Highlights
Pet care experience
Your pet is family to me!
Dogs have been a part of my life since 2007, and caring for them has always felt natural. Roxie is my spayed pup and she’s genuinely friendly with every dog she meets. She loves having company and new playmates. I’m in DTLA in an apartment community with a dog play area, so there’s space for dogs to get some energy out and have a good time. I’m also happy to send photo updates throughout the day so you can see how your pup is doing. Your dog will be cared for the same way I’d want Roxie cared for: safe, comfortable, and with attention to their routine. If there’s anything specific they need (feeding schedule, meds, crate time, boundaries), just let me know and I’ll do my best to accommodate. I work remotely, but once in a while I may need to go into the office for about 4 to 6 hours. If that happens, your pup will be set up with everything they need before I head out.

Ratings and reviews
Great communication, sitter also gave very detailed feedback at the end of the sitting. My dog really enjoyed the stay and left very happy. Thank you!
He is excellent! Very professional!
2nd time with Erik and he was great! Very communicative and flexible. Will definitely have him sit our pups again.
Erik was so great with my pup Mika! He was very communicative and send lots of pics/videos and updates. He took my dog to the park and hung out with him and I know my dog will be excited to stay again with Erik next time!
Erik was so accommodating and gave me such peace of mind for my first time leaving my dog for this long. He provided a personalized experience for my dog and we will definitely be back.
Thank you for taking care of my dog

Schedule
Pet care fits naturally into my routine because I work remotely and keep a steady daily schedule. Most days I’m home, so dogs get plenty of attention, playtime, and regular potty breaks throughout the day, not just mornings and evenings. On the occasional day I need to go into the office for about 4 to 6 hours, dogs are still set up comfortably with everything they need beforehand, and the rest of the day is back to normal care, walks, and check-ins.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Safety and comfort come first in my home. I keep a calm, clean space, supervise interactions (especially during introductions), and follow any house rules you share like feeding routines, crate time, or boundaries on furniture. Doors and entryways are handled carefully to prevent door-dashing, and walks and potty breaks are done on a consistent schedule. If your dog has special needs, triggers, or medication, I stick closely to your instructions and keep you updated with photos and notes.
Pets
A typical day
Dogs will be walked frequently in the morning and afternoon and on weekends I enjoy taking Roxie to the dog parks, so your pet could join as well if you'd like.
