Pet care experience
Friendly Pet Lover
Hi! I’m a longtime pet lover and a dedicated cat owner with over 20 years of experience caring for both cats and dogs. I really believe pets are what make a house feel like home, and I genuinely enjoy getting to know each animal’s personality and routine. I’ve cared for pets for friends, family, and clients, and I’m comfortable with all kinds of temperaments from playful and energetic to shy or senior pets who need a little extra patience. I’m happy to follow your pet’s routine closely, so they feel safe and comfortable while you’re away. I offer drop-in visits for cats and dogs, as well as dog walking. Visits can include feeding (including automatic feeders), fresh water, litter box cleaning, playtime, cuddles (if they’re into it!), medication, and light grooming. If you need something specific, just ask. I’m flexible and happy to help. I can also bring in mail or water plants while you’re gone. My goal is to make things easy for you and stress-free for your pet. I’d love the chance to care for them!

Ratings and reviews
Ethan is a very capable, responsible, warm and caring person. Great with both cats and dogs. He is a pet owner himself and to me, is very telling when a person has had the same happy pet since they were a puppy or a kitten, all the way thru their senior years. I have little dogs that can be skittish, but they like him and warmed up to him quickly. They trust him and so do I.
Ethan is absolutely amazing and I cannot recommend him enough! I've used his services both ways, dropping my dog and cat off with him and having him come over to the house, and either way my pets are always in the best hands. He genuinely loves animals and it shows in everything he does. He kept me updated with regular photos throughout each visit so I always knew my babies were happy and well taken care of. He's also super responsive and easy to communicate with, which honestly makes the whole experience so stress free. Whether he's at his place or mine, he makes sure my dog and cat are fed on schedule, played with, and getting plenty of love and attention. They are always happy and relaxed when I check in, and honestly a little spoiled by the time it's all said and done! His rates are also really reasonable, especially for the incredible level of care he provides. It truly feels like leaving your pets with a friend rather than a stranger. If you're looking for someone who will treat your pets like their own, Ethan is your guy. We will definitely keep booking with him for a long time!
I’ve known Ethan for ten years and I’ve always known him to be drawn to animals. He’s kind, caring, and very attentive, knowing every little detail of his beloved cat’s routine and all of his little idiosyncrasies. He loves to spend time with other people’s animals too! Sometimes I’ll catch him in the corner at a friend hang playing with a dog or sitting in a sun spot petting a cat. When I watch Ethan’s cat I can tell that he is very well loved. He’s a great animal caretaker and friend.
Ethan is a star! He's so kind and funny and prompt and caring and tidy and respectful of my space and truly has a soft spot for all animals. He's cared for my dog (who has extreme separation anxiety), and my cat (who pretty much hates everyone), several times and they both love him. He's also helped me out when I've been overwhelmed by pet sitting for friends. I feel extremely safe giving Ethan a key to my house, and (HUGE bonus), he's even helped me keep all my plants alive over the past two years.
Whenever I travel, I usually need to do so for a few days, so it’s especially important for somebody to be great with my cat when I leave. Ethan is exceptional. He plays with my cat and gives him a lot of attention, so that when I return, my cat is really happy and I have been able to be away stress-free and confident that everything is going OK. Ethan is always super clean and takes care of the extras that are important. Couldn’t recommend anybody more highly.
First of all, Ethan is just a wonderful human being. Besides that, he is a very conscientious pet owner (of a cat named Kitty!) And, he has taken care of our dog Hugo for many years when we go out of town. I have no reservations at all recommending him to other pet owners - you would be lucky to have Ethan taking care of your pet.
