Pet Boarding Evans

About: Growing up, I was always interested in learning about different dog breeds and had aspirations of becoming a veterinarian. Though I did not become a veterinarian, I do have a solid background and understanding of animal healthcare and wellbeing thanks to my undergraduate studies (B.S. Zoology, some Animal Science) and ongoing interest in pet health and dog training. While still in high school, I worked briefly in a pet boarding facility where I prepared morning and evening meals, administered medications, and supervised outdoor play for large groups of dogs. From this experience supervising large groups of dogs, I became more familiar with canine body language and behavioral cues. My sheepadoodle, Ivy, came home to me at about 10 weeks old; so I did potty train and leash train her with positive reinforcement using her favorite treats. I also had the opportunity to foster a litter of 5 puppies in college and potty trained them as well. In addition to my experience with puppies, I have cared for a few senior pups including my brother’s aging border collie and pitbull mix and my late Great Boxer (Great Dane/boxer), Grover. In my experience caring for senior pups, I became familiar with the medical issues that come along with increasing age such as arthritis, incontinence, deafness/blindness, and even cancer to name a few. My own pups have also had sensitive skin, digestive issues, and recurrent ear infections. Managing these health issues at times required daily cleanings, ointment applications, and attention to ensure that wounds or infections healed without interference. I work part-time in a hospital lab, with a fixed schedule. I work 4 days in a row, then I am off for 10 days. When I am not working in the lab, I am at home caring for my two young children (ages 3 and almost 2) and 5 year-old sheepadoodle. We enjoy spending time outside in the backyard or going for walks around the neighborhood. Any dog that steps paw inside my home is treated like family. If your precious pup requires *special* treatment, I try my best to adhere to any instructions provided. I have a large crate, along with dog blankets, if your pup is into that sort of thing. It is spacious enough for any standard medium to large sized dog. I do have a decently sized backyard with 6 ft privacy fencing all around, and larger smooth rocks surrounding the grass. If your pup is not great with tiny humans, loud noises, or just the general chaos of a young family, please consider a sitter with a calmer environment that better meets their needs.

“Ciara was great with our dog! She sent pictures and updates during his stay. He came home happy & healthy! We would absolutely choose her again.”

“We are so happy to have found Tessa! She did an amazing job taking care of our pup, communicated well, provided timely updates, and is an overall wonderful person. We will definitely rebook with her in the future.”

“Riley had such a good time with Jessica and her family! It was super easy to book with them and they were very accommodating to all her needs. 🫶”

Rachel S.

“Shyla was absolutely amazing for watching our dog! She constantly gave updates with photos and videos and kept us up to date with how he was doing while we were gone. She even was so kind to watch him and take care of him after we learned he tore his ACL and had to be restricted in movement and she made sure he was taken care of! Definitely recommend her for watching and caring for your dog! ☺️”

About: My wife and I have had several years of pet care, since youth to adulthood. Currently, we have a 4 yo female border collie mix dog. We’ve seen it all in our home, your pup is safe with us! My schedule is very open, can work from home if necessary, and I can set my own schedule. Our own dog is not alone for more than 0-3 hrs a day without one of us in the home for at least an hour. In that time, we provide our own pets with potty breaks/walks/love/treats/etc. Our home has a fenced in yard that you’re welcomed to view. We have a lower floor that we will host your pup(s) to give them their own space and safety. Pet crates, toys, blankets, treats, and food are required to be supplied from the owner as we do not have a crate for your animal and to ensure optimal comfort for your pet(s).

“Darby and her family have been the perfect sitters for my Billie. They care for her, keep her safe and I can fully enjoy myself when on vacation knowing she is in good hands. Great communication and daily photos.”

Lisa D.

“We have a very timid senior dog and a very social puppy. Despite nearly opposite needs, both dogs were taken care of splendidly. My senior dog was given lots of love and attention without being harassed by the rambunctious dogs, and my puppy had tons of fun. 100% recommend.”

Julia P.

“Rupert had a good visit with Erin and Sebastian. He was well cared for and enjoyed walks and playtime. We felt comfortable leaving Rupert for the week.”

Andrea B.

“Rebekah far exceeded any expectation I had. I had never used a dog sitter before for my nervous girls and she was attentive and communicative and reassured me and my dogs that she was a great fit. I can’t recommend her enough.”

Emily R.

“Alvin was great! Flexible, very responsive, and provided good care for Bruce. My pup came back well exercised. Would definitely recommend Alvin, thanks again!”

Michele Q.

“Very sweet and responsible. I love that she offers a pickup service since I live pretty close. Definitely our first choice for a sitter whenever we need one!”

Celine H.

“Andrea did a fantastic job watching Xena. She gave me regular updates and put my mind at ease. I couldn’t have asked for a better sitter. Highly recommend.”

Leah S.

“Laurel and her family were perfect hosts. She sent daily updates and pictures to keep me up to date on Alfred’s activities. She was great in being flexible with drop off and pick up and I absolutely would book with her again 10/10.”

Kyle D.

“Jeremy and Jamie took great care of our large dog. They have a lovely house and yard. Jeremy took our dog for a 5 mile walk and shared photos of our dog looking happy. They are very nice people, and we would love to book them again.”

Adrienne W.

“This was our first time leaving our pandemic puppy since we bought him in April of this year, and I must tell you AJ did a phenomenal job with our Kobe and I couldn’t be more appreciative of the love and care he gave to Kobe and to my boyfriend and myself when we were away in Hawaii on vacation. The daily updates in the morning or perfect to get my day started and feel comfortable with Kobe being away and the videos were special as well!!”
