When seeking someone to take care of your pets you idealize a person who is loving, responsible, compassionate and a natural lover of animals. You hope to find a person who would care for your pet as well as you would. Leaving your pet is often as stressful event simply because no one can love your pet a much as you do. Since these qualities are difficult to assess during a brief meeting favorable references are essential for peace of mind. Ethan provides that peace of mind when he cares for my dog Henry. I have known Ethan for over eight years, and I can attest that he possesses each of these characteristics and is highly qualified to care for your pets. He is also knowledgeable, trustworthy, respectful, and responsible. Ethan has cared for Henry at my house many times while I have been away. Henry has been well fed, walked, and exercised regularly as evidenced by the pictures and messages I receive. I have seen Ethan interact with Henry and with his own Chocolate Lab “Blue”. The thing that stands out most to me while observing his interactions is that his cheerful disposition and caring manner are genuine. Henry loves to see Ethan and responds excitedly in his presence. This says it all! Ethan takes the pet care stress out the equation. Rest assured that your pets will be well cared for, and your personal property will be protected and respected while you are away. Happy travels!
