Availability

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.

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.

Information Erik M. would like to know about your pet

Please share any special needs, routines, or quirks your dog has so I can give them the best care. I’m comfortable with all breeds and sizes, and I’m happy to adjust my care to match your dog’s personality and energy level.

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.

Dog lover & remote worker

Pet care experience

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 an amazing sitter for our dog Cece! He provided frequent updates and really cared for her. I can tell she had a bunch of fun with him.
