Safety, trust & environment

I take notes and pay close attention during meet and greets to ensure I treat my clients’ pets exactly as they wish, and have no problem handling special needs (medicine, bathroom issues, etc.)

Information Erik N. would like to know about your pet

During the meet and greet I like to know how the dog will interact with other people and dogs, what their feeding routine is like, their bathroom routine, where they sleep, if they need to be caged, medicine needs, vet information and location of first aid materials in case of an accident. I also keep an active line of communication for any issues that crop up while caring for a clients’ dog.

A typical day

Depending on the weather I love to spend 30-60 minutes per day outside with the dogs I watch to ensure they get enough exercise to remain happy and healthy unless the client requests otherwise.

Pet care experience

I have over a decade of experience walking and caring for dogs, including caring for dogs with specific medical, dietary or other needs. I also have extensive experience caring for cats, birds, rodents, and equines. I pride myself in offering premium service for overnight stays, including cleaning and maintanence services. I can promise that I will be on time and ready to take care of your dog, whether its at your home or mine. I’m available full-time to give your pet the time and attention it needs, and will love and care for your pet (almost) as much as you do. I can even take pictures or videos of your pet through the stay to give you the peace of mind you deserve :) Your pet’s time with me will be comfurtable and pawsome guaranteed.

Erik is an amazing human and so great without two dogs. Cannot recommend him enough for house and petting sitting! We will definitely be using him again in the future. Huge thanks!

We are so glad to have found Erik in Palm Desert! He is reliable, kept our home neat and clean and our dog, Lucy was healthy and happy when we returned from our 12 day trip. He even did some small household tasks for us while we were gone. I would highly recommend Erik!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
