Flexible, last-minute sitter

Pet care experience

I have experience with small dogs and special needs dogs. I had a paralyzed mini Dachshund who needed full time care and I currently own a blind and partially deaf shih tzu. My history with dogs started when I was 5 years old and ever since then, I have had a big heart for all dogs. I understand their needs and I interact with them very well. I also have experience with cats and their special needs. *Fixed dogs only* Your pup would stay in the second or third floor with Stinky the Shih Tzu, who is super calm and sweet. I usually walk Stinky for a good 15 minutes in the morning and 20-30 minutes in the evening. She's not a big fan of walking being a shih tzu, but I do enjoy the outdoors and would love to run/jog at Hermann Park with your dog if they're active enough.

Erick was great with my dog! He sent pictures every day and I would definitely have Elvis stay with Erick again!

Erick provided loving care for our 17 yr old pup for 2 wks. He came home happy and not traumatized. Erick knows how to give proper care & attention and that was so important to us.

Erick really is an animal lover and has been a loving parent to several dogs of his own in the 6 years I have known him. I have entrusted him to take care of my Chihuahua terrier on occasions when I have been out of town, and my dog has grown to love him. Erick is patient, playful, and most of all, responsible. Highly recommended!

Information Erick G. would like to know about your pet

I prefer small and medium sized dogs. All breeds are fine but I have personal experience with Dachshunds and Shih Tzu's. Dogs must be fixed and must be able to get along with my dog. A meetup is necessary before a booking to a ensure your pup is a good match with mine.

A typical day

I frequently run a whole lap at Memorial Park and it would be great to have a running companion. I can also walk your dog around your neighborhood. I have taken my dog to the bark park off Westpark and 610 West, and it's a great park for dogs to roam around leash-free. If your dog likes playing fetch, I can do that with them as well. If your dog wants to relax at home and take it easy, then we can do that too!
