Eager pet lover ready to help!

I have grown up around cats and dogs my whole life; I currently own 5 cats with my family and have 2 huskies and a chihuahuas with my partner. My friends and family have relied on me previously to watch their furry loved ones, from pit bull mixes to little shitzu pups, I don’t discriminate!

Erik watched Cashew last minute and they had a great time :) He was super communicative and a great problem-solver. Highly recommend!

I always appreciate Erik being here with my crazy bunch! He seems to handle them with ease and a positive attitude. Usually he always sends at least one picture update , which I didn't get this time, but that doesn't take away from the fact they and I trust him being here! Thanks for always being willing and accommodating for my crazy bunch! Next time send tons of pictures lol :) and thanks for always putting up a worrying dog mom , I know I'm a lot lol

I always worry my dogs will be such a handful for Erik but he always reassures me they are doing fine and he doesn't mind the chaos that is my pack! I hope he loves the dogs as much as I know they love being with him!

I always appreciate the updates Erik gives me and the pictures he will send. My dogs can be a lot to handle and he does it with ease and never complains to me about anything going on. He adapts well to the chaos

Let me know if your pet has any special needs or requirements. I’m more that happy to do my best to accommodate and learn to best care for your pet. I am fairly easy to teach and quick to learn any routines they may be used to. I do also have a beard and long hair if some pets are wary of certain appearances.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
