Petbuddy Houston

I can’t say enough great things about Ernesto! We have been with Pet Buddy Houston for a little over a year now, and I trust no one more with my pups than I do him. He is very reliable, can 9 times out of 10 help you out in a bind or last minute situation, and is very responsive to all emails/​texts/​calls. We have let him stay in our house for days, dog walk, and even make a quick trip to pick our dogs up from day care and get them back to the house.
Pricing is extremely reasonable, and he offers discounts for things that most people would not even think to do. He sends you an invoice via email and you can pay it via Paypal, which is extremely convenient.
Lastly, my pup Bentley ADORES him. All I have to say is, «Bentley, ‘Nesto is coming!» and he freaks out. To me, that proves how great he is with the dog. He has experience as a vet tech, so I trust him and occasionally ask his opinion when my dog has something going on. I know that in the event something happened to one of my pups while we were away, they would be in great medical hands as well.
His business is now thriving even in the year or so I have worked with him, and there is no doubt as to why. He comes very highly recommended by myself and my husband, and we could not be happier with Ernesto’s phenomenal service.

Ernesto is a phenomenal dog walker. He is extremely reliable and easy to communicate with. I have a busy schedule and he is always flexible and available for last minute changes. He is also understanding at times when I have forgotten to cancel him and he has come, and did not charge for the visit.
Above all, he loves animals. He is so caring with my dog that the concierge in my building stopped me to ask who my dog walker was so she could refer other tenants to him. She had seen him with my dog and noted how caring and sweet he was with her.
His prices are also the most reasonable I found when I moved her, so I have been with Ernesto since August 2013. I could not be happier with Petbuddy and highly recommend them to anyone who needs a dog walker or pet sitting!

Petbuddy Houston has been absolutely amazing! My dog loves his daily walks and is so well taken care of. Petbuddy Houston has been such a blessing, and they have done a really great job! I highly recommend them if you need a daily or weekly dogwalker. They are flexible and the prices are the best I have seen!

I have been using Petbuddy for over a year. They have been very professional, responding quickly and sending frequent photos while we are away. Their prices are reasonable for visits right at our home and our dog always seems calm and happy when we return.

It is quite difficult to entrust the well being of your pets to a stranger, never knowing if the person can provide the same level of care and affection as you would. My misgivings were quickly put to rest after meeting Ernesto from PetBuddy Houston. For the 2 weeks that we were away, Ernesto sent us daily picture updates of our tabbies. The greatest validation of course was when we walked in our front door and were met with incredibly relaxed and healthy cats. We knew they had been fed well because there wasn’t the usual clamoring/​begging for food. They looked so comfortable that I’m pretty positive they didn’t miss us even in the slightest. Thanks Ernesto for making that happen. Ayva and Malakai are extremely grateful (even for cats) for your services. I would highly recommend to anyone looking for affordable and more importantly dependable pet care.

The most stressful part of moving from LA to Houston was finding someone I could trust with my two dogs. After interviewing many pet sitters, posting ads, asking for recommendations from vets, and friends, we decided to hire PetBuddy Houston. It was one of the best decisions we’ve made for our animals in a long time. We love Ernesto! And so do our pups. When he comes over they jump all over him, and our snobby Pomeranian Mix even claws at Ernesto to be picked up! Having our pup even like someone is a great feat, so to have him begging to be picked up let us know what we found the perfect pet sitter! Thank you, PetBuddy Houston for helping me to travel without worry. I never though I’d see the day. You all are the best. We are so happy to have found you!

I hate to give these folks a stellar review, because I’d like to keep them for myself! Professional, caring, and helpful about making suggestions about our puppy. Absolutely topnotch.

Pet Buddies is the best. I’ve been using them for two years and they are the most responsible and reliable service around. I have a pet that requires injections daily and their training as vet techs is invaluable. They take extra time and attention with each visit and I am completely comfortable leaving my pet in their care when I have to travel. Nothing but positive recommendations for Pet Buddies Houston!
