Safety, trust & environment

I will do my best to make the coordination process and your time away as stress-less as possible for you, and for your four-legged one. I understand what it can be like to leave them with somebody you don't know, I've been there.

Information Evan A. would like to know about your pet

Let me know what your dog or cat likes, what they don't like, and what helps them feel okay. How they communicate, what cues or sounds they respond to, and of course what health situations they might have that require special care. For walks, I'd like to know how they get along with other dogs, people, children, bicycles, cats, squirrels.

A typical day

Walks, runs, around the neighborhood, or on a trail. Off-leash space is always a win-win. Whatever they like to do best, I'm in. Unless it's tug-of-war.

Pet care experience

Hi! I've always loved dogs, and they usually love me. I'm at ease with them, I like watching their ways and learning to communicate & earn their trust. I can handle their most chaotic and challenging behavior. I've walked and taken care of dogs with the Humane Society of SoCo, where I learned to engage with dogs of all kinds: extremely reactive, blind, big and small. I've raised a pup, a collie-shepherd named Journey, into a healthy happy grown dog. I began the work of pet care-taking as a kid. I love cats too!

Thank you Evan for your wonderful compassionate care and consistent updates. Peace of mind while away from my beloved pup and home was invaluable. Thank you

Evan is a great communicator, is reliable, and most importantly is loving with our Rhodesian boy, Hijo. His calm nature was a perfect fit for our family. Thank you, Evan.

Evan watched our pup on short notice, and we were super happy with how everything went. We were away for the weekend and came home to a happy dog and a clean house. Our dog needs extra attention on walks due to reactivity and also has specific feeding instructions, and Evan was incredibly accommodating with all of it. He even came over for an in-person visit beforehand, and it was clear how conscientious he is and how important it was to him to make sure he was a good fit for our dog. That built a lot of trust for us. He also sent photos and updates over the weekend was very rad. We’d definitely use him again, and plan to next time a trip comes up. 5/5 recommend.
