“Eric has proven to be a reliable and caring pet sitter for our fur babies. He has helped out with short notice and with longer overnight stays. His prices are affordable, and he does a great job communicating with us and sending pictures while we are gone. I highly recommend Eric if you are looking for a pet sitter.”
