Safety, trust & environment

I like to give a consistent schedule for feeding. I give many walks for any dogs I'm watching. I have two towers for cats. There's a lot of room in the apartment complex to walk dogs and a park close by. I have two cats, so I would prefer to take care of dogs/cats that are known to get along with others.

Information Ethan R. would like to know about your pet

Boarding rules: 1. I can’t have dogs that freak out being alone, I have neighbors and cats 2. They have to get along with cats 3. They must be potty trained, I have carpets 4. None destructive I would like to know in advance of any health conditions your animal might have. You will have to provide your own food for them when dropping them off. Late owners will be charged an additional day. You'll have a 2 hour leniency period before you are charged.

A typical day

I like to go on walks with dogs and play with them. A nice cuddle as I watch something on the couch and make sure they aren't hungry or thirsty.

Pet care experience

I've taken care of dogs and cats previously. One little chihuahua back and a cat back when I lived with my parents and recently took care of a big dog back in Washington as well as another cat on my own recently. I'm good with animals, understand when they need to be fed and how much attention they need to keep them happy. I keep a clean apartment and have good space for them to move around.

Ethan, watched my golden retriever and cat for a few nights while I was out of town. He did a great job. The pets were happy and calm when I got home. Ethan responded right away and kept in touch with me during my trip.

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.
