Kind & Nurturing Dog Lover

Pet care experience

I’ve always been the person family and friends call on to take care of their dogs when they’re not able to—and for good reason, I’m a dog lover with a ton of personal experience who cares wholeheartedly about the pups in my care. I found my own pitbull, Jay, tied to a tree, left alone for hours. We gave him water and stayed with him until the police arrived. It meant a lot to save Jay from the abuse he suffered and he has come a long way since that day we found him. I chalk it up to the endless amounts of love—and walks—he has received since coming into our family! I teach Monday through Friday from 8:45 a.m. to 3:15 p.m. and am available before and after that for all your pet-sitting and dog-walking needs. My clients appreciate the high level of customer service I provide and the fact that I always keep my word. There are no empty promises here—I do as I say and say as I do! I’m extremely compassionate, kind and have a concise and clear communication style that provides clarity and comfort to my clients. I understand their lives are busy and I work hard to make sure I am a source of ease and comfort in their lives and that they never have to worry about their pup when in my care! My home has cameras installed throughout the property and I give my clients live access for the duration of their dog’s stay when boarding in my home. I accommodate all needs, even the trickiest ones! There is literally nothing I won’t do for your dog, and I wouldn’t have it any other way! I live an extremely active lifestyle, watching the sun rise every morning, sticking to a strict yoga practice, and running and walking the dogs frequently. Thanks for stopping by—I can’t wait to meet you!

Erik has been wonderful looking after my 2 year old hound mix Marcella! He is caring and attentive and gave her tons of exercise--she returned from doggie day care with Erik calm and tired and happy as a clam. She's even started pulling me towards his place on walks! Altogether a great experience--thank you!

Erik was amazing! My little baby Toast was so sad to see him go. They were basically best friends! Erik is so thorough in his care-taking and is so so sweet. I didn’t realize I had ran out of doggy pads and he just went and got them and didn’t even have a complaint. He is honestly the best, definitely utilizing him again.

Erik is the absolute best! He’s is the consummate professional and extremely responsive and sensitive to my and my dog, Roxy, needs. I have had experience with other dog walking services since adopting Roxy in 2011, and none have even come close to Erik. Roxy is a rescue and can be extremely nervous, and Erik walks Daisy every day, he’s absolutely amazing! I love the pictures and updates and know I can count on him 110%!

My dog Cooper does not like men. It takes a long time for him to warm up to men for some reason. However, a very good friend of mine recommended Erik, so I gave him a go. I was amazed seeing Cooper be so comfortable with Erik sooner than usual, and that said everything. Dogs can see the light within people, so I knew Erik was the right choice. Erik was very kind, professional, and made sure Cooper had fun. He was worn out by the end of the day with Erik, and passed out immediately after food and water. I couldn't be more happy and will definitely be using Erik again.
