Fun Loving Animal Care Professional

Pet care experience

Hello greater Portland area. A little about myself: I am a corgi and a rescue pitty owner but I absolutely love all types of dogs. I practice and encourage positive reinforcement training for all. I provide a positive and happy environment for your animals so that they will thrive and flourish! I work well with all types of dogs; my specialty is with high energy varieties as I have the energy to match their pace and the experience to handle absolutely anything. I am also available for bathing and grooming! I have spent the majority of my 30 years working with animals. I have my BA in biology, working on a wildlife management masters. I have worked in animal shelters and handle all types of wildlife as my profession. I have owned a variety of animals growing up, volunteered and worked at several different shelters, trained/walked/pet-sat absolutely amazing dogs and cats, and groomed for over 20 years. Most importantly, I am a dedicated, loving, passionate pet owner. I promise to always be professional but personable, treat you with the respect you deserve, and love your animals like my own.

Erick was awesome when watching my energetic pup this past week! He gave me awesome updates about their walks and was very reliable! Looking forward to having him walk my dog again soon :)

Erick is by far one of the most dog-loving individuals I know. He has always taken our dog on walks, played with her in the backyard, and given her plenty of belly rubs. Erick enjoys the work that he does and can get dogs active and running, but is disciplined enough to know when to calm the dogs down. He has worked at numerous shelters over the years and cares about each and every dog that came through. So much so that he even checks up on them after they get adopted. Erick has been around dogs his whole life, ranging from tiny German Shepherd puppies to giant, old Newfoundlands. He not only has the basic skills to care for dogs but also has some medical knowledge, in case an issue were ever to arise. I would trust Erick to care for my dog above anyone else I know.

Erick is an incredibly responsible and caring person. I'm very picky about who takes care of my dog, and I know I can always trust Erick to take good care of him. It also helps that Erick is so good with my dog and my dog absolutely adores him. Erick also has a lot of pet knowledge and experience, so he would be a great addition to the Rover team and would make an excellent pet care provider.

Erick is a responsible and trustworthy person who would be the perfect pet sitter and/or dog walker. Erick loves animals, has been around them his entire life, and connects with them naturally. Fantastic with large dogs.

Safety, trust & environment

I am always careful for bolters, door security is a top priority. There are no extended alone times in my yard either for sneaky escape attempts. There are plenty of supervised play times, loving cuddles, and on time feedings. I happily do whatever their routine is so your pupper doesn't feel completely put off from their parent's absence.

Information Erick W. would like to know about your pet

I would like honest information as to your dogs behavioral tendencies regarding: food, strangers, children, dogs, dogs on leash, and other animals. I record any food/environmental allergies. I have no breed preferences but I do specialize in large dogs.

A typical day

I love to walk and explore new and old areas. I will explore woods, parks, fields, paths, lakes, creeks... anything! So be sure to ask about an adventure package! Transportation is responsible and safe, buckled into my cars' back seats which are set up to safely accommodate and dog. I love to be outdoors and my activities reflect that. I also will visit dog parks and other locations upon request and behaviour assessment while providing close monitoring to ensure proper socialization. I am never careless with these outings and encourage my adventure outing over dog parks.
