Tailored Dog Walks/Sitting by Erik

Pet care experience

My name is Erik, I'm 28, and live in Irvine with my beautiful fiance, Lillie, and our 4 legged son, Melvin. He's a German Shepherd mix rescue with nothing but love to share. We try our best to return the favor every day, like I'm sure you do. Activities done on walks/house-sitting will be tailored to each individual client and their dog's needs. I am meticulous, and very flexible. I sincerely want only the best for you and your dog. I currently work remotely as a software developer for a financial services company based in San Jose. That project is nearing completion and I want to dedicate myself and my time to showing ANY dog all the fun that they can handle (while at the same time making a few extra bucks (getting married in May!!!)). It's possible that my fiance, Lillie, will be joining us on our walks. She loves to see dog's smile as much as I do. Please consider my services for you and your pup, I just want a chance to show you how serious I am about taking care of our beloved furry friends. Note: I am not afraid of ANY dog. I'm 6'6'' and have been around big dogs all my life. I love the little ones too! Looking forward to sitting down with you and discussing how we can make your dog's life even better.

Erik S. is a true dog lover and animal advocate. I have known him for twenty years and have seen him interact with many dogs and many breeds. Erik goes to great lengths to understand and train dogs according to their temperaments and individual quirks. It has been a delight to watch Erik with his own dog, Melvin, who never takes his eyes away from Erik when he is working with him and giving commands. Erik is devoted to Melvin who has some expensive medical needs. Erik put his dog's welfare above all else. I unequivocally recommend Erik for any position working with dogs.

Information Erik S. would like to know about your pet

I do NOT have any breed preferences whatsoever. All dogs are welcome. If your dog happens to be particularly fussy, it'll come up in our consultation and I'll tailor the walk/sitting to him/her.

A typical day

Where we will go: This again will be determined by you when we discuss your dog's needs. We can go 0.1 mi or 10 mi, all depends on your preference, and more importantly, your dog's current condition. Activities: 1) Walks ALL around Irvine 2) Hikes 3) Leash-running (in a park) 4) The occasional treat (but not too many) 5) PLENTY of telling them good boy or good girl :) 6) Anything you'd like!
