Pet care experience
All the Creature-Comforts of H❤️ME!
Greetings future friend and paw pal! 🐾 My name is Erick and I am a seasoned pet-owner and animal care specialist with 15 years of experience. While pets weren’t allowed in my childhood home, I discovered a natural connection with animals. From house-sitter for friends to building a winter shelter for strays, I found that I was able to read and understand critters of all sorts while exuding a calm, nonthreatening demeanor. I took my natural skill further by studying not only best pet-care practices but also animal psychology and body language. I continue to stay up to date on the latest methodologies and research. I provide and utilize a series of tools not only for stimulation and enrichment, but to also correct undesirable behavior such as: 🍖Overeating and/or eating too quickly 🏄 Counter surfing 😿Separation anxiety ⛈️ Severe weather anxiety 💪Leash pulling I am also versed in training methods based on the Fear-Free pedagogy. I can enforce and work on your current training regimen and offer solicited insight on approaches I would recommend to ameliorate issues.

Erick b is the best
Erick is amazing with our pets!
Erik always does a great job. My little guy is older and Erik always takes extra special care with him to ensure he’s comfortable and still part of the activities.
Leia had a great time with Erick. He took great care of Leia while I was out of town. I am looking forward to booking with him again!

Schedule
I am currently in between jobs so my schedule is virtually wide open for the time being. As my sole source of income, I will be taking on multiple bookings at once, so there will be times I need to leave for house-calls, but nothing for extended periods of time.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Before agreeing to a booking, I ideally would like to set-up a preliminary meeting where I can meet your critter and gauge our chemistry. While I am a veteran sitter, sometimes the chemistry isn’t there and I or your pet would be best served with a different sitter. If we are a good fit, I have the owners fill out a questionnaire outlining care needs and expectations. As part of my services, I keep an open line of communication and can be reached 24/7. You will receive at least one correspondence from me a day including photos and a daily report card for your critter. As for house-sitting visits, I provide my own food and toiletries with the exception of paper products. I don’t require much and am very low maintenance. Overall, I aim to leave your living space exactly how you left it. While I am by no means a “neat-freak”, I expect your living space to be habitable especially for house-sitting overnight. I just ask that full trash be changed out, sink clear of dishes, and any perishable food taken care of in correlation to the length of your absence. Thank You!

A typical day
Outside of of the routine laid out in your care notes, I look to maximize the services I offer by stimulation and enrichments. I like to use food puzzles, positive conditioning training, DogTV, search games etc.
