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.

Pet care experience

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 was very attentive to Oliv’s needs and fears of a new person. He made sure Oliv was well fed and got plenty of playtime.

It’s inevitable that Evan has become Sunny’s best friend! After her quick walk due to her arthritis, Evan makes sure to give Sunny a long pet and brush time. This makes her super relaxed and snoozed for the rest of the afternoon. Very thankful how well he has taken care of our senior dog!

Evan is the first sitter I’ve used other than family. He absolutely wonderful and treated my girl like his own. He’s very attentive and sends tons of update pictures, which was great!
