Apartment Dwelling Animal Lover
Pet care experience
I recently moved to the city and under my lease can only own cats. As much as I love my furry feline, I was raised with dogs, cats, birds, Guinea pigs, and miss especially being able to play with some pups. As for special skills: for two years I regularly pet-sat for a cat with diabetes and gave her insulin shots twice a day. I also have practice giving eye and ear medication and pills.
Reviews
If I could give 10 stars to Erik, I would. If you want to leave your pet in the hands of a professional, kind, and passionate animal lover while you are away, hire Erik! He was so communicative and followed our instructions to a tee. Our cats got so much love and play with him we were gone. Erik who’ll be our #1 choice next time we need pet care!
Erik was fantastic and my two dogs seemed happy and at ease with him. He was great about checking in and letting me know how they were doing. The pics he sent showed how much they were enjoying their time with him! When I came back everything was in order and the dogs were clearly cared for well.
Erik is trustworthy, reliable, and an animal lover. Highly recommend.
Erik was great! This was my first time finding a pet sitter online, and he made me and my kitty feel super comfortable 😊 he was extremely easy to communicate with, and so kind
About Erik R.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
Because of my lease agreement I can't host animals in my home, but I'd be happy to walk, run, play fetch, chill in your home or out in the wild with your pets.
Information Erik R. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know your dog's medical and social needs. For example, if I should watch out walking your large dog around small dogs, if they only like to be pet in a specific way, if they get anxious about traffic noises, etc.
A typical day
Depending on your dog's needs I have many options for walking locations. There is a dog park near my home where we can go if your dog plays well with others, or we can jog along the river where we won't meet too many other dogs if that's a concern.
