I make sure that dogs in my care are given at least two walks a day, as well as exercise and stimulation throughout the day. I also adapt my care to each dog's needs and owner requests.
Information Ethan R. would like to know about your pet
I need to know the dog's feeding and walk schedule, how they get along with other dogs, and any other daily activities. I also need to know how much activity and attention they typically get each day.
A typical day
I adapt activities to the needs of each dogs and owner requests, but I generally make sure dogs are given at least 2 walks per day, and play with them throughout the day.

Reviews
Ethan stayed at our home for a full week to take care of our dog, Bodie, and we truly couldn’t have asked for a better person. Bodie isn’t the easiest dog to leave, he’s used to a routine, eats three meals a day, and is pretty particular about his walks and timing, and Ethan made sure everything stayed consistent for him, which we really appreciated. He made sure he was fed on schedule, got his regular walks, and just overall kept things consistent for him. That meant a lot to us. it was such a relief knowing he was being so well cared for the entire time. He also took great care of our home and kept us updated, which made being away a lot easier. We’re really grateful to have found someone like Ethan and wouldn’t hesitate to trust him again.
Ethan has been caring for our two Vizslas while we travel for the last 4 years. If you know the breed, these dogs are highly energetic and require a LOT of love and care. Ethan seamlessly delivers highly professional and quality care to them each and every time we trust them with him. From overnights, to random pop ins for a 20 min walk, or simply just running over to check on them for us he is there for it all. I never have to worry or check up on him, he is on top of the schedule and very proactive about it. As a testimony to how he cared for the dogs, they could NOT be more excited to see him as he is a neighbor of ours and we often see him out and about. He always a greeting like they’ve just found their long lost friend and they’d rather go with him than stay with me! HIGHLY recommend Ethan for all your petcare needs. You won’t be disappointed! -LL
Ethan has taken care of our pup several times over the last 2 years. Our first meeting was a few days before our trip. Ethan asked all the right questions and displayed knowledge in how to help dogs become comfortable and appropriate care (such as not walking her outside on the hot ground too long in the summer months). Everytime Ethan has watched our pup, he followed her schedule precisely, for checks and feeding. Anytime there was a long gap in care, he would come and visit to help our pup feep comfortable again. He was even available over Christmas, which I know is a busy time of year! I fully trust him in our home and with our fur-baby. Can't recommend him enough!
Ethan is reliable, prompt, and takes a great deal of interest in my pets! He is affectionate with them and they're always well-cared for, and they seem happy under his care. I definitely recommend him as a pet-sitter!
