Information Ethan S. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your pet has any special needs that I need to account for. I am happy to accommodate any and all requirements.

A typical day

I love to go on walks, play with your animals and provide as many cuddles and pets as they desire. If they're shy and need space I can accommodate that too.

Pet care experience

I am a wildlife rehabilitator, and graduate of Paul Smith's College with a degree in wildlife science. I am an experienced pet sitter, and have worked with dogs, cats, chickens, pigs, parrots, fishes, and lizards. I live in Ithaca, and am seeking in-house and drop-in pet sitting employment for some side money. My rehab experience has made me extremely comfortable administering medications to a variety of animals. After giving subcutaneous medications to an angry fox, I would feel comfortable doing so to any dog that required it. I have a real passion for wild and domestic animals, though there is a special place in my heart for dogs. I have always felt a connection with dogs, and I often enjoy their company more than that of humans. I am looking forward to meeting all your furry (or scaly or feathery) friends.

Rosita had so much fun with Ethan and was really cheerful the second time she saw him. Thanks! I was able to tell she had a great day.

Ethan is awesome. Dani loved having him back for big walks, tug of war, and a pup cup!

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.
