About Ernest F.

Safety, trust & environment

Safety, trust, and a nurturing environment are at the core of my pet care services, whether it's in my home or my client's home. In my home, I've created a secure and pet-friendly space while ensuring hazards are eliminated, and I closely monitor their well-being. When caring for pets in my client's home, I take the time to understand their surroundings and follow specific instructions to maintain a sense of familiarity and security for the pets. My gentle approach fosters trust with each pet, and I strive to provide them with a comfortable, engaging, and loving experience, ensuring they receive the best care possible throughout their time with me.

Information Ernest F. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog has any health concerns or specific temperaments that I should be aware of. Understanding their unique needs helps me ensure their comfort and safety, which are my top priorities. I prefer to care for small to medium-sized dogs, so any details about their routine and behavior will help me provide the best possible care for your furry friend.

A typical day

I love to engage your dogs with fun games and enjoyable walks, ensuring they are both mentally and physically stimulated. Their comfort and safety are my top priorities, so I create an environment where they can feel at ease and secure. Despite my laid-back nature, I am physically active and can easily match the energy level of any dog, whether they need a relaxing stroll or a more vigorous play session. With me, your pets will enjoy a balanced mix of fun and exercise, making their day enjoyable and fulfilling.

Laid-Back & Reliable Dog/Cat Owner

Pet care experience

What sets me apart from other sitters is my calm and relaxed demeanor, which allows me to create a stress-free environment for all the pets I care for. I have taken care of dogs of various sizes since I was 15, and my experience extends beyond my own pets. Neighbors, friends, and family have relied on me to walk, feed, and bathe their pets, trusting me with the well-being of their furry companions. My laid-back approach helps them feel at ease and comfortable during their time with me. I understand that some animals may feel anxious or require extra patience, and I take the time to get to know each pet individually, ensuring I can meet their specific needs and provide personalized care. Pet owners can rest assured that their beloved companions will receive not only experienced care but also gentle and compassionate attention, making their experience with me truly exceptional.

Ernest's interaction with my hyperactive Chihuahua named Pixie was nothing short of impressive. Pixie, known for her tearing around the house, met Ernest with typical hyper energy. Ernest, who mentioned he cycles 12 miles daily, suggested running with Pixie instead of walking, to which she eagerly agreed. When they returned, Pixie was happily tired, and Ernest carried her back home. It was a relief to see Pixie so content and relaxed, allowing me to enjoy a peaceful night's sleep without her usual antics. Ernest's energy, patience, and ability to handle Pixie's high energy level make him an exceptional choice for any pet parent seeking reliable and caring pet care.

When I introduced my hyper Labrador, Ebony, to Ernest, they were a bit timid at first. However, within about 20 minutes, their interaction completely changed. When I returned home, I found Ebony comfortably nestled in Ernest's arms, looking completely at ease—almost like a little baby! Ernest's calming presence and quick rapport with Ebony reassured me that he's not just great with pets but genuinely cares for their well-being. I highly recommend Ernest for anyone looking for a caring and capable pet sitter

I have seen firsthand how David's calm demeanor positively influences the energy around him. My energetic bully pitbull, who can be wary of new people, melted into David's arms as if he were family. David has a remarkable ability to connect with animals, including dogs, in a way that seems almost instinctual. His reliability, loyalty, and genuine love for animals shine through in every interaction. David is not only respectful, honest, and flexible, but he also communicates with pets effortlessly, creating a safe and loving environment for them.
