“I have been very good friends with Ethan for years. With any job he is given, he makes it his top priority to do that job well and holds himself to a very high standard to do so. Out of the 3 years I've known him, he has never given me a reason to see him as anything other than extremely driven and trustworthy. Not only is he one of the most responsible and hard working people I know, he really really loves dogs. He will stop dead in his tracks just to say hi to a dog walking by. He loves every kind of dog big or small and has a way of connecting with every dog regardless of their personality. I have no doubt your dog will be incredibly safe and cared for with Ethan.”
