Pet care experience

hand in paw we will be best friends

I’ve spent over six years working in doggy daycares, so I know how to keep dogs happy, safe, and cared for. I offer walks, house sitting, and plenty of one-on-one attention to make sure your pup gets what they need. I’m also studying to become a dog trainer, so I use positive reinforcement to make every interaction a good one. Whether your dog needs exercise, company, or just a little extra care, I’ve got you covered!

Safety, trust & environment

I have spent more than 5 years working at different doggy daycares, where I've been able to form such special bonds with my furry friends. It's been eye opening for me, as it has solidified my passion for working with dogs. they hold a very special place in my heart, and I would go above and beyond to ensure their happiness and well-being.

We always know our dog is in good hands with Erik and are comfortable leaving her with him for extended periods of time. He is also respectful of our house while he stays here.

Erik is excellant with Laila and there are not many people that Laila would allow to give her a belloy rub. Not ony is it apparent that Erik is great and caring with dogs and all animals alike, Erik also has full command of Laila during her walk, which is important when you have a 70 pound Bulldog.

Boarding • Feb 11, 2025

Our dog doesn’t take to everyone - and she absolutely loves Erik! Within five minutes, she was trying to sit on his lap. We drove 45 minutes to leave her with him for her first overnight, even though there are other overnight options much closer. He just gets her. Highly recommend!

Separation anxiety is a common concern among dogs when their owners are away for extended periods of time. Therefore, if you plan on being away for a long period, it is important to ensure that your dogs are comfortable with your absence. Prior to the start of the stay.
