Safety, trust & environment
I prioritize safety and home security by following your specific house rules and locking up carefully after every visit. Whether I’m house sitting or dropping in, I ensure your pet stays active with supervised walks in their familiar neighborhood and stays on their established schedule for feeding and medication. I maintain a clean environment and provide frequent, high-quality photo updates so you can rest easy knowing your pet and home are in expert hands.
Information Erik R. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if your dog has any special needs or behavioral traits that I should be aware of. I have experience with various breeds, but I particularly enjoy working with dogs that are active and enjoy mental stimulation. If your dog has specific requirements, I’m happy to adapt and ensure they are comfortable and well-cared for!
A typical day
I love keeping dogs engaged both physically and mentally. We'll go on walks, explore new smells, play games like fetch or tug-of-war, and even enjoy some puzzle toys for enrichment. I always make sure they get plenty of attention, belly rubs, and cuddle time. Whether it’s playing outside or relaxing indoors, I’ll make sure your pup has a fun and comfortable experience!

Reviews
Erik was an excellent dog sitter for several years, taking great care of my mixed-breed rescue dog, Nutmeg. I would entrust my dogs in Erik's care without hesitation, as he loves animals. He was also very flexible and available on short notice, which was super helpful in knowing I always had a trusted dog sitter available. He will take excellent care of your dogs as well. I highly recommend him!
