Dog's Best Friend

I have been caring for dogs both personally and professionally for 24 years. I've worked with every breed, and I love them all! As well as having my own dog growing up, I've also worked as a dog daycare supervisor and have worked with various clients, friends, family, and neighbors as their most trusted dog walker & pet sitter. As a freelance writer who works from home (or anywhere with internet access) I will always be available for your pet. If you need someone to take your dog on a fun walk or stay with them while you go on vacation, I would be more than happy to help out. I work with all breeds and sizes and have experience caring for dogs with special needs.

Toots loves Erik! He’s a great walker and very cognizant of the elements, especially if it’s too hot for a normal walk. Highly recommend him!

Perfect dog walker for my high strung Boykin Spaniel and Tootsie loves him!

Tootsie was quite happy to see Erik and this was her first outing with him! I think the two of them are a perfect fit. He can handle her high energy and it gives me a break!
