Keep your fuzzy human happy!

Pet care experience

What makes me unique? Throughout my four years as an undergrad at Loyola I would take care of the university's therapy dog on the weekends. Tivo has a reputation all around Chicago. On warm days I would walk him out to the lakefront beach only to find he was covered in sand within seconds. I would play catch with him for hours on the campus quad during study breaks where he would sometimes jump in the fountain to cool off. In my unique experience with Tivo, he would ultimately listen at the end of the day when I had to bring him home. It's ironic that I'll be a doctor soon in that sometimes I have tendencies to pay attention more to animals than people.

Whether it's at Lurie Children's Hospital in Chicago or Hines VA in Hines IL, Erik shows great effort in his volunteer work. Erik would show just as much dedication sitting with a dog. I have seen Erik with a variety of animals including: dogs, birds and rabbits. Animals can sense when a person has a good heart. Erik makes friends with every animal he meets because they sense his good nature.

About Erik L.

Skills

5 years of experience
Oral medication administration
First aid/CPR

Information Erik L. would like to know about your pet

Knowing their personality would be big, but if not it's no big deal--I can adapt. I like huskies but open to any breed.

A typical day

I like going on runs/walks/bike rides through the salt creek paths and around the Elmhurst forest preserve. Like I said above, if the pup's up for it playing catch is a must.
