Information Ethan L. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know any specific or medical needs your dog has. If you’re working on any training or tricks with them I would be happy to continue working on those things with them! Additionally, any routines, exercise needs, or personality would all be helpful for me to better care for them!

A typical day

I believe that a happy pet is an active pet! I make sure they’re engaged with a variety of fun activities tailored to their energy level and preferences. For high-energy dogs, I love to incorporate outdoor adventures like walks, runs, or trips to nearby parks where they can explore and enjoy the fresh air. We’ll play fetch, tug-of-war, or practice any tricks they enjoy to keep them mentally and physically stimulated. For pets that prefer a slower pace, I offer gentle playtime, puzzle toys to challenge their minds, or just belly rubs. I’m happy to continue any specific games or routines your pet already loves, keeping them entertained and comfortable.

Reliable and friendly pet-sitter!

Pet care experience

I'm Ethan, and I have years of hands-on experience with dogs, including my own well-trained German Shepherd (6 years) and Charcoal Labrador (4 years) who currently live with my parents since I moved out a few months ago. I went through professional training with my German Shepherd when she was a puppy, mastering basic commands, tricks, and good behavior practices. This not only enhanced my dog’s skills but also made me a more effective and patient dog trainer.

Ethan was great! Our dog was immediately comfortable with him (which doesn’t usually happen), and he was flexible and responsive to our communication. Made our day much easier!
