About Evan D.
Communication
Skills
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.

Reviews
I appreciate every single rover cards from Evan because he takes the cutest pictures of my dog, Sunny, but also the goofiest. Sunny has been enjoying her walk with Evan so much that she’s willing to get up as soon as he shows up but isn’t willing to cooperate with me as much.
Evan cared our cat while we were away recently on spring break. He is a great communicator, super responsive, conscientious and responsible. He sent daily updates and photos which gave us great piece of mind while we were away. I highly recommend Evan for your pet care needs!
Evan is amazing. He’s very patient with my 13.5yr young golden who can be stubborn time to time. He’s been spoiling her with extra long petting time, and it’s been hard for me to keep up with her expectations of what a good petting session is. Very grateful to have such an amazing and reliable Rover taking care of my dog!
Evan was wonderful to work with. Super responsive and very flexible. It was our first time using the service and he made everything super simple for us . He kept us updated with texts and photos. We enjoyed our vacation knowing that our pup was in a good hands. We definitely would recommend Evan !
