Highlights
Pet care experience
Joyful ball of optimism!
I have been in the pet-sitting scene for 3 years now! Started with friends and family, then branched out from there! I've learned how to care for a variety of animals, including dogs, cats, birds, and my favorite type of pet: rodents (Guinea Pigs are the Best!). Taken care of older pets that need medications and careful care, as well as young and energetic pets that need some more playtime and enrichment! I believe one of the most important skills to have to be a great pet sitter is proper and clear communication with the owners. I communicate how often an owner would want! I would communicate with videos and pictures of your pet's adventures, or communicate any concerns if any arise. I want to make sure that while you're away, you can rest easy knowing your pet is safe and happy! :) I do work part-time as of right now, typically working 15-25 hours a week. I mostly work morning shifts from 10:30-5:00, but usually leave an hour early. If you need me to stay most of the day, please let me know at least a month in advance; I would happily take off work! There are a few things I would like to know about your furry little friend: 1. How often do they need to go out? 2. How much enrichment do they need? 3. Do they take any medication? 4. Do they have any triggers I should be concerned about? 5. Do they have a good understanding of commands? (It's ok if not :3) 6. How long can they be left alone? Please inform me of anything I need to know. I want to make sure your baby/babies are taken care of! I can't wait to meet some new friends!

Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I ensure I’m properly informed of your pets making sure I know their personality, if they have medication, habits, etc. I make sure they have plenty of enrichment through the day and I love to update my clients of their pets well-being by sending pictures, videos, and more!
Ratings and reviews
Erick was wonderful with all of our pets! He took care of our "zoo" while we were on vacation. Two dogs, two cats, 5 birds, two fish tanks and a pond with Koi fish. He is reliable, communicative, and sent great photo updates during the stay. I had complete peace of mind knowing my pet was in such good hands, and everything was left neat and clean. We would definitely book Erick again and highly recommend them!
Erick has been my pet caregiver for over a year now!! He’s watched over both of my fur babies Tyson (dog) and my Lou Lou (cat). He’s always making sure my sweet Tyson gets his outside time for potty breaks, walks, and playtime. As well as making sure Lou Lou doesn’t feel left out since he’s strictly an indoor cat. Erick is excellent at following instructions and does an amazing job with communicating with me. Not only am I confident in him, but my babies feel the safest with him as well!!
Erick is one of the most dependable, caring people you could ever trust with your pets. He is naturally attentive to their routines, extremely gentle, and treats every animal like his own. Whether it’s keeping them active, making sure they’re comfortable, or providing regular updates, he brings total peace of mind. I cannot recommend him highly enough as a responsible and loving pet caregiver.
Erick is an amazing caregiver because he is always so considerate when it comes to the worries I have with my pets. He also takes the time to keep me updated throughout the day by sending me videos and pictures to calm my worries.
Erick has been wonderful taking care of my zoo at home while my family was gone for a week! He managed two big dogs, two cat, three birds, outside pond fish, inside tropical fish, and three axolotls! No problems with any other them when we got back. They all loved him and were snuggling him by the second day! Definitely recommend!!
