Availability
As a home-based artist, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to spend plenty of time with the pets in my care. My days typically include working from home, which means I can provide regular attention, companionship, walks, playtime, feeding, and check-ins throughout the day. I strive to keep pets on their normal routines and provide updates so you can feel confident while you're away.

About Erik G.
Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
I understand that every pet and household is unique. Before each booking, I take time to learn your pet's routines, preferences, medications, and any special instructions. I pay close attention to safety, keep doors and gates secure, monitor behavior and health, and make sure pets receive the care and attention they need. I treat every home with respect and will provide regular updates and photos so you know how your pet is doing while you're away.

Home-Based Artist Who Loves Animals
Pet care experience
Ever since I was a kid, I've loved animals. Growing up, my family had both cats and dogs, and I always enjoyed getting to know their unique personalities. I spent time playing with them, caring for them, and even drawing them. In 2014, I adopted my first pet as an adult, Momo, a sweet cat with short legs and a big personality. In 2020, our family grew again with Oogi, a playful corgi. Through caring for them, I gained years of hands-on experience with feeding routines, exercise, enrichment, grooming, training, and veterinary care. Oogi and I completed multiple training classes together, and I spent time learning about dog behavior and body language to better understand and communicate with dogs. I also cared for Momo throughout his senior years, including administering medications and supporting him through medical treatments. As a home-based artist, I have a flexible schedule that allows me to provide plenty of attention, companionship, walks, playtime, and care throughout the day. I understand how important pets are because mine have always been family, and I will treat your pets with the same love, patience, and respect I would want for my own.

Reviews
I’ve seen firsthand how much Erik cares for animals. He has cared for his own pets over the years and has also looked after my cat, Chili, many times. He’s reliable, attentive, and patient, and I always know Chili is in good hands with him. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Erik to anyone looking for a dependable pet sitter.
Erik is incredibly responsive and attentive with my dog. I always feel completely comfortable and safe with having him take my dog out on walks throughout the week and he has also dog sat for us several times. My dog is always so excited to see him, which really says a lot about the care and affection he gives. I highly recommend trying out his services!
