The Honorary Cow Hollow Dog Sitter
Pet care experience
I love all animals, but dogs hold a special place in my heart. Growing up, I always had a dog in the house, but when I moved out to San Francisco I had to make the tough decision of leaving my dog Cooper back home with my mom in Arizona. I haven't gotten around to getting another dog yet, but to fill the void, I have slowly but surely become the go to dog watcher for all of my friends when they go out of town, and also the self proclaimed Honorary dog sitter in my neighborhood! I already have 3 regulars that I have built a great relationship with (dogs and owners), so I decided why not give Rover a shot to try and start watching more dogs. I have a really spacious one bedroom apartment in Cow Hollow, so there is plenty of room for dogs of all sizes. I work from home/remotely so my work schedule is always flexible. This makes it really easy for me to give your pups the proper attention they need and also a peace of mind for you knowing that they are never left unattended for long periods of time. I know that all dog owners are different and everybody has their own idea and vision of how they want their dog to be taken care of, and that is something I give the utmost respect to. I try to put myself in your shoes because I know from experience how stressful it is to leave your dog behind and under somebody else's supervision. I can guarantee your dog will be happy when they are here, but the one thing for me that takes precedence over everything is ensuring that they are safe! I have always been very careful and watchful with my dogs, and that extends even more so when I'm entrusted with yours. Other than that, I'm about as easy going as it gets when it comes to watching dogs and will tailor to whatever your needs and requirements are!
Reviews
Erik is the most loving, patient, and caring dog sitter I've ever met. Whether it is one day or two weeks - dogs love him and he cares for them as if they were his own. Erik is the only dog sitter I'd ever use!
Erik was great and updated me throughout Hayes' stay! Would definitely recommend him to watch your dog.
To say I would recommend Erik as a dog sitter is an understatement. He has watched our dog numerous occasions and has gone above and beyond providing us with peace of mind. He is attentive, courteous, flexible, and above all a true dog lover. Our dog requires some special care and he handles it with a professionalism that is unparalleled. My wife and I would highly recommend Erik to watch your dog.
Erik happens to be a good friend and anytime my wife and I leave town he's the first person we call to watch our furry friend Rigatoni "Tony." We trust Erik implicitly with our dog. Anytime we go pick up our dog he never wants to come home.

I definitely don't discriminate and love all breeds! The only thing I would maybe need to know is if they happen to bark (constant - an occasional bark is totally fine) during times when they are alone. I'll always be around, but there might be short periods of time where I'm in the city for meetings during the week. I have a neighbor in my building who also works from home, so I definitely want to try and respect her space, and a continuous bark could potentially pose an issue.
A typical day
This goes hand in hand with my self description above. I am definitely an active person, but that doesn't mean your dog has to be. I live on a great block (Green St.) for normal walks down the street (I can take them on as many as you prefer) and there are two parks within walking distance from me if you are okay and feel comfortable with me taking your dog there to run around. Beyond that, I'm open to what you and your dog like best.
