Actively accommodating all dogs!

Pet care experience

Hi, my name is Erik! I love all dogs and can accommodate any dog's physical needs. Does your dog have endless amounts of energy? Awesome, I’ll run with your dog. Is your dog older and just needs a slow walk with plenty of time to sniff everything? Sweet, I'll make sure that's what he/she gets. Does your dog not do well around other dogs? No problem, I ALWAYS make sure to steer clear of places that are likely to have dogs but still provide the best walk possible! I'm here to take care of your dog the way you would want me to. You can rest assured that when you leave me with your dog, he/she will be safe and happy. I will also be sure to constantly remind your dog of how much you miss him or her. Ever since I was a kid, my family has always had at least one dog that I had to at least partially take care of. Even to this day, my family has two of the same dogs I grew up with and have since added another. I now have my own dog, who I've had for just over seven years now, and couldn't be happier. My little buddy has really bad separation anxiety and I work hard everyday to minimize it as much as possible. Dogs are the best companions and I strive to love them back as much as they love me (which I know is impossible). I'm really excited to meet as many dogs and give them the love that they deserve.

Erik is amazing, he has been our dogs walker for the longest time, sometimes I think our dog loves him more than us ;). Very responsible and respectful.

Erik walked our dog daily for a week. He arrived right on time every morning, he was friendly and professional, and our doggie loved her walks. I definitely recommend Erik and look forward to future walks!

Safety, trust & environment

They both get quality food because the repercussions of a bad diet are far more expensive. We use no toxic chemicals in our house for the unrelenting insect population here in the PNW because my cat will inevitably find and lick them up. My backyard is FILLED with weeds and I pick them by hand, every week. I would never spray some toxic chemical that could inadvertently hurt my dog. My pets are my world.

Information Erik L. would like to know about your pet

The only dogs that I won't work with are the ones that put my physical safety at risk! I'm very patient with pets as most of the time they are just nervous or scared, especially when meeting a stranger. That is one of the reasons why I always schedule a meet-and-greet before I agree to any services!

A typical day

I prioritize what the owner requests as far as where I take dogs on walks. If there's no real preference then I generally find a walk that maximizes length, shade, sniffs, and of course safety.

I treat my pets like I would my children (thank goodness I don't have any of those!). Taking care of them is hard work. My entire day revolves around making sure that they are happy and healthy. I'm living in a house with a backyard specifically so my dog has a better day-to-day life. I also manually brush my pets teeth along with the veterinary teeth cleaning costs. I am poor so they can live rich and I wouldn't have it any other way.
