Highlights
Pet care experience
Animals > Humans
I'm a lifelong pet owner and lover. My girlfriend and I currently have 3 cats, 1 dog, 11 chickens, and 3 horses. All of my animals explore the world as if they were humans including the cats that go hiking, kayaking, trains, and planes. I have cared for friend's and family's animals many times. I work from home and spend most of my day loving and caring for the animals. I would love to care for your animals as if they were my own.

Ratings and reviews
The peace of mind both Abby and I feel has been great.
Erich and Anastasia have been wonderful for my dog Abby. Abby is not used to my working so tends to be horrible anxious which doesn’t help my PTSD and then we feed off each others anxiety. Has been a blessing to feel secure that Abby is taken care of
We recently lost our other dog to old age and this was the first time Kaia was staying with a sitter by herself and our regular sitter was unavailable, so I was a little nervous for her, but Erich sent lots of pictures and funny updates that helped put my mind at ease while we were away. He has a great backyard space that Kaia loved hanging out in and I heard she particularly loved watching the chickens. She got along with Erich's pup as well and was happy and healthy when we picked her up. We would definitely use Erich as a sitter again. Thank you!
Erich did a great job with my pup for the week I was out of town! He sends regular picture updates and is quick to reply if you have any questions for him. I actually think my dog was a little bummed to come back home because he was able to keep her so busy. Highly recommend to anybody looking for boarding!
Sammi and Raven had a great time with Eric, he takes great care of them!
Erich was amazing. We had to leave our 14 month old high strung boxer for 7 days for the first time. Although it was hard on us Erich made us confident that everything would be good. He sent us videos and pictures daily and kept us updated about anything and everything that was going on. Our puppy was always happy and enjoying himself playing in the back yard with toys his dog other dogs and in the pool. Knowing our dog was welcomed and treated just the same as Erichs other dogs made our vacation less stressful. We will definitely being using Erich again as well as referring him to others. Thanks a bunch Erich!

Schedule
I work from home with flexible hours and have plenty of availability during the day for walks, drop-ins, play time or boarding for the right fit.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have a large fully fenced in yard with 6ft fence. My very friendly dog, Nyx, would love to have more friends to play with and help her win the war against the squirrels that she is losing terribly. We make sure to have a meet and greet with all potencial boarding dogs to ensure they are the right fit, as they need to be cat friendly and dog friendly. All animals coming into our home must be healthy and UTD on all vaccines.
Pets
A typical day
We have a 6 foot fenced in yard so we spend tons of time throwing toys/balls for at least 1-2 hours per day, and generally hanging out in our backyard. At night, we tend to cuddle up on the couch with any animals that want to rest and lay all over the humans. We also have what sometimes feels like an endless number of toys ranging from plush to super chewer. Our dog is truly spoiled so the most recent toy count has increased to over 50!
