Man's Best Friend's Best Friend

Pet care experience

I grew up in Northeast Pennsylvania, walking and hiking everywhere with my dog Ness, from our neighborhood sidewalks to the trails at some of our favorite state parks. Since moving to Tallahassee for graduate school in August 2014, I've had the privelege of dogsitting for many of my friends and peers, doing everything from quick home visits to multi-night stays, complete with adventures to Cascades Park, Tom Brown Park, and Lafayette Heritage Trail. While I love to provide younger dogs with plenty of activity, I'm also comfortable caring for older dogs who need to take it a little easier. All breeds, sizes, ages, and temperaments are welcome. AVAILABILITY: I work 9-5 during the week, but my evenings and weekends are wide open for taking care of your pup!

Erik is amazing with dogs (and humans). He’s kind, funny, easy to talk to, and extraordinarily trustworthy. My dog, Murphy, LOVES his walks and playtime with Erik. He gets so excited when Erik arrives, he can barely contain himself. Erik very quickly learned Murphy’s unique personality and knows exactly how to attend to his needs in any given situation. Murph is essentric and high maintenance; I only trust a handful of people to rise to the demands of his care and happiness. Erik is one of them. He’s an amazing dog sitter, walker, and all around caregiver!

Information Erik P. would like to know about your pet

Does your dog have any physical restrictions or special dietary needs? No problem! Just let me know—I'm very detail-oriented and will happily accommodate you and your pet's needs.

A typical day

I live close to Tom Brown Park, Lafayette Heritage Trail, and the J.R. Alford Greenway—great places full of great smells for dogs. If that isn’t enough to tire out your dog, they’ll have the added bonus of playing with my dog Doug. He’s about 1.5 years old, 38 pounds, and a huge fan of tug-of-war, hugging, and sprinting across our yard and hallways.
