Availability
I work full-time locally, so I’m generally available for walks and drop-in visits before or after work, with greater flexibility on weekends. I currently offer house sitting on weekends, when I have more flexibility to spend time with your pet and keep their routine as consistent as possible.

Safety, trust & environment
I care for pets in their own home, where they can remain comfortable in a familiar environment. I follow each owner’s instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications, walking routines, crate use, and household rules. I’m careful with doors, gates, leashes, and harnesses, and I always prioritize your pet’s safety. I’ll also treat your home respectfully and provide regular photos and updates so you know everything is going well.

Information Erik P. would like to know about your pet
Before caring for your pet, I’d like to know about their normal routine, temperament, energy level, and behavior around people and other animals. Please let me know about any medical needs, medications, allergies, anxieties, reactivity, escape habits, or other important concerns. I’d also like to know their feeding and walking schedule, favorite activities, household rules, and how long they’re comfortable being left alone. The more information I have, the better I can provide safe and consistent care.
A typical day
A typical visit or stay will be tailored to your pet’s normal routine, personality, and energy level. For dogs, that may include walks, playtime, meals, potty breaks, and plenty of attention and affection. For cats, I’m happy to provide feeding, litter-box care, playtime, and companionship while also respecting their space if they’re shy or independent. My goal is to keep every pet comfortable, entertained, and relaxed while their owner is away.

Reliable care for your fur babies
Pet care experience
I’ve cared for cats and dogs for most of my life, including my own cat and miniature Cockapoo, and I’ve also helped care for Louie, the Golden Retriever pictured in my profile. I previously provided services through Rover a couple years ago, and I’m excited to begin offering care again. I’m comfortable caring for pets of different ages, sizes, and personalities. My goal is to keep their routine as familiar as possible, follow your instructions closely, and make sure they feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for while you’re away. I’m reliable, communicative, and happy to provide regular photos and updates. I currently work full-time locally, so my weekday availability is generally before and after work, with more flexibility on weekends. For house sitting, I’ll always confirm your pet’s routine and how long they can comfortably be alone before accepting a booking.

Reviews
We had our parents pick our Fig up and she didn’t want to leave! I see that as a good sign that she had a nice stay :)
Thank you Erik for taking great care of my baby boy Rocky. He looked comfy and happy in the pictures you shared from his report card. I appreciate you reaching out to me before his first day and how you updated me with how he was getting adjusted to a new environment! I'm sure he loved the long walk.
Did great with a couple of high strung fussy dogs.
Erik was very communicative about my fur babies stay! loved all the pictures he sent and he was very open about his availability.
