Seasoned and Attentive Caretaker

Pet care experience

I have taken care of pets from friends and family since I was 10 years old. Overtime, I have developed an ability to make dogs and cats feel at home and welcomed through proper time and attention, the key for anyone and any animal to feel loved. Changing wet pads, showering and bathing pets, running and playing with dogs, and cuddling with animals are second nature to me and I have years of experience doing each.

Ethan is always a joy and always comes in clutch when I need him. Yugi and him always have a good time and I can count on him to take care of my boy!

Ethan was great with our nervous Rottie and 3 kitties. Our Wiggley Boy absolutely loved hanging out with his new best friend and we hope to have him sit for us again in the near future! 😊

Ethan sent updates regularly and took great care of my dog while I was away for an entire week. The apartment was left clean and spotless. Would book again.

Safety, trust & environment

Time in = trust out. Building trust and making your pet feel safe and sound is one of my main priorities. In order for that bond to exist, consistent attention and care is needed. From proper feeding, regular walking, and rigorous playing, pets in my care will return back to you in good spirits.

Information Ethan S. would like to know about your pet

It would be beneficial to know any habits (good or bad) they have, such as: eating trash, barking often, being social/anti-social, droolers, etc. It would also be good to know what toys are their favorite and how best to get them to feel comfortable around others.

A typical day

We will be frequenting the nearby Prospect Park which has enough space for dogs to run and walk. When not at home, we will be walking and exploring the town wherever we see fit, usually ending up in a park. If on a weekend, the farmers market is a must for any of my pets to go to.

Currently, I am working full time 9am-5pm during the weekdays. Outside of those hours, having the pet come with me on outdoor activities when weather allows and staying inside to lounge around are common. I usually see it as an excuse to keep active during my sedentary office lifestyle.
