Pet care experience

Passionate Pet Owner

With 9 years of hands-on pet care experience and a dog and cat of my own, I understand what pets need to feel safe and comfortable away from home. I'm attentive to each animal's unique personality and routine, ensuring they get the same love and care I give my own. Your pet isn't just a booking they're family.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

When caring for pets in your home, my approach is always attentive, consistent, and loving. I understand that familiar surroundings make a big difference — especially for pets who are anxious or routine-driven. I follow each pet's established schedule closely, from feeding times to walks and playtime, so they feel calm and comfortable while you're away. As a remote freelancer with open availability, I'm never rushing in and out. I dedicate real, unhurried time to every pet in my care, treating your home and your animal with the same respect and attention I'd give my own.

Ernest is exactly the kind of person you want caring for your pet. He is responsible, patient, and genuinely loves animals. He’s taken care of my own dog, and I’ve always felt completely at ease knowing he was in great hands. My dog loves him. He’s reliable, communicative, and really pays attention to each pet’s needs. I’d trust him without hesitation and highly recommend him to anyone looking for a great sitter.

Ernest has taken care of both my dog and my cats, and I honestly can’t recommend him enough. He’s incredibly reliable, attentive, and genuinely cares about the animals he looks after. I always feel completely at ease knowing my pets are with him, they’re happy, well cared for, and comfortable. It’s clear he treats them like his own. He’s someone you can truly trust with your pets.

Schedule

As a freelance remote worker, pet care fits seamlessly into my everyday life. Because I work from home with a flexible schedule, I have open availability throughout the day meaning pets in my care are never left alone for long stretches. I'm always nearby to offer walks, playtime, feeding, and cuddles on a consistent schedule. My lifestyle is built around being present, which makes caring for your pet feel less like a side job and more like a natural part of my day. I am also lucky to be surrounded by an abundance of green space and dog parks, with the Kay Beltline Trail right at my doorstep making every walk an adventure your pup will love.
