Energetic & Experienced Pet Sitter

Pet care experience

Hi there! My name is Eric, and I am a lifelong dog lover with a passion for taking care of furry friends. I have been caring for dogs since I was a child, and over the years, I have developed a deep understanding of their needs and behaviors. I have a dog of my own named Lola that I rescued from the streets of Brazil and gave her a new home in the US. She is now a beloved member of my family and brings joy and love to my life every day. My experience includes caring for dogs of all shapes and sizes, from tiny Chihuahuas to large Great Danes. I am comfortable with all breeds and temperaments and have a talent for making even the most nervous dogs feel safe and loved. In addition to my hands-on experience, I am also well-versed in the latest dog care techniques and am always eager to learn more. Whether your pup needs a long walk, a good belly rub, or just a little extra TLC, I am here to provide the care and attention they deserve. If you are looking for a reliable, trustworthy, and passionate dog caregiver, look no further. I can't wait to meet you and your furry friend!

Took great care of Lulu twice over the span of ten days -- and when I dropped her off the second time I could tell she was really happy to see him.

Eric went above and beyond while caring for our two pups. He was sensitive to the special needs of our puppy and provided frequent updates and pictures. Very responsive and accommodating. Will definitely reach out to Eric again for future dog sitting needs!

Safety, trust & environment

When caring for pets in my client's home, I respect their space and routines. This may involve following specific instructions for feeding, walking, and administering medication, as well as keeping the home tidy and secure. I may also need to provide updates to clients about their pet's well-being and any issues that arise during my care. It is important to establish a bond with each pet and provide individualized care based on their needs and personality. This may involve spending time playing with them, providing exercise and mental stimulation, and giving them plenty of attention and affection. Ultimately, my approach to caring for pets will depend on the specific services I offer and the needs of my clients and their pets. By prioritizing safety, comfort, and individualized care, I can build a reputation as a trusted and reliable pet caregiver.

Information Eric Z. would like to know about your pet

Knowing key information about a dog ahead of time is crucial to providing the best possible care. For example, it's important to know their daily routine, including their feeding and exercise schedule, any medications they are taking, and any training or behavior issues that need to be addressed. Additionally, it's helpful to know their energy level, personality, and any specific likes or dislikes they may have. This information will help me tailor my care to meet their unique needs, ensuring that they feel safe, comfortable, and happy while in my care. Lastly, it's also important to know their veterinary information and any emergency contacts in case an unexpected issue arises.

A typical day

I believe that keeping dogs happy and engaged is key to their well-being, so I make sure to incorporate plenty of fun activities into their daily routine. Depending on your dog's interests and energy level, we might go for walks in the park or explore new neighborhoods. If your dog loves to play fetch or tug-of-war, we'll spend plenty of time playing together. I also enjoy taking dogs on hikes, visiting local dog parks, and giving them plenty of opportunities to socialize with other dogs. In short, I'm happy to tailor our activities to your dog's needs and preferences to ensure that they have the best possible experience while in my care.
