Pet care experience

Tail Wags Guaranteed w/ Evan's Care

What sets me apart as a pet sitter is my lifelong experience caring for feline and canine companions. Growing up, I lovingly cared for six cats, handling everything from daily feedings and grooming to litter box maintenance. My heart has a special place for senior pets, inspired by my own senior dachshund, Lincoln. His health challenges, from medications to specialized care, taught me the nuances of senior pet care. While my home is quieter now since his passing, it has created a new chapter for me to share my experience and love with your furry family members, offering compassionate boarding services for dogs and cats of all ages and needs.

Evan is the best! We booked again with Evan because we know we can count on him to leave detailed reviews and give our cat the care he needs. Highly recommend.

Sunny enjoyed another wonderful week with Evan. He’s very observant with Sunny’s mood and energy level and adjusts her walk accordingly. He knows how to entice Sunny to get up and move around so she can get her daily steps in. Always very appreciative of his help with my senior dog!

Evan has been such a wonderful friend to Sunny. He is very observant and keeps me informed of significant changes in Sunny’s mood and/or mobility. Sunny has been enjoying her walk with Evan so much that she even gets up on her own when he visits (she doesn’t do that with me)!

Evan was great at taking care of Oliv and playing with him all the time. Oliv really warmed up to him. Evan was very responsive and very helpful with the care of Oliv and my place while I was away.

Evan is the best! We highly recommend. Our cat was having some digestive issues and Evan went above and beyond. He bathed our cat, wiped him down when needed, brushed him, and cleaned up after him when he had accidents. Evan gave us peace of mind while we were away. We’ll definitely be booking with him again.

Safety, trust & environment

I live in a pet-friendly one-bedroom apartment in a lovely neighborhood with easy access to green spaces for walks. I believe in providing a loving and attentive environment for my pets, which is why I only accept one pet at a time. This allows me to give them all the love, attention, and individual care they deserve.

A typical day

A typical day with me is all about balance, fun, and routine. We start the morning with a long walk to get plenty of exercise, fresh air, and sniff time before settling in for breakfast. During the day, your dog gets lots of playtime, attention, and interaction—whether that’s playing with toys, light training, or just hanging out together. At lunchtime, we head out for another solid walk to stretch legs and burn off energy, followed by some calm time to relax. In the evening, we wrap up the day with one more long walk before winding down. Nights are for relaxing—your pup is welcome to curl up on the couch, chill out, and enjoy a calm, cozy environment until bedtime.
