My wife and I live with our sweet Bichon Frise, Luffy. With our child grown and out of the house, I now have lots of time at home to care for the dogs I host. I love spending time with them—whether we’re playing, cuddling, or just hanging out. Your dog will feel safe, loved, and part of the family.

Information Ethan Y. would like to know about your pet

If you're a new client, I'd really appreciate it if you could reach out 2–3 days in advance before your pup's first stay. We’ll set up a quick meet-and-greet at my home so you and your furry friend can check out the space, get to know us, and see if it feels like the right fit for your needs. Also, please have your dog’s rabies vaccination record handy—just to make sure everyone stays safe and healthy!

A typical day

A typical day with the dogs is pretty relaxed and fun. I take them out to pee based on their usual routine, and during the day I bring them out to the yard a few times to play. I love playing fetch with them, too. When I'm at home, they usually nap on the carpet or the couch—just wherever they feel most relaxed. At night, they sleep in their crate—it helps them wind down and feel safe.

❤️ Big Hearts for Small Dogs 🐶

Pet care experience

Hey there! I’m Ethan, a dog-loving guy living with my wonderful wife and our sweet Bichon Frise, Luffy. I'm crazy about dogs, and one of my greatest joys is watching happy pups run and play in the yard. Luffy is a bit shy, so I totally get how important it is for small dog parents to find a safe, calm, and loving place for their pups. That’s why I only host SMALL dogs—under 20 pounds. No big dogs, no stress—just a chill, relaxed space where your little one can feel at home and totally comfortable. I’ve got a clean, fully fenced backyard that backs onto a quiet creek, where dogs can run, sniff, and play to their heart’s content, all while I keep a watchful eye. To me, dogs are family. Whether your pup is playful or a bit nervous, I’m here to give them love, comfort, and lots of cuddles—all day, every day.

Ethan was an amazing sitter! We were away on vacation for 5 days, and leaving Croissant with him was the best decision ever. We felt so relaxed the whole time because Ethan kept sending us lots of videos and updates every day. His backyard is huge and very clean—a real playground for dogs. Croissant had a blast running around there and loved playing with Ethan’s dog Luffy who is so friendly and sweet. It was so much fun watching them become good buddies. When we picked Croissant up, he was super happy and relaxed. He had so much fun with his pup friends at Ethan’s place and came home and slept like a baby. We’ll definitely book with Ethan again in the future. If you are looking for someone who is truly responsible, kind, and loves dogs, we highly recommend him!

Ethan and his wife are great people who cared for our doggie recently. Our Drake and Ethan’s Dog Luffy had a blast running around the garden. Highly recommended.

A fantastic sitter! I cannot recommend them enough. Daisy is a little hesitant with people outside of the family but she was thrilled to be back with Ethan. I personally also love the photos and videos he sends over regularly.
