Fenced yard and affordable stay
Pet care experience
I've always been a dog person, but I started my own dog walking business at a young age and continued to do that until the end of high school. During that time I worked for a doggy daycare and boarding facility as well for 2 Summers during high school. I graduated from Iowa State (Go Cyclones!) and I currently work in cybersecurity. I love it because it allows me to work from home a lot during the week. I change my availability for days that I am home during the week working remotely to ensure I can give the best care.
Reviews
Ethan took fantastic care of our dog. He was extremely great to work with and really took the time to answer our questions and helped make our vacation a whole lot more fun with lots of updates, photos and videos of our dog enjoying his stay daily. His girlfriend as well as his dog Yori made our dog feel at home, by giving him lots of attention and play time, and we are convinced our dog barely missed us as he was having so much fun. We will definitely be going back to Ethan when we need to go away again. We highly recommend him! Thank you for everything Ethan!
My dog Kyra had a great time with Ethan & Megan. We will be contacting them for all future boarding.
Excellent communication and extremely friendly. Very happy to have reliable help while out of town! I recommend letting him take care of your pets as i know i will in the future.
Ethan was exactly what our pups needed! We left our two dogs with Ethan for a long weekend & they had the best time. He gave plenty of updates, send pictures and videos, and made sure if there were special instructions on the dogs needs that he got them done! Our dogs loved running around in their huge back yard with Ethan’s sweet pup, Yori. Our pups came home happy & exhausted, we will definitely be taking them to Ethan again!

I have almost an acre fenced yard with plenty of room for your pet to sprawl out and relax. If an in home stay is requested, I will treat your home just like my own i.e. not wear my shoes inside your house and ensure everything is locked and safe before leaving.
Home
Information Ethan D. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if your dog has special medication needs so I can make sure I have the right means of giving them their medication (i.e. pill pockets). Also, please let me know if there are any dietary restrictions(can't have certain treets, etc). I can provide dog food as well for a small fee, but I prefer you bring your own food to make sure no upset stomachs happen. Also, I might at times watch more than 1 pet so I would like to know if your pet is friendly with other animals. Accommodations can always be made if your pet is not friendly with other animals, but knowing ahead of time helps out a ton in making those accommodations.
A typical day
On the weekdays, unless requested not to, I will walk your furry friend in the morning before work and after work (weekends I'll walk in the morning and evening as well). If your family member is a fetchaholic, I will always give them plenty of fetch time in my large yard.

Your furry friend will always be treated like my own. I have the ability when not working remotely to do let outs and walks every 2-4 hours. In the evenings, I am always home and able to give ample amounts of time!
