Highlights
Pet care experience
Dog lover & remote worker
I’m a dog lover and media strategist who’s new to New York. I can’t have a pup of my own because of frequent work travel, but when I’m home, I’m all in on giving dogs the love, care, and playtime they deserve. I’ve cared for dogs of every size and energy level since I was 10, and friends, family, and neighbors have trusted me to walk, feed, and even bathe their pups. Your dog will have plenty of company while I work remotely and a new buddy for belly rubs and adventures.

Erik did a great job with my nervous new rescue dog! I would definitely recommend him and will reach out to him for care in the future!

Erik was awesome with my pittie! He was highly responsive, on time, and I can tell my pit loved him. Would definitely recommend!
I had a great experience with Erik walking my dog, Brakes, for the first time. He was extremely communicative throughout the walk, sending me plenty of updates and photos, which gave me so much peace of mind. Erik is also very flexible and cares about the dogs he looks after. Brakes was in great hands, and I highly recommend booking with him!

Schedule
I work remotely from 9 to 6 pm, so I’m home and available throughout the week to care for your pup. They’ll have plenty of attention, walks, and company while I work since my company is super flexible and I don’t have to be glued to the screen 24/7.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I live alone in a comfortable, tidy apartment filled with natural light. There’s a large balcony with a high railing where, if allowed, your dog can sunbathe and watch the world go by as I work beside them. My building has a private patio, and the quiet tree-lined street outside has grassy patches perfect for quick breaks and strolls.
A typical day
I love keeping dogs happy and engaged. We’ll start with a walk around my quiet, tree-lined neighborhood, play fun games, and enjoy balcony or patio time for fresh air. If they’re up for it, we’ll visit the nearby park for more exploring and sniffing adventures.
