Pet care experience

Dog lover with years of experience!

Hi, my name is Erik! I have worked for local businesses (As well as Wag so I have a bit of app experience too) walking, training, boarding, and sitting dogs for a little over 7 years now. I love animals, being outside, and meeting new pups. Located in Bushwick, I'm a quick bike ride away from Williamsburg, Bed Stuy, Ridgewood, etc. I have no problem taking the train to further neighborhoods as well. I've lived in New York for a 11 years now so navigating around the city is no issue. I was raised in a animal loving house and couldn't be happier working with the them.

Safety, trust & environment

I get down to their level and let them inspect/smell me. I tend to pass the sniff test. I don't mind taking the time to wait until the pup is comfortable before going on our walk.

Erik is amazing! He is very attentive to our Toby and Toby adores him! We also had a last minute emergency as the charity walk we do every year was suddenly changed to a new location that does not allow dogs and we had no one to watch our puppy who has not trained to be alone yet so he came to our rescue and for that we are very, very grateful. He was great with TOBY. He walked him. He played with him and he fed him. He was very attentive. I highly recommend Erik!

Erik was awesome! Came by for a meet and greet and was super communicative and followed all of the instructions to make sure that my dog had a safe fun walk! She looked stoked in the photo :)
