Dog dad for hire!

Pet care experience

Hello pet parents! I have raised a high energy French bulldog for the past 6 years and I've boarded countless small/medium sized dogs since I became a verified sitter on Rover. I have a great sense of knowing what animals are trying to communicate and I use this skill to improve their lives as best I can. My 100% 5 star reviews here are a reflection of my dedication to making people and their pets as comfortable as possible while they are separated. If there is anything I can do to go above and beyond for my clients, I will!

Evan is very accommodating and extremely responsive! He sends pictures and keeps us up to date whenever he takes care of our puppy and she always comes back happy.

Such a lovely and warmhearted individual! Evan's calm and confident demeanor and loving care for his dog Maus during the meet and greet, made me 100% confident in booking a stay for my pup with him. I will be returning to Evan for future boarding needs!

Evan did a great job keeping me in the loop with Max's stay with him. Very happy with his flexibility and working with me on his time with him.

The most compassionate young man. My Stanley is 15 years old, an older gentleman, Evan made sure to take care of him with the most loving and care. I truly recommend him and would book again.

Safety, trust & environment

I have a 1300 sq ft "Canine AirBnb" with no stairs and a safely enclosed balcony which my visitors love to lay out in the sun on. I can crate at night if that is preferred otherwise the space is theirs to roam including the big comfy couch and king size bed. I can bathe small/medium dogs for an added fee if needed. There are also 2 low traffic dog parks within a 2 block radius which is a good way to burn some energy.

A typical day

I usually walk 1-3 miles per day and can do runs if your dog prefers that. I live within a few blocks of 2 dog parks where I can burn off some energy with lots of fetch. While at home I will usually play with the dogs while working out, cleaning, and doing various tasks. I love having furry friends around as they make typical days not so typical.

I work from home during short pockets of the day and easily manage taking care of multiple dogs. A self described homebody I do not make a lot of plans that would make it difficult to properly care for pets. My typical dog walking schedule is 6am, 11am, 5pm, & 10pm, depending on the time of year. If you have a high energy dog, I can gauruntee I will wear them out, and if your dog is older or unable to walk much I will make sure they are not strained at all and kept from exerting themselves, especially in extreme temperatures. Feeding Schedule: Breakfast after 7am walk and dinner after the 5pm walk. Dogs are always Isolated while eating to avoid any scuffles and ensure there is not any sharing. Dogs who take medications with meals will be monitored the entire meal to confirm all medicine is ingested.
