Hello,

With a track record of over 52 successful sits for 39 families through this website, and another dozen+ such sits for other families, and their beloved pets, I bring a wealth of experience and a deep love for animals, the places, and often the people involved to each assignment.

My journey has allowed me to connect with many wonderful homes and pets, and the people who love them, leaving a trail of happy clients (many who are now mutual friends) and their furry, feathered and other favored animals and plants. I feel very fortunate to have cared for so many over this time.

Currently, I am exploring opportunities to prepare for my next chapter in life, exploring residency in the lovely country of Uruguay, in my own place long term again, I'm seeking one or two more house sits in the US for 2 to 4 months starting in March or April, 2024. This period will support my plans for completing my transition from near full-time house sitting to settling down again in one place, while still offering my full commitment to caring for your home and pets as one of my final long term sits. Not to say if it worked well, it couldn't be an annual recurring situation, as I will want to return to my homeland, our beautiful USA, for shopping, seeing friends and family, and just appreciating how wonderful our country is too.

While I'm gearing towards a more selective approach to house sitting, focusing on occasional sits in special locations or for revisits to the US, I remain dedicated to providing exceptional care. My approach is based on a fair trade philosophy, with openness to tips or payment for additional services as needed.

When you pick me, and if I agree, your home and pets will be in caring and experienced hands, ensuring peace of mind during your absence. My record speaks for itself.

Let's discuss you home care needs, especially if you have pets and plants and other concerns, and how I can contribute to your peace of mind while you're away.

I'm always looking for win-win-win solutions, so everyone involved feels comfortable and confident in the process and outcomes. Part of the process is to meet and share perspectives, then if all goes well, we work out all details on paper with a finalized House Sitting Agreement, based upon the templates developed on this website, and with many years of experience. That step is a bit of work, but always ensures a good understanding and outcome, so it's worth the effort.

I want you to feel comfortable with whomever you pick as a sitter, whether or not it turns out to be me. Let me know what you need, your biggest concerns, and let's explore together if it's a mutual good match. As you can imagine, with much experience, I'm as selective as you are, preferring situations where the communication feels clear, natural, and agreeable for all.

Sitting is truly an intimate experience, trusting a stranger in your home to care for you sacred spaces, your favorite plant and animal friends. Likewise for me, I am trusting people I don't know, and stepping into the unknown each time. I am amazed at the lovely people I've served, and the trust that's been extended to me these past years, and have always done my best to honor and be worthy of that trust.

If it doesn't feel right from either side, then we just wish each other the best for finding a better fit.

Reach out at any time with questions, and I'll do my best to respond quickly.

Technical Writer/Animal Lover - Works From Home

55, Technical Writer - Consultant

Hello,

I'm Evan, a seasoned house sitter with a passion for animals and a background in technical writing and environmental health. Over the years, I've built a reputation for responsible and loving care, reflected in numerous glowing references from homeowners across the country, which you can read by scrolling down this page to the endorsements section. Many families have invited me back for repeated sits, and I've returned multiple times for a few families.

Professional and Attentive Caregiver:

As an educated, mature, non-smoking professional specializing in technical writing, I work from home, affording me the unique advantage of being present throughout the day and night. This not only allows me to offer loving and attentive care to your animals and plants but also ensures vigilant guardianship of your property. My passion for animals, gardens, and beauty motivates me to create a nurturing and secure environment for all under my care.

Comprehensive Services Offered:

In addition to basic house sitting responsibilities, I provide a suite of extra services tailored to your needs. This includes managing mail by reporting, opening, scanning, or photographing important documents upon request, handling payments or dispatching items on your schedule, and offering troubleshooting and repair services. My commitment to clear and timely communication ensures you're always in the loop, giving you peace of mind while you're away.

I bring to your home not just my skills as a caretaker but also my values of cleanliness, respect, and dedication. Whether it's managing a household, tending to gardens, or providing companionship and care to pets, I adapt to the needs of each sit with a professional and attentive approach. Regular updates, photo shares, and transparent communication are part of my commitment to ensuring your absolute confidence and satisfaction.

I'm particularly drawn to sits that offer the opportunity for outdoor activities, as staying active is important to me, but I also cherish the quiet time spent with pets or tending to a garden. My technical and problem-solving skills mean I'm well-equipped to handle any issues that may arise, ensuring a smooth and worry-free experience for homeowners.


A Journey of Care Across America:

Throughout my house sitting journey, I've embraced the care of pets and homes from the sunny beaches of Florida to the heart of Virginia, extending to the diverse landscapes of the East, South, and Southeast. In Florida, I was responsible for four German Shepherds on an 8-acre beachfront property, offering diligent care and companionship. My experiences with Cinnamon, an indoor/outdoor cat requiring daily medicine in Albuquerque, Harry, a brindle-colored rescue dog, and Winston, a playful hound in Virginia, highlight my adaptability and unwavering dedication.

