“My wife and I have 4 dogs of various ages and breeds – 3 are younger with high energy. We have tried 3 previous pet sitters through Rover/Wag with suboptimal outcomes. We have been using Evan for nearly 2 years now, primarily when both my wife and I are at work, and we know (without hesitation) our dogs are left in the best hands. Evan is able to walk all 4 without issues and sends us videos/pictures while we’re at work every visit. Our house is always exactly as we left it (unlike experiences with other pet sitters) and he is always timely, taking care of our dogs within the windows we request. We are so grateful for Evan and his help with our dogs – we highly recommend him for anyone seeking pet care.”

“Evan Hamel has been supporting our family with his pet sitting services for the last 10 years. In that time he has not only done an amazing job with his pet sitting service but has become a trustworthy friend of ours. The love, care and attention that he has provided our dogs and cats over the years has endeared himself to them as they look forward to when Evan comes to our home. It so great to know that we can place the animals that we love in the perfect hands-Evan’s!”
