Pet care experience

Hello my name is Ernest. I can help with Dog Walking, Basic training, Daily Visits (30 mins-1hr) Dog Park Trips, I can be your pet taxi taking to vets/groomers ext., Boarding ( I like to call it doggy vacation). Now unfortunately I do not have professional training or any certificates and I haven't attended any schools for dog walking or training…The experience I have is growing up watching my father train his dogs (doberman pinchers) and passing his knowledge down to me. I would like to say I have 30 years of experience training my own dogs. Now I'm passing what I know down to my 7 year old son he’s my little helper. I would like to say my goal is to make your days easier. Giving you peace of mind knowing your pet/s are getting the exercise, fresh food/water, and great companionship they need. You will receive pictures of your dogs stay/play. That way when you get home from work or vocation you'll have a happier pet/s. I have a nice size back yard with a 6 and half foot wood fence. I live close to gateway park that has two dog parks for big and small dogs. I will ask for your permission before taking them to the park or away from my home (just to go for a car ride). I work from home and taking online classes so I’m always home. I call myself a homebody. I will treat you pet the way I would want my pet to be treated. I will treat your pet as if he/she were mine. I have several clients that call me their pets uncle/best friend and I absolutely love that.

Ernest was great with Myla! This was my first time ever leaving her with someone I didn’t know, so I was definitely nervous. He took the time to introduce her to the other dog one-on-one so I could see everyone was comfortable before I left, which I really appreciated. His son spent time with her as well, and she got so comfortable that she ended up sitting on his lap. Ernest sent photos throughout the stay, communicated well, and was very flexible with drop-off and pick-up times. He called before the booking to ask questions and make sure everyone was on the same page. I’d absolutely recommend Ernest and would trust him with Myla again in the future.

Ernest accepted a last-minute booking for Mylo and did an outstanding job. From the moment we met him, it was clear how attentive and observant he is. He quickly picked up on Mylo’s personality and routine, noting that he’s less interested in constant play and prefers to relax, nap, and simply hang out during the day—which is absolutely accurate. We were especially impressed by the little details. Mylo finished all of his food while in Ernest’s care, and Ernest kept us updated throughout the stay. What stood out most was how gently he handled Mylo when he was hesitant about being separated from us. Instead of pulling or dragging him along, Ernest calmly picked him up and made the transition as stress-free as possible. Moments like that show someone who genuinely enjoys and cares about animals. We felt completely comfortable leaving Mylo with Ernest and would absolutely book with him again. Highly recommend him to anyone looking for a reliable, attentive, and caring dog sitter.

Ernest was one of, if not the best, experiences I’ve ever had with boarding. Friendly, professional and you can tell that he’s the kind of person that’s going to treat your pup as if it were his own. I’d recommend Ernest again and again. I hope he’s available anytime I need boarding! He will always be my first choice.
