Ruff life Paw buddy's welcome!

Pet care experience

Hello! My names Erik I'm 27 years old and I've loved dogs as far back as I can remember. I have 3 dogs myself, 2 pitbulls at 6 years old and 1 old English BullDog at 8,all were rescues from around the east coast. When I was younger I use to watch my aunts and neighbors dogs ( Lab and Doberman). I currently work at WHATARUFFLIFE doggie daycare as manager and part groomer for year and a half now with an average of 60 dogs ,and camp bowwow before that for 6 months. As Manager i do all the eval intros for new dogs if they are behaved enough. I also help train the staff to look out for signs from dogs ( hair standing, tail between legs, whites of eyes showing extra, body weight shifted back, ECT.) and how to handle them. From old pups needing meds to helping young pups with potty training, ill do it all! I've worked and helped with a couple trainers for 2 years as I eventually want to be certified. I'm aiming to open my own dog daycare in the future to help as many pet parents as I can for a safe place to play and stay. Dogs are my life!

He always loved animals as a kid and watched the neighbors cats when he was younger. Also grew up with dogs and is very loving and caring!

Erik watched my two senior dogs for two weeks while me and my husband were away in cozumel for vacation. He did an excellent job making sure they had their meds every night! They are stubborn! I couldn't of asked for anyone better.

Erik has been a full-time employee at What A Ruff Life for over a year. He started out as an attendant and was quickly promoted to Manager. Erik is highly reliable and goes the extra mile with the dogs, for our clients, for his co-workers and the owners. He is a true dog lover! Tony
