Flexible care for your furballs
Pet care experience
Hi! I'm Evelyn and I love dogs. After caring for 2 boxers for several years, I know how important exercise and stimulation can be for growing pups. I'm regularly spotted asking neighbors if I can pet thier dogs and would be so happy to hang out with yours. I can definitely handle larger, high energy dogs! I'm happy to provide long walks or light jogs down by the water front or out to the dog park for a game of fetch. For less active pets I'm happy to get some play time in, lavish them with affection, or let them do their own thing.
Reviews
We are so thrilled to have Evelyn sit with Smily while we were away. Evelyn ensured that we were well informed of the goings on with our dog and home, and even went above and beyond (the house was cleaner than we left it, I'm sure. We could tell that Smily was happy and loved! We highly recommend, and look forward to booking again.
Evelyn was fantastic with my senior dog, and pup that can be lazy and have spurts of energy. Additionally, she was great with our cats, giving very detailed updates throughout the trip. I really appreciated the level of care, the attention to details, and the extra mile she went to ensure a smooth trip for not only her but myself. Incredibly grateful to have found her!
Evelyn was fantastic! At the meet and greet she showed up with pen and paper taking notes to make sure she didn’t miss anything important, which I loved since my dogs have a lot of instructions. She came on a walk with us on their regular route to see how they act and what they’re used to. I am very pleased to continue working with Evelyn in the future!
Evelyn is a wonderful and responsible walker and sitter and takes great care of my dog Freckles. She always spends a full 30 minutes with her (and often longer) and makes sure she has lots of love and attention while I’m away at work. When it’s very hot she pays special attention to Freckles’ comfort and will take her back inside to cool off if she needs it, but still makes sure the visit is the full length of time. I always receive detailed follow-up and adorable photos when the walk is done. Evelyn has had to deal with a couple accidents and has been gracious in cleaning them up before putting Freckles back in her crate. I (and Freckles) highly recommend Evelyn!
About Evelyn F.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
The safety of pets is always a top priority. Getting my client's emergency contact info and noting their preferred vet is an important part of establishing a relationship. I make it a point during meet and greets to ask about any allergies, not just of pets, but also any humans living in the space to ensure that I don't bring anything harmful into a client's home. It is my goal to treat every client's home at least as well as I treat my own. That means clients can expect me to always respect any private areas of their home. While pet sitting, I pay special attention to securing doors and windows at bedtime and any time I need to step away. Clients can expect transparent communication about how their pets are doing while they're away and the activities of any given day. When preparing to depart a client's home, I ensure that the environment is tidied and minor housekeeping tasks are completed. When returning home, you should be greeted by happy pets in a tidy space.
Information Evelyn F. would like to know about your pet
Before starting a pet sit, it's important for me to know who the emergency contact for the pets is and where to take them in the event of an emergency. I definitely want to know about any special needs or medications pets are taking. During meet and greets I may even ask for a demonstration because I really want to know how a pup is used to being treated!
A typical day
I try to tailor activities to each pet's needs. A good day include long, fast-paced walks with more active dogs or several shorter walks for couch potatoes. If a safe off leash space is available, a good game of fetch or tag can exercise pups both physically and mentally. Some pups prefer to chill and be pet around the house.

Availability
I currently work from home with a flexible schedule that allows me the opportunity to care for your lovely pets. I am typically available for pet sitting throughout the week with plenty of time during the day for multiple walks and lavishing furballs with treats and pets. Sometimes life gets busy, and getting back to a pet can mean a choice between a mess at home and sacrificing another area in your life. If you're in a bind, and I can make it work, I am happy to fill in for a short notice walk or drop-in visit for those times when life gets busy, especially for clients whom I've already worked with.
