Care & Compassion = my priority!
Pet care experience
I have extensive experience with animal care: whether you have one pet or five, I can assure your companions will receive my full attention & effort. I have experience with all breeds of dogs and have a specific interest in behavior & training. I've successfully cared for dogs where before meeting was told "oh, my pet doesn't like men" and had absolutely no problem. I have plenty of experience with cats as well. I can administer insulin injections & other medical needs - even with challenging cases. I have great patience which often is a difference maker. I also have experience with birds, small animals, fish, reptiles and even some farm animals. Be the labor great or small, do it well or not at all - this is a quote that I live by.
Reviews
Always treats my lab as his own great exercise & happy dog!
Ethan was fantastic!!! If I could give six stars I would!! I was most impressed with his clear communication, and updates every time our boys were fed. I will be reaching out to him again if we ever need house sitting. However, the best part for me, is that I felt as if myself and dogs have known Ethan much longer than just through Rover - I highly recommend Ethan!!
Highly recommended
Thank you so much for taking such good care of the girls!

Safety, trust & environment
Even if I had a fenced in backyard I would always walk my dog. If I had a cat I would let it roam wherever I felt comfortable doing so.
Information Ethan H. would like to know about your pet
It's important to know things that might be "normal" for your companion but that someone new would perceive as abnormal. Another thing is generally I avoid interactions (both with other dogs & people) when performing pet care services for someone else - I think that goes without saying but it also means being very good with situational awareness and taking things somewhat seriously while outside.
A typical day
I enjoy taking dogs for a good walk - I have a good ability to find interesting walking routes which avoid the typically more populated & uninteresting areas....I have a good knack for finding trails. If I recognize your pup(s) have been trained I will always incorporate that in to the walk. Positive reinforcement is the only method I employ.

Availability
I have a job which occupies a majority of my time so right now I am pretty much limited to weekends but inquire to see.
