Retiree in Great Neighborhood!

Pet care experience

I'm a recent very active retiree in the Hyde Park neigborhood that loves to walk my 2 yr. old border collie, Martha. My wife and I have had two previous dogs (a labrador and an aussie) as well as 4 cats. Neighbors, family and friends have always depended on us to take care of their pets and we will take excellent care of your dog or cat!

The experience with Ernie and Ruth Ann (and Martha) far exceeded our expectations. Ernie and Ruth Ann are well-seasoned pet sitters whose goal was to provide our dog with a safe, comfortable, and enjoyable environment. Our dog was eager to go inside their home on multiple visits. They provided feedback each day on behavior and activities along with pictures and videos. They took great care in introducing and properly socializing the two dogs. We would gladly use Ernie and Ruth Ann again and highly recommend them!

Such a positive experience! I received regular photos and updates about my pup while Ernie was caring for her. She was treated like one of the family. I would definitely recommend Ernie, and will happily leave my puppy with him again in the future.

Ernie has done a great job walking our dog and also watching our 2 cats when we are away. Cheerful, on time, and had a great rapport with my border collie. :)
