We are so lucky to have found Eric! Eric is hands-down the best pet care professional weve ever hired. From day one, hes treated our pup like family showing up with energy, enthusiasm, and a genuine love for animals that you can feel.Every walk and hike is an adventure! Our dog is literally obsessed with Eric he waits by the door every day, tail wagging, ready to go explore. Its the highlight of his day, and we love seeing him so happy and fulfilled. Eric takes them on beautiful, varied hikes and always keeps their safety and joy at the forefront.Eric is professional, reliable, communicative, and truly passionate about what he does. The photos and updates we receive are the best part of our day its clear our dog adores him, and so do we!If youre searching for someone who will care for your dog like one of their own, look no further than Eric. I cant recommend him enough!

Eric is the most trustworthy, thoughtful, reliable, and flexible dog walker you could ask for! My pup Leo grew to LOVE Eric and his pack of dogs. Many times I wasn't home when he had to do pick up or drop off, and I 100% trusted Eric with a key to my home. Finding a dog walker in a city as large as LA can be overwhelming. Look no further -- Eric is the best and I keep telling all my dog owning friends about his service! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Eric is the absolute best. Ive lived in 9 different cities with my 12 year old dog and have hired multiple dog walkers in each of those. Eric is without question the best one weve found. Hes been taking my dog out on walks multiple days each week for almost a year, and Im so glad I found him and decided to give him a call. My dog must have a great time on his walks because he is always ecstatic when Eric shows up. He never reacted to the doorbell until Eric started coming to get him, and now he bolts to the door all wiggly and happy the second he hears it. Hes always been excited to go on walks but hes never reacted to a walker the way he reacts to Eric. Eric is also super responsive and reliable and always goes above and beyond. He was even willing to take my cat on a several-hour-long walk (in our cat carrier backpack - the little white spaceship looking thing in one of the pictures) once when my apartment management was testing our super loud fire alarms all day. You can just tell hes a total animal person. I completely trust him with my pets and Ive never had any concerns. Two of my neighbors have even noticed and told me he does a great job and my dog is so happy with him. That has definitely never happened with any other walker, but it didnt surprise me at all. Hes just the best. I cannot recommend him enough!

Thank you so much for your kind words! It has been such a pleasure walking Enzo over the past year. I'm so glad that he enjoys our walks together - it truly means the world to me.

Eric is seriously the best dog walker out there!!! My dog knows that Tuesdays and Thursdays are her pack walk days. She starts to get excited in the afternoon and waits by the door because she knows her pack is coming for her. Its seriously the highlight of her week. Eric is patient, timely, and communicative. Highly recommend him if youre looking for a dog walker in the LA area!

ERIC is the epitome of EXCELLENCE! ERIC has positively changed our lives: I never thought of my dog going on hikes with a pack. He loves it and he loves ERIC, and now has a much fuller, healthier and happier life. ERIC is so conscientious, knowledgeable and intuitively great with dogs. We completely TRUST him and are very grateful we found him. I give ERIC 5 STARS and BEYOND and HIGHLY RECOMMEND him.
