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.

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

Our cats love Erik, and they are hard to impress! We always feel at ease knowing he is taking good care of them.

Erik was a great sitter for our cats! When he came to meet them before our trip, he was very attentive. He was communicative during his visits and sent great pictures. Will definitely use him again!

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.
