals and will not hesitate to take the dog to the vet when any emergency arises. I know he would make an excellent dog walker for your four legged friend!
I have known Eric for the past four years and one of the very first things that I learned about him was how much he loves and cares about dogs. His five year old "puppy" Kaylee has been the apple of his eye since the first day he saw her. He has always made her his top priority, consistently walking, training, feeding, bathing, and playing with her. At first, I thought that maybe his enthusiasm was exclusive to Kaylee, but I soon came to see from watching his interactions with my own two dogs, or really any puppy he encountered, that his kind and caring spirit is unrestricted. More times than I can count, I have witnessed him put aside whatever he was doing and wherever he was going just to pull his truck over or stop traffic at first sight of runaway pets in order to return them safely to their owners. I would trust him with the life of my dogs without question, knowing he would always do everything in his power to care for and protect them. The best way I can describe Eric is to say that he is the human embodiment of the quote "what a beautiful world it would be if people had hearts like dogs."

Skills
Information Eric W. would like to know about your pet
I love all dogs as they love us- unconditionally. However, what is important to me is learning more about your unique pet's individual personality. For example: • How does your dog react around other animals? • What about around kids? • Which toy is your dog's favorite? • Does he or she have toys that are specifically indoor or outdoor toys? • Does your dog get treats? If so, is there a specific time or reason for which he/she should be given a treat? • Does your dog roam your home freely or is he/she crated? I look forward to discussing this, as well as any other pertinent information, before or during my first visit.
A typical day
I will take your dog for a stroll on his or her favorite route or we can just explore the neighborhood and nearby parks. I'll happily play your pup's favorite game, be it frisbee, fetch, or five card monte. I'll also feed, water, and clean up after them as needed.
