vet’er-an n. 1. A person who has served in the armed forces.  2.  An experienced person. 

Hello, my name is Ryan Ernst and I am the Founder and primary care provider of Veteran Pet Sitting.  I am also a veteran of the United States Army who served our country in combat during Operation Enduring Freedom and Operation Iraqi Freedom. 

Check out the photos below of a few friends I made overseas! 

In the four years since my honorable discharge from the military I was a clothing distribution director.  It was a job that I was happy to leave so I could start Veteran Pet Sitting.  Besides the military, I have an academic background; my B.A. is from the University of Florida and my M.A. is from Syracuse University.

Also, I’m a pet parent who grew up with pets. I am a certified member of The National Association of Professional Pet Sitters (NAPPS).  I have the professional experience necessary to provide the best care for your pets. The bottom line is: I love animals… and you will be putting your pets, homes, and trust in responsible and capable hands.

I look forward to meeting you!
