Highlights
Pet care experience
Your buddies best friend
My parents moved to San Antonio in 2009, And to help my little brother and I with the drastic change, they introduced us to our lifelong companion-Scooby the Dachshund! Aka, the most Legendary Wiener Dog to ever exist! He was my world, and I was his person. I learned a lot from him, Even after his passing in 2018. I’ve been around dogs my entire life.. (Long enough to remember my Tio’s Frenchie being HUUUGE!!) ..and my love for dogs has grown tremendously since! — In 2019, I temporarily left San Antonio. I began my college studies at Texas A&M Corpus Christi and regularly volunteered at the local animal shelter, providing; - Grooming - Training - Overnight Boarding - Medication/Prescription Care - And hundreds (probably thousands) of walks! Since then, I have also; - Helped birth and raise beautiful Baby Luna (A year and a half old, 85lb, German Shepard sweetheart!) - Assisted my Mother in caring for and finding forever homes for multiple crazy Yorkie fluff balls! - And I adopted my two sons (twin black cats-Panchito and Taquito) who regularly cohabitate, interact with and love Baby Luna and the fluff balls!! — I understand that; Every owner is different, Every pet is different, Every situation is different, And so, Personalized care is always my main focus! :) (P.s I genuinely love the crazy, energetic ones! They are amazing jogging/running buddies and are usually just misunderstood!!!)

Safety, trust & environment
Safety is the main concern for many pet lovers, And rightfully so! I am growing my collection of various-sized, reflective harnesses in an effort to provide safe, comfortable and convenient running sessions! This allows me to combine my love for jogging/running with your dogs love for exploration and adventure, all while providing you with peace of mind! And if all your pup needs is a friendly face to take them on slow strolls down the neighborhood, I have been walking professionally for 24 years😎!
Ratings and reviews
Ernesto is an awesome pet sitter!! He considered it a challenge to get my cat to like him. He worked hard to make my cat happy! Ernesto is thoughtful and considerate. He is also very professional and trustworthy. Everything was clean when I got home. All went well! I can’t wait for him to pet sit again soon!!
Ernesto is a wonderful Catsitter!! He was so patient and caring with my 15 year old cat Caley. Caley is very skittish but he patiently gained her trust and he took excellent care of her. He ensured she got her pill in her food twice a day and that she had eaten it. He played cat videos for her (she loves cat videos!) and engaged her with cat toys. My booked sitter backed out 1 week prior to my trip and Ernesto quickly agreed to care for her for 10 days!! My sister and I both had him watch our cats and are so grateful for the special care he provides. I plan to use Ernesto whenever we go out of town.
Ernesto is a very personable young man. My dog was immediately drawn to his positive attitude and adventurous spirit. He seems to come on time and give Oliver some jogging, even though some walkers do not. I appreciate that.
Ernesto was excellent with my puppy.He made sure she always had water.I can tell he has a really good relationship with animals.All the attention possible was given to my puppy.I will continue to book with him and you should to :)
Ernesto has been taking care of my pets for at least 6 years! He’s the sweetest & I love the way he treats/loves my fur babies. Thank you for always having time for Romeo & Luna in your schedule!
