Safety, trust & environment

I am excited to care for your pet in your home. It's the most comfortable thing for the animal to stay in their own, familiar environment, so I will adhere to the routine they're most accustomed to. I am very happy to feed, exercise, groom, bathe, cuddle, and entertain them.

Information Evan B. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know what kind of training your dog has had, if they have a sensitive temperament, what their primary motivator is (affection, food, curiosity), and if they've had any recent health issues.

A typical day

I really enjoy getting to know a creature and learning what makes their brain tick, what gives them a nice challenge, and how to give them that irreplaceable lightbulb moment when they've learned something new about themselves or their environment. I've done this with dogs, cats, and rabbits (but never chickens). Each dog's personality is so different, the activities will vary widely. The activities I enjoy doing with dogs include (but are not limited to): chase, fetch, hide and seek, loose leash training, frustration tolerance, patience, recall, tug-o'-war, or puzzle games.

Pet care experience

If your bestie is a cat, dog, rabbit, or chicken, I am excited to get to know them! I have experience with kittens, puppies, elderly cats and geriatric dogs. I've trained a foster puppy so she could be the best version of herself for her forever home, and I'm working on earning my credentials through the Certification Council for Professional Dog Trainers.

Evan was a gem! I just adopted a cat who came from a rough situation, and I've only had her for five months. In that five months, she's been going from an underweight, skittish, matted girl to a healthy, loving, mischievous girl with a serious addiction to toys. She's endured two surgeries in that time, as well. All that to say, I'm a highly protective new cat mom. Evan met me where I was at. He clearly understood that relating to Nova might change from day to day, and was clear that he would be there for her but wouldn't push. He sent regular updates, funny pictures and videos, and was also very respectful of my condo. When I arrived home, Nova was clearly well taken care of, and he'd run a load of laundry, taken out the trash and left the place generally neat and tidy. The best part that I was very glad of: excellent communication. He asked questions to clarify how I usually do things, and also asked when supplies seemed to be running low, and was perfectly willing to run out and pick up things if needed. He also was honest. Nova struggles and tries to escape being brushed, and he was open with me that he hadn't been able to do it much. That's was helpful information so that I knew I'd need to catch up a bit with brushies when I got home. I highly recommend you use Evan, but you know... not so much that *I* can't book him anymore! 😉
