Ratings and reviews
Eric and his family were delightful. I appreciated the constant pics and videos throughout the day and recommended Eric to anyone.
This was my first ever booking with Rover and I was a bit apprehensive. However Erik just mitigated all my concerns out. He is amazingly responsive-there was not a single message to him (right from the preliminary ones, to the meet and greet to dropping off our pet and to the pick up) then went unanswered for more than 5 mins. When someone is so good at messaging it automatically puts your mind at ease. What is great about Erik is its not that him thats involved-its his family as well between his wife and his son. They were all hands on with my Austin including feeding him, walking him etc. My pet got a lot of walks during the time he spent (and we got to know thanks to the many video and photo updates we got). We were at peace during our holiday as we kept getting these videos and photos and knew Austin is being well taken care of. Will definitely recommend Erik for anyone looking to take care of their pets. Thank you Erik and family
Did a great job, gave several updates, I would book Erik again anytime
Erik and his wife took very good care of our dog Oreo! Highly recommended! Thank you very much.
Erik and his wife did an amazing job watching our Husky! They sent me multiple pictures and videos of him at the dog park at their apartment complex and the walks they went on. They were very fast to respond to my initial inquiry and also were very communicative during our dog’s stay. If we ever need an Austin pet sitter, we will be utilizing them again!!
Erik and his family took such wonderful care of our pup. 🐶❤️They were attentive, kind, and kept us updated, which gave us so much peace of mind while we were away. We came back to a happy, well-loved dog, and we couldn’t be more grateful for the care they provided.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Boarding- I make all animals feel at home in my house, I will always be present if need be or not away for more then 2-3hrs. I will remain in contact with the pet parent and keep updates on their pet(s). I will take them out regularly for pee/poo breaks and exercise. I will feed them as directed and any other care that is needed such as medications, bathing, and topical or therapy treatments. Sitting- I enjoy meeting the animals in their own home, and do my best to always make sure the routines are set in place just as normal when the pet parent(s) are away. I will remain in contact with them and give any updates during the sitting. I will promise to take care of the home and be of service to the pet at all times when needed. Doggy daycare- For the daycare services, they are welcomed into my home. I will set up a routine with the daytime services that are requested by the pet parent(s). Drop Ins- I will do the amounted time that is required, and take excellent care of the pet(s). Do what is required and asked of me by the pet parent(s) for drop-in care. Walks- I will walk the pet(s) as needed and requested by the pet parent(s) and make sure they get the recommended time of walk, exercise needed, as well as monitoring the pet(s) abilities during the service; such as, weather conditions, duration of the walk, exhaustion of the pet(s), and if the pet is needing water when returning from walks.
