Ethan did an amazing job not only caring for our puppy while we were away, but showering her in love to make her comfortable.

Ethan has shown to be very considerate of animals, caring about their health & welfare. He has had about 3 dogs of his own, along with helping to foster dogs, including a mother and her newborn puppies. I highly recommend him to watch, care, and/or walk people’s pride & joy pets.

Ethan is profoundly dedicated to the wellbeing of animals, no matter how big or small. With a bachelors degree in biology, he feels deeply responsible for the natural world. If I need someone to watch my cat, he is the first person I ask.

Ethan has grown up always having a dog in his life & loves animals of all kinds. He had helped me with pregnant foster dogs & raising the puppies to go to adoptive homes. He even took in a lost dog on the hwy.. bathed, fed & gave the pup a place to stay till the owner was found. As a Biology student he also understands how to care for aquatic life & has done so as a job. He is open to learning new things if unfamiliar with your species of pet (like reptiles, fish & even insects)!! He is a very conscientious & caring pet sitter.

Early riser, and as I have a few months before I head to North Dakota for a biology position, I expect to be very openly available until then!

Safety, trust & environment

Your pet will receive lots of attention, play-time, and daily walks. I will maintain the routine/instructions provided and care for them like my own. Baths, treats, and other special care can be done as requested by owner.

A typical day

I love taking dogs on long walks to new areas to engage them. Oso bay, Wetland preserve, and other nature parks are my favorite dog walking spots. I love to play with pets: get them real excited and play fetch, tug of war, chase, and of course, pets all over!

Let me know about any diet restrictions, allergies, or other special needs before I meet your pet! I'd love to learn the gender, age, social behavior, and favorite activities of your pet as best as you can provide. Heavy shedders are also perfectly fine but I do prefer to know this ahead of time.
