Highlights
Pet care experience
A Pet Care Pro
Dogs have been apart of my life since I was 10 years old when we got our little guy Sputnik. After High School, I attended The Morris County School of Technology where I graduated from its Veterinary Medicine course that vastly expanded my knowledge on interpreting dog behavior, action steps in an emergency, and markers for potential medical complications. After that, I worked at two different esteemed dog daycare and boarding facilities for a total of 3 years. During this time I was able to put what I learned into practice with a variety of different situations and a variety of different dogs all ranging in size, age, and temperament. This experience not only taught me technical skills, but also the philosophy I now use for pet care. Each dog is unique, and what works for one might not be effective for another. It is with this in mind, that I strive to find the approach that works best for your dog. As a dog owner myself I understand that they are so much more than just pets, they are furry members of our families. This notion is important in conveying the gravity of entrusting the care of your four legged family to another. With all this in mind, I hope you will consider my services so I can get to know both you and your furry friend(s).

Safety, trust & environment
My dog is small senior pup(11 years old), so managing his comfort and administration of his medication on time and schedule are the most important aspects of his care at this point in his life. I also live on a dead-end where he is able to roam fairly freely until he is tired. While this is what works for my dog, it might not be what works for yours. Through talking with you and getting to know your dog, we will be able to come up with a plan/schedule that works best for them!
Ratings and reviews
Ethan has extensive experience caring for pets. He has worked at two highly regarded kenneling/pet care facilities, taken veterinary classes, and has cared for and owned multiple pets himself (dog, guinea pig, etc.). He has a natural love for animals and is incredibly attentive to their needs. I’ve witnessed firsthand his patience, kindness, and how he is always looking to create a safe and fun environment for pets. Whether it’s taking dogs for long walks, finding the treat/toy they love the most, administering medications, or providing plenty of playtime and affection, he consistently goes above and beyond. I’ve seen it at home with our own pets and through the way his managers spoke about the work he was doing at the pet care facilities. I highly recommend Ethan for Rover.com. Your friends will be in excellent hands with him :)
I met Ethan when he started working at the same pet care facility. From his first day, I saw a deep compassion for animals. Ethan has created strong bonds with the dogs in his care, going above and beyond, providing not just basic care, but unmatched attention and affection. Ethan was a part of a close knit team responsible for daily the feeding, cleaning, and general wellness of over 200 pets. He learned how to identify any health or behavioral concerns and to properly address them with owners. Ethan has taken care of my own pets and has created a bond with them - sometimes they are more excited to see him than myself! I highly recommend Ethan to anyone looking for a trustworthy, reliable, and compassionate pet sitter!

Schedule
Currently my schedule is very open, with only a few select dates throughout the summer where I will be unavailable. I am currently enrolled in two summer college courses that will end around mid-August. Both are virtually however, so there is no class meeting so they will impact my ability to pet care very minimally. I am a full-time student, so at the end of August I resume a full-course load at college and my schedule will be restricted; but, I should still be able to accommodate when necessary.
