Our San Diego Dog Walkers

Meet Eric!

Born and raised in Chicago, Eric has called San Diego home since 2017. While in school for website design and development, he earned extra money by dog walking and pet-sitting for a local company. Over time, Eric fell in love with the pets he cared for, and that bond was what he really took notice of. In addition, he was grateful to be providing a service that the pets and their owners needed and benefited from.

After much thought, he decided to continue creating those relationships with the pets and started his own company. Wag n Walk Dog Walks, LLC was established in 2023. “I want to have the best pet care company out there! I want the best team members, the best pet/client relationships, the best safety record, and the best value!”

Hometown:

Pets:
He and his wife are the proud pet parents of an adorable chihuahua mix named Bella! We adopted her from the San Diego Humane Society in June 2023. She’s such a joy to have with us!

Interesting Fact:
Eric has been playing electric guitar for the past 33 years and is passionate about music.

What’s your top destination on your must-visit list?
Iceland! From the pictures of it, it looks stunning and breathtaking!

What’s the best compliment you’ve ever received?
Eric was told that he is the strongest person they know. That humbled him and made him look at himself from the outside in. That compliment has stayed with him, and he’ll never forget the day he heard it.

What’s one hobby you’d love to get into?
Golf. He purchased a set of clubs and has taken some private lessons. “Talk about a sport that looks easy but is incredibly difficult!” Also, being in San Diego, he can learn and golf year-round.

What’s one of your most cherished memories?
Eric was at game six in 1997 when the Chicago Bulls played the Utah Jazz for the NBA Title. That just so happened to wind up being the game that clinched the Bulls 6th Championship! To have been able to witness in person Michael Jordan win one of his rings is one of the best memories of his life!

What’s one thing you pride yourself on?
Being punctual. Eric is never late for anything. He thinks punctuality is important, and it also shows you respect other people’s time.
