Energetic, English-speaking dog lover and friend
Pet care experience
Some of my earliest responsibilities were caring for others’ pets. Neighbors, family, and friends have relied on me to walk, feed, and care for their pets since I was a kid. I’m a huge animal lover, and find it possible to bond with almost any pet due to my profound sense of kinship and solidarity with other creatures on this planet. I have a background in the US as a naturalist, environmental educator, and organizer in the nonprofit sector where I worked to connect communities with our beautiful yet fragile planet. I have a political worldview that is based in fierce love and defense of the natural world, and these sentiments have always been rooted in my earliest memories of caring for animals around me, ranging from turtles to kittens. I have prior experience with newborn kittens and puppies, and recently cared for my family’s own dog during his senior years as he reached the age of 16! I am an athletic, energetic, and enthusiastic person who wants to constantly be adventuring and on the go, so it comes naturally to me to match high energy pets! This makes me especially apt and fitted for dogs that need long walks and a high degree of activity each day, because I share those needs too! If you have any questions or want more details about the services I can provide, please don’t hesitate to reach out and ask away!
Reviews
Erik was briliant. Very easy to communicate with and very respectful of my flat when he stayed here. Sookie was in great condition when I returned and I think was much happier that she got to stay in her own home this time. Erik sent me photo updates and messages while I was away too. I wouldn't hesitate to have him dog sit in my flat again when needed. Erik a été brillant. Très facile à communiquer et très respectueux de mon appartement lorsqu'il y séjournait. Sookie était en pleine forme lorsque je suis revenue et je pense qu'elle était beaucoup plus heureuse de pouvoir rester dans sa propre maison cette fois-ci. Erik m'a envoyé des photos et des messages pendant mon absence. Je n'hésiterais pas à le faire garder dans mon appartement à nouveau en cas de besoin.
Erik has taken care of my animals for many years. I have one dog and five cats. He is not only reliable but he loves animals. Erik grew up with dogs himself and always has loved animals. I hired Erik many times over eight years to walk our dog, feed, and care for them when we are travelling. Additionally, he watched our five cats, always making sure they were happy, well fed and cared for. Erik treats animals as if they were his own and is a kind and gentle person with a great work ethic. I would always trust Erik to care for my animals and house sit for me for any length of time. Animals would be lucky to have Erik caring for them and I highly recommend him.
Erik has always loved the nature, which is why he is always very loving and gentle with animals. He had a dog named Remy whom he had for around 13 years until his passing. His love for animals and nature will never stop because he is a very caring person in general with his loved ones around him.
Erik is a very responsible and attentive dog sitter! He loves animals and does an amazing job caring for them. Erik will go on walks, offer playtime, belly rubs, and snuggles! He is a great communicator and will give you updates on your fur baby!

Safety, trust & environment
I am a very organized, particular person when it comes to cleanliness and safety. This primarily originates in my years of experience as a professionally and medically trained wilderness safety instructor, camp counselor, and lifeguard. I also worked as a water safety instructor, teaching lessons on how to swim to children and adults alike. For furry and fuzzy friends, I apply the same ethic of care to their health, safety, and wellbeing. I want to make your pet as comfortable and happy as they possibly can be while you are away, for comfort and peace of mind on all sides. I also am meticulous and respectful in caring for another’s home, and follow the mantra of leaving a place better than I found it. I also truly enjoy doing chores and sprucing up a place! This has been built by spending my teenage and early adult years so far caring for the pets of family friends and neighbors, experiences I always cherished and looked forward to.
