Ethan G. Pet Care Provider in Asheville, NC 28806

Hello! My name is Ethan Gordon. I am a 24 year old professional. I was born and raised in Memphis, TN. I attended Colorado State University in Fort Collins, CO, receiving a bachelors in science in Wildlife Biology.

As long as I can remember I've always been obsessed with animals. Throughout high school in Memphis, I worked as a veternerian's assistant/technician at a pet hospital. When I returned home for college breaks, I continued to pick up shifts there. As a result, I have 6 years of experience with veternerian medicine. Because of this, I'm comfortable giving any types of medicine in all forms whether that's pills, shots (both subq or IV) and daily fluids.

During my college years, I have gained a considerable amount of experience applicable to petsitting/pet care. I fostered for a dog rescue organization in Denver, CO rescuing abandoned/surrendered goldens. And so, I have fostered a wide range of dogs with different personalities, energy levels and needs. Additionally, I have dogsat/housesat multiple times for a friend running a chihihua rescue where I took care and gave medicine to twenty-three dogs. I have petsat a wide variety of animals, from dogs to cats to reptiles, and so forth within the last five years in both Colorado and Memphis. On top of all of this, I am a dog owner to two german shephards. Throughout all these expierences, I have become confident in all regards to pet care and would love the opportunity to take care of your loved animals. The most important thing to me is feeling comfortable about who takes care of your animals. And so, if that means asking me a million and one questions, go for it! I'm more than happy to answer questions you may have for me!

A more recent update on me - After graduating college in May 2014, I now live in Asheville, North Carolina. I work as a field instructor for a wilderness therapy program where I work with adolescent boys in the Georgia woods. I do have a unique work schedule where I work 8 days on and 6 days off. While this schedule is untraditional, it does allow me to dedicate time to those pets I am sitting while I am off those 6 days. If you are interested in discussing your pet care needs, I'd be more than happy to answer questions about myself & my schedule!
