Animal care provider,

Pet care experience

I was a proud dog owner for over 20 years, and after my last dog passed away at the age of 15, I unexpectedly opened my home to a cat just one week later. I quickly fell in love with his unique personality. Before long, I had three kittens filling my home with even more love. Now that my youngest has moved out and taken the fur babies with him, I’m officially an empty nester—with two extra rooms ready to welcome your pets! If your fur baby needs a safe, comfortable, and loving place to stay, I’d be happy to care for them as if they were my own.

Ernest was absolutely wonderful with my two girls! This was my first time ever using Rover, and I was honestly very nervous about leaving my dogs with someone I didn’t know. I’ve only ever left them with my dad or brother, so trusting a complete stranger with them was a big step for me. Before my trip, we did a quick meet and greet to make sure the girls were comfortable with Ernest. My older girl immediately warmed up to him, but my little one was more hesitant and spent some time hiding behind me. She was still curious and tried getting closer to him a few times, so I asked Ernest if he’d be willing to do a trial day before my actual trip. He was completely understanding and agreed. I dropped them off with their food and some of their favorite toys, and thankfully, they seemed to have a great day with him! When it was finally time for my actual trip, I left them with Ernest and made sure he knew their feeding schedule, walking routine, and everything else they needed. I was going to be out of the country, so naturally I was a little anxious, but Ernest did such a great job keeping me updated. He regularly sent me pictures and videos and made sure I knew the girls were doing just fine. Seeing how comfortable, happy, and relaxed they looked with him made me feel so much better. Ernest definitely put my mind at ease, and I’m so grateful I chose him to take care of my girls. I would absolutely book with him again and truly hope he’s available the next time I need someone to watch them. Highly recommend Ernest! 🐾

Ernest was a good dog sitter. He sent me updates and photos while we were gone and answered any questions I had quickly. I would trust him to watch Nova again.

Ernest loves and has owned both cats and dogs, has also cared for (sitter). Ranging from different breeds and size dogs. Ernest also took in a baby stray cat and created a home for it. He understands the needs of the pets, patient, loving, and caring.
