I have a part-time job that varies from week to week, but it's usually three days a week for five hours a day. Other than that, I can stay home with the dog all day. I live with my parents too, and they will be happy to watch the dog while I'm out.

My house is well-suited for any dog. I have spare food bowls, toys, treats, and a crate if necessary. I do not have a fenced-in yard, but I always leave dogs on leash when I take them outside. Dogs are allowed on furniture in my house too - we welcome cuddlers!

Information Ethan M. would like to know about your pet

I have no preferences for breeds, but I would like to know how well your dog gets along with other dogs. The reason is because I have a dog of my own, and I would like to make sure my customers' dogs feel comfortable. I am able to keep the dogs in separate rooms if need be.

A typical day

I can take dogs on walks around my block. There is also a dog park near where I live; so if you would like your dog to get some social interaction, I can manage that for you as well. I also know a few nearby hiking trails if your dog likes the outdoors.

Pet care experience

My name is Ethan, and I am one of those people that loves dogs more than humans. I am comfortable with dogs of any breed and any age. I have cared for neighbors' dogs in the past, and they have commended me for how reliable I was and how their pets were always happy to see me. Every dog that stays in my home will receive two long walks per day, plus two additional bathroom breaks (unless requested otherwise). I will also see to it that your dog gets a lot of playtime and loving. My home is on a block that is very good for dog walks, and it is conveniently located within a five-minute driving distance from a dog park. I've been a dog lover my whole life, and I love to meet new dogs whenever I get the chance!

This is my 2nd time l had Ethan stopped by. He is wonderful with both my dogs. I have one very large husky. The breed are very bratty and difficult, but Ethan has no problem. My smaller dog took to him immediately. She never does that.

Both my dogs love Ethan. My little female dog is weary of strangers. Not Ethan. She goes right to and paws at him for his attention. I've never had a previous pet sitter that she trust. Animals sense a good person. Also, Ethan was terrific handling our large male Siberian Husky who is a very bratty, stubborn and at times difficult. Ethan knew exactly how to handle him. I highly recommend Ethan. He is now our permanent pet sitter.

Ethan did a great job taking care of our hound, Sandy! He sent pictures and updates and our pup was happy and healthy when we picked him up. We would definitely use Ethan again!
