Loving Pet Sitter Ready to Help

I’ve had dogs and cats my entire life, so caring for animals is second nature to me. I’m very comfortable with different personalities, from shy or nervous pets to high-energy dogs and curious kittens, and I’m patient in giving them time to warm up. Because I grew up with pets, I’m used to handling daily routines like feeding, walks, litter box cleaning, and playtime, as well as noticing small behavioral changes that might signal stress or discomfort. Your pets will be treated like part of my own family while you’re away.

Really sweet couple! They did a good job, it was last minute request too! My dogs seemed happy and not stressed so I know they felt comfortable with Ethan when I picked them up. He was very responsive and reassuring with photos. 10/10 recommend!

Ethan was a great host for our dog while we were on vacation! He was very friendly, easy to work with, and attentive. He really went above and beyond and treated our dog like his own.

Our dog Sher had a blast with Ethan and his dog and he also made friends with other dogs! Sher stayed for a week with them and he was so sad after coming back home. Ethan’s place was very clean and dog friendly. He regularly sent updates and photos of Sher too - it kept us at ease knowing that our pup was safe and happy. Highly recommend him if you’re looking for a dog sitter!

Schedule

Pet care fits easily into my routine because I work from home, so I’m around throughout the day to give pets attention and care. I’m able to offer frequent potty breaks, play sessions, and cuddle time, and I make sure they get plenty of mental and physical stimulation so they’re not bored or lonely while you’re away.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a private dog park and a larger public park, giving dogs in my care instant access to safe, controlled outdoor play without car trips. The private park means no crowds or unknown dogs—just a secure, clean space for leashed walks to the gate, off-leash fun (if approved), and supervised exercise tailored to their needs.​ My home is fully pet-proofed with secure fencing, no hazards, and constant supervision since I work from home. Pets get frequent potty breaks, stimulation, and a calm environment, always leashed outside and following your rules for ultimate safety and trust.

Pets

A typical day

I enjoy customizing each activity to suit the individual needs of every pet I care for. By taking into account their age, energy level, and unique personality traits, I can create experiences that feel fun, safe, and familiar for them. For younger pets, I might include playful games to help them expend energy, while older pets may appreciate more relaxed activities that suit their pace.

I like to know: Daily routine: feeding times and amounts, walk schedule, potty routine, and where they usually sleep. ​ Health & safety: vet contact, medications, allergies or food sensitivities, vaccine status, and any past injuries or medical issues I should watch for. ​ Behavior & triggers: how they do with strangers, kids, other dogs/cats, any reactivity or fears (doorbells, bikes, loud noises), and whether they’ve ever bitten or tried to escape. ​ House rules: furniture rules, crate use, off‑limits areas, treat guidelines, and what’s okay on walks (dog parks, meeting other dogs, sniffing in certain areas, etc.). ​ Fun stuff: their favorite toys, games, treat puzzles, and calming things that help them settle so I can make our time together both fun and comforting. ​ I go over these details during the meet & greet or in messages before the stay, and I’m always happy to follow written instructions step‑by‑step so your pet’s routine is followed exactly.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
