Hello!
My name is Erik and I work as a pet care professional. I have several years experience working as both a professional dog walker/sitter along with an operations manager for a dog walking business in Boston. During my time in Boston, I learned so much about what it means to be a reliable pet-care professional for my clients. I got to know nearly 100 different dogs during this time, many of which were regulars who I would take care of multiple times a week. I have experience with all sizes of dogs, all breeds, ages, and dogs with special needs. My experience and knowledge also extends to cats and some small animals! I truly enjoy getting to know your dog or cat and their individual personalities. I look forward to hearing from you and meeting your fur friend!

What Erik would like to know about your dog

Open to all breeds.
Any noted behavioral issues: Does your dog get along with other dogs and people? If not, are there any triggers I should be aware of.

Additional Skills
Oral Medication Administration
Special Needs Dog Experience
Senior Dog Experience
Can provide daily exercise
When Erik watches your pet

Preference is always to take dogs out to the nearest parks or green space. Playtime for higher energy dogs and plenty of time for smells and ample exercise.

For those interested in the concept of the vegan economy, I wanted to post my services here. I recently moved to Portland and currently reside in the edge of Richmond neighborhood near SE Powell. For a number of years I have worked as a pet care professional and I’m looking to build a client base for my dogwalking/ pet sitting services. I am a vegan of 9 years and would love to take care of your fur friend! Here is a link to my Rover account along with a discount code.

It was a pleasure to meet Erik and feel confident he could and would treat my dog with as much love as I do!

Erik stayed with our two cats for a week. It’s always nerve wrecking to leave the care of your pets (and your apartment) to someone you just met, but He made us feel very comfortable and listened intently as we provided the instructions for feeding the kitties and locking the apartment (we have a tricky door). He fed them and cleaned the litter boxes and kept us updated on their shenanigans. I could tell they had a lot of fun while we were away by the empty bag of treats and the scattered toys we found! They were so happy when we returned from our trip – it was obvious they received a lot of love and the best care while we were gone. I highly reccomend Erik to take care of your pets!
