Information Evelyn S. would like to know about your pet

Before sitting for your pet I would like to know your expectations as well as any particular likes and dislikes and schedules in order to keep your pet feeling happy, safe and secure. I like to make it easy for us to be on the same page and to ensure that your pet is taken care of just the way you like.

I Keep Pets Happy & Safe!

Pet care experience

I am currently available to pet sit in Oregon, California, Washington and the Castle Rock area of Colorado. I am committed to giving your pets the love and attention they deserve when you are away from home. I provide a stress free experience for you and your pet in their own environment. I work remotely and will need access to high speed internet. Some of the types of animals I have cared for: Dogs, Cats, Horses, Burros, Goats, Fish, Macaws, Parrots, Cockatoos, Cockatiels, Finches, Love Birds, Canaries, Parakeets, Ducks, Chickens, Tortoises, Reptiles, Bunnies, Hamsters, Mice, Rats, Guinea Pigs. Just a few of the services I will provide: Provide pictures and videos of your pet while you are away via Facebook or email. Affection, Petting & Conversation Playing Walks If your pet sleeps in your bed, that's okay with me. Administer Medications* Fluid Therapy* Full Coat Brushing* Bath* Home services including plant watering, mail and newspaper retrieval, and other requests that serve to make your home looked "lived in" while you are away. Pet owners who have used my services have been known to fly me to other states after they have relocated, that's how much they love the service I provide. Why I love pet sitting My parents owned a pet store for the first three years of my life. There was a menagerie of dogs, cats, fish and birds at home upon my arrival. I was given my first puppy about the time I first spoke and soon after I was learning to care for two rescued ducks. I've been the loving owner of numerous pound puppies, small to large, from truly mixed mutts to Golden Retrievers, Standard Poodles, and a Samoyed. I've cared for Malamutes, Huskies, Great Danes, Akitas, Chows, Great Pyrenees', Bernese Mountain, Poodles of all sizes, Chihuahuas, English Setters, Irish Setters, and Australian Shepherds, just to name a few. My experience administering medication I am comfortable administering medication * * Additional fee

Evelyn is so thought and takes wonderful care of our pack of three pups who all have very quirky personalities and needs. The house is always so well taken care of and we can be gone without any worries.

Evelyn always does a wonderful job caring for our sweeties, as well as leaving the home clean. You can tell she truly enjoys Rosie and Hari and “gets” them :) She also watered our plants to perfection!

Evelyn took such great care of our two dogs (9 & 5) and our house. We were gone for about a week and got daily updates, pictures, and knew they were in great hands. She took excellent care of our house, watered our outdoor plants, and many other extras so we could be away and not worry. Our dogs are a little quirky and came with lots of instructions and Evelyn was so kind and understanding about all their needs!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
