About: Hi, I’m Ethan, and I’m excited to join the Rover app! For the past six months, I have been traveling around the Kootenays through the TrustedHousesitters app, caring for pets in a variety of homes. I’ve received wonderful reviews, which I’d be happy to share upon request. Housesitting has been an amazing way to explore the region while providing loving, attentive care to pets in different towns along the way. I have extensive experience caring for both dogs and cats, ensuring they are well fed, exercised, and given plenty of companionship. I’ve worked with pets of all breeds and temperaments from energetic, playful dogs to senior ones that need a gentler approach, as well as cats ranging from social and affectionate to independent and reserved. What sets me apart as a sitter is my combination of reliability, hands-on experience, and a deep love for animals. I strive to make sure every pet feels safe, comfortable, and well cared for while their owners are away. I understand the importance of routine and consistency, so I always ensure pets stick to their usual feeding, walking, play, and care schedules. Additionally, my background in maintenance and electrical work allows me to handle minor household issues if needed, providing an extra layer of security and peace of mind. I’m clean, respectful, and adaptable to different home environments. Whether your dog loves long walks, your cat enjoys playtime, or they simply need companionship, I always tailor my care to meet their unique needs. I structure my day around the pet’s usual routine, ensuring they get regular feeding, exercise, and companionship. For dogs, this includes morning and evening walks, playtime, and bathroom breaks as needed. For cats, I keep their litter box clean, provide fresh food and water, and engage with them based on their personality. My flexible schedule allows me to give pets the attention and care they’re used to while their owners are away. When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritise their safety, comfort, and routine. I ensure they have a secure environment, fresh food and water, and plenty of attention. I follow any specific instructions provided, including feeding schedules, medication needs, and exercise routines. I respect the home by keeping it clean and tidy, ensuring both the pet and space are well cared for. My goal is to provide a stress free experience for pets while giving owners peace of mind that their home and animals are in safe, responsible hands.

About: I have been a dog and cat owner for 20+ years. I have an active lifestyle and can keep your dog entertained and healthy throughout walks, runs, cuddling, and brushing. I have most experience with larger dogs (golden retrievers and huskies for example), but also am comfortable with all sizes of dogs. I have trained my own dogs and can assist in training your dog/ following your training commands throughout my care. I understand the importance of building a relationship of trust with dogs and how to make sure they feel loved as well. I look forward to making some new furry friends! We have a sweet kitty of our own named Winter. She does not get along with other animals, so unfortunately we cannot board any pets at our place. I work part-time and am mostly available in the evenings + weekends. Please message me for more details. My schedule posted is up to date. I am currently not offering pet sitting in my own home. I care for pets by frequent bathroom breaks, brushing, playing and cuddling of course.

About: I would be a dog whisper, letting them know I am on their side and it will be safe with me. Playing with the pups and taking great walks with them. I will let them receive plenty of fresh air and plenty playing time when necessary. I would make sure the pups are well fed and dehydrated. I will understand the pups needs and make sure to help the pups in there needs as well. I have gained experience over the years while training my own family pups and taking care of my friends pups. The most recent care I have done was for a friend and I always took her pup for a walk around and the pup really liked to outside with me. I will keep the pet on a strict routine based off their owners instructions, if none instructions are given, the pet will be in my embrace at all times and well taken care of. I will assure that the pets have their personal space and privacy from my pets as long as they choose to play with each other.
