Pet care experience
Pet Care with Care
Over the 15 years I’ve been house sitting professionally, I’ve had the pleasure of caring for puppies to sr. dogs, kittens to sr. cats, lizards, fish, birds, and even farm animals. My goal when I care for your pet is to keep your pet in the routine to which they are accustomed. That means I follow your written instructions, as far their feeding time, walk time, etc. Though, I also want your vacation to feel like a staycation for your pet. That means I’m going to have fun with them whether that means giving them belly rubs, playing fetch with them or playing other fun games with them. Also, please note that you can hire me for overnights, dog walks, or both. So, my price for overnight stays is to stay in your home and care for your pet, but dog walking is separate from overnight stays. During my stay, as much as I will care for you pet(s), I will also care for your home. I’m happy to water any plants, bring in any deliveries/mail, take out the trash and other light chores (I won’t mow your lawn).
Cat care experience

Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
As far as caring for pets in my home, I am only able to board certain breeds of dogs, and that is contingent on the permission of the homeowner. I am unable to care for cats in my home, but I would be able to come to your home.. In general, I always care for your pet according to your schedule and preference. And I am always sure to adjust my schedule according to the schedule you set for me to ensure your pet receives optimal care. But the key to pet sitting is to emulate the routine to which the dog is already accustomed. My goal is that when you go on vacation your pet(s) will feel like they're on a staycation. Also, please note while I charge $65 per day, I charge separately for walks ($20 per walk). For pets that do not require walks (cats, sr. dogs, etc), I charge $75 a day.
Ratings and reviews
Erick has been house sitting and taking care of our dogs for probably 3 years. Our dogs always seem very happy when Erick has stayed with them! Erick is always on time and very communicative wth texts and photos. We are comfortable and at ease knowing our dogs are being well taken care of with the attention they need. Erick always cleans up after himself and leaves our home the way he finds it. Erick is a very nice man and very trustworthy. I would recommend Erick for your house sitting and pet needs!
Erick took care of our little high energy kitty for close to two weeks and did a great job. He sent us pics of her being cuddly and she was happy and healthy when we returned. He also did a great job caring for our apartment. We highly recommend Erick!
Erick has dog-sat for us 3 times, each time for a week or longer. We have an older dog that takes medication twice a day, and does not like to be alone when the sun goes down. Every time Erick has stayed with our dog, he arrived within the timeframe we requested and sent us a photo of our dog. We know our dog is loved and well cared for when we are gone because, when we return home, the dog is happy to see us, engages with us, and doesn't give us the cold shoulder. Erick is reliable, trustworthy and an animal lover! We have recommended him to friends and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a "substitute parent" for their fur baby!
Erick has been dog/house sitting for us for several years. He is awesome! We have 2 dogs and they love him. He truly cares about them as evidenced by their happiness when he comes. He also cares for our home while we are away (he stays here the entire time), and I don't think twice or worry about the dogs or the house at all while we are gone. I know that both are in good hands and well cared for. He is conscientious, punctual and keeps the house in perfect shape. And most importantly he a kind, caring and trustworthy person. I highly, highly recommend him!!
