Having to manually set up ethernet connection on every boot

I'm running Arch on a desktop PC with a Realtek GbE LAN controller. On every boot, I start with no Internet connection; in order to get a working connection, I have to run

# ip link set enp7s0 up
# dhcpcd

This is very annoying, especially since I have to sudo these commands if logging in as a normal user. Why might this be happening, and is there a way around it?

Just enable the dhcpcd.service? It'll bring up the NIC itself.
