Pet care experience

Hi, I’m Erick! I’ve cared for dogs since childhood and have years of experience walking, sitting, and making pups feel safe and loved. I recently started working as a school bus driver, which shows the patience and responsibility I bring to everything I do. My schedule is: • Mon–Fri: Available 9:30–11 AM & after 6 PM • Weekends: Fully open Even though Rover shows I don’t send photos 100% of the time, that’s only because I usually text updates and photos directly to owners for faster communication. Rest assured, you’ll always know how your pup is doing! Whether it’s a walk or drop-in, I’ll treat your dog like family and keep their routine consistent.

Erick has been an absolute pleasure to work with. He's very communicative, and has excellent time management. My dog loves the treats he brings on walks and my dog is a picky eater. I would definitely book with him again.

Erick has been amazing with our newly adopted German Shepherd Ben. He's been very helpful as he bonds with Ben. It has been a bit rough the first couple of days due to Ben getting to know Erick. Ben hasn't had the greatest past, and was hesitant in fully trusting Erick but Erick has really gone above and beyond to build a relationship with Ben. We are getting there slowly but surely. We can't recommend Erick enough, he really loves what he does, and the pups he cares for, and he really likes Ben a lot! We are looking forward to continuing having Erick as Ben's dog walker.

Erick is a great dog walker, I’d book him again! He took his time to ask lots of questions about Alice. She felt very comfortable with him and took a liking for him very quickly. Erick sent us lots of pictures and videos of his arrival, during walks, and even after. To go above and beyond he would take his time to wipe her paws and privates after each walk. The attention to detail truly made us feel that she was in great hands. It was great meeting Erick, my husband and I were very happy with the quality of his service and so was our girl Alice! 10 out of 10!!!!

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Highly Recommend Erick Torres – The Kairo Cup! We cannot say enough great things about Erick Torres with The Kairo Cup. Every year at the beginning of January, my partner and I travel from the Bronx, NY to Coral Springs, FL with our elderly snowbird friends. We usually stay through my birthday and return at the end of the month, then make another trip back in April or May to bring them home. During these trips, having someone we can truly trust with our dog is essential. We have a 3-year-old Doberman Pinscher named Dino, and he is a big, strong boy who needs confident and experienced handling. Erick has been nothing short of amazing. He consistently kept us fully updated on every walk, immediately communicated anything that needed attention, and was always quick to respond whenever we reached out. Erick is professional, reliable, and genuinely caring, and it gave us total peace of mind knowing Dino was in such good hands while we were away. My partner and I are incredibly grateful to have met such a dependable and trustworthy dog walker. We will absolutely use Erick’s services again and highly recommend him to anyone in need of top-notch dog walking services. Dino loves him—and so do we!
