Pet care experience

Dedicated, Active Sitter / Flexible

I have grown up in a household of dogs and cats my entire life, giving me 20 years of hands on experience understanding their unique needs and personalities. As a freelancer who works from home, I usually have an incredibly flexible schedule, meaning your pets will rarely be left alone and will get plenty of attention throughout the day. I also maintain an active fitness routine, so I’m always ready for energetic walks, or extended play sessions to keep your pets happy and healthy. There are plenty of parks and safe walkways near where I live so going for walks will always be an ease.

Ethan was amazing with Rocki! Very responsive and attentive. You can tell he has a love for dogs given his desire to go above and beyond to make them comfortable and feel at ease. Would definitely book again. Thanks Ethan!

I've had the opportunity to watch Ethan around animals for many years, and one thing that has always stood out is his patience. He doesn't rush them, force attention, or expect them to immediately warm up to him. Instead, he seems to understand that every animal has its own personality and comfort level. What impresses me most is how naturally animals respond to him. Whether it's an energetic dog that wants to play nonstop or a shy pet that needs a little extra time to feel comfortable, Ethan adapts to what the animal needs. He is calm, dependable, and genuinely enjoys spending time with them. Animals have been a part of Ethan's life for as long as I've known him, and caring for them has never felt like a chore to him. He pays attention to the little things, follows instructions carefully, and treats every pet as if it were his own. Ethan has watched my pets while I have been away and he has done a great job. Pet owners can feel comfortable knowing their animals will be cared for by someone who is kind, attentive, and truly enjoys being around them.

I highly recommend Ethan as a pet sitter and dog watcher. He is a true animal lover who has owned and cared for both dogs and cats, giving him firsthand experience with different pet personalities and needs. Ethan watched my dog, Maggie, for a week while I was on vacation, and he did an excellent job. From their first meeting, it was clear that Maggie felt comfortable with him. He was also very attentive to her separation anxiety and regularly sent me updates, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. Ethan is responsible, patient, and attentive, and he genuinely enjoys spending time with animals. Whether it's daily walks, playtime, feeding, or simply providing companionship, he treats every pet with the same care and affection he would give his own. If you're looking for someone trustworthy who will make sure your pets are safe, comfortable, and well cared for while you're away, Ethan is an excellent choice. Any pet owner can feel confident leaving their furry family members in his care.

Linda C Ethan Warford has exhibited all the qualities of what pet care should be. He was responsible, caring, and deliberate in his care. We appreciated knowing we had no worries while away.

Schedule

As a freelance designer working from home, my daily routine is highly flexible, allowing me to provide near constant companionship for your pets. I typically step out for a quick swim or workout on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, but otherwise, I'm home all day to offer frequent potty breaks, walks, and plenty of attention.
