Eager pet lover ready to help!

Pet care experience

I have grown up around cats and dogs my whole life; I currently own 5 cats with my family. 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 was awesome. He took care of my energetic dog Cashew in my apartment for 2.5 weeks, and it went super well. He sent photos and videos every couple days, with updates to let me know how it was going. Cashew seemed to love him. I would 100% recommend Erik!

Erik did an excellent job with Zoe. She doesn’t take to people quickly, but she did with Erik. In the past when we left her she stayed mainly in our bedroom. Erik sent me picture of her sitting on the coach with him. I was truly surprised! He was friendly and thoughtful. This was our first time having an in house sitter. I will definitely call Erik for future sittings!

We really enjoyed Erik. He is very kind and helpful. He responded quickly and provided lots of updates on how our kitty was doing everyday. I would highly recommend him to anyone and will use his services again in the future!

Erik did a good job with our two skittish cats. He even managed to send photos of them as they got more comfortable with him. All was well when we got home and everything here was in good shape, kitties included!

I can follow instructions very well to meet the needs of most pets; and if it’s something specific I’m more than happy to learn it!

Information Erik A. would like to know about your pet

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.

A typical day

General walks around the block are my go tos! Any sort of stimulation I can provide I’m going to, from running around out in the yard, to playing ball or tug-o-war with their favorite rope or toy.