Special attention to pets with unique needs has been a hallmark of my service. Sammy, a cat in Oregon, and Toby, an elderly Terrier in Renton, WA, required specific routines and care, reinforcing my commitment to their well-being. Whether it's managing medications, providing gentle companionship to senior pets, or ensuring vibrant gardens and homes are well-kept, each sit has deepened my understanding and adaptability to various animal needs and community cultures.

This journey underscores my ability to seamlessly integrate into diverse environments, caring for a wide array of pets, including dogs, cats, parrots, and turtles, ensuring their happiness and well-being in every setting.
With nearly a decade of experience, I've had the privilege of caring for a wide variety of homes, pets, and gardens, ensuring peace of mind for traveling homeowners. My journey has taken me to all 50 states, with house sits from the snowy landscapes of Alaska (my home for 15 years) to the sunny shores of Florida, and now, as I explore the possibility of settling in Uruguay, I'm looking for one or two more sits in the US to aid in my residency application process as I gather some of the required notarized and "apostilled" documentation.

Selected Quotes From Satisfied Pet and Homeowners:
(You can read the full endorsements, with far more information, in the "Reviews" section (generated by the families responses to this website, not by me, at the end of my profile, below, or with this link:

Exceptional Communication & Attention to Detail

"Evan’s updates were always timely and detailed, putting our minds at ease."
"He noticed a leak we hadn't and addressed it promptly, saving us from potential damage."

Specialized Personal Attention for Pets with Special Needs

"Our diabetic dog received his injections on time, every time, thanks to Evan's diligent care."
"He went above and beyond for our senior cat, ensuring she was comfortable and her medication was administered accurately."

Returning Homes, Animals, and Cars in Pristine Condition

"We returned to a home cleaner than we left it, a happy dog, and a freshly washed car."
"Evan's respect for our property was evident. Everything was in perfect order, from the garden to the garage."

Going the Extra Mile

"Despite a late-night veterinary emergency, Evan handled everything with composure and kept us informed."
"He organized and documented all house-related matters, making our return seamless."

Creating Bonds with Pets

"Our pets adored Evan; it was clear they received love and attention in our absence."
"He has a special touch, even our shy cat warmed up to him quickly."

Peace of Mind for Owners

"Knowing Evan was at the helm allowed us to truly relax on our vacation."
"His professionalism and genuine care for our pets and home were beyond our expectations."

Travel and Transportation:

I typically fly to house sitting assignments and, thanks to my excellent driving record (which you're welcome to verify with your insurance), most homeowners entrust me with the use of their car. Insurance usually covers me at no extra charge as I'm a "guest" of the homeowners and not using the car for work. Sometimes people add a special rider to separate me from them. Both ways have worked with no problems.

In more than 50 sits, I've never damaged homeowners cars.

This flexibility allows me to manage local errands, ensure pets get to veterinary appointments when needed, and engage with the community, whether it's a simple café visit or a hike on a local trail. My extensive house sitting endorsements attest to my reliability and the trust homeowners have in me.

Further, there is an added convenience as, homeowners often pick me up from the airport one afternoon, show me their routine, and then have me drop them off at the airport for their departures. Saving taxi service both ways.

Since the Covid crisis began, some people prefer to pick me up, show me the house, and put me up in a hotel for the night before they leave, then we head to the airport together, and I move into their home after they have flown away. This reduces stress for some, especially as it balances my orientation tour of their home and pet, garden, pool and hot-tub care protocols, with their last minute privacy as they pack and leave, and it reduces chances of swapping colds at the last minute. I'm happy either way.

I already survived two bouts of Covid, with a great immune response, a now a new vitamin regimen that seems to keep me from catching anything. May this last!

Back to cars, in only one sit, my perfect record was broken when a homeowners car was backed into by a Starbucks customer in a parking lot. He was elderly and made a mistake. And fortunately I immediately took charge and documented the situation with photos of both cars, the driver's face, license and insurance papers (and I exchanged my own drivers and insurance information too, all with photos), and immediately communicated the situation to the owners and both their and his insurance companies.

Both insurance companies found the other driver completely at fault and thanks to my expediting all aspects of documentation, communication and dealing with this unfortunate situation, full repairs were made to homeowners car at no cost to them before they even returned home. You can read their endorsement too, in my endorsements section.

What's Next:

As I navigate this transition period in my life, semi-retiring from house sitting to settle down a bit more, I'm eager for a few more opportunities that allow me to provide exceptional care while exploring beautiful communities.

Your trust in me as your house sitter supports my broader journey, making every sit a mutually beneficial experience.

Thank you for considering me as your house and pet sitter. I look forward to the opportunity to bring my expertise and care to your home.

Warmly,

Evan
PS. Feel free to reach out for a phone or video chat to discuss your pets and personal needs in more detail.

I prioritize longer-term sits, as they allow for a deeper connection and more thorough care for your home and pets. And provide me more time to focus on my tech writing work without multiple travel interruptions.

Thank you for considering me,
Evan

P.S. While tips are not expected, they are gratefully accepted and appreciated, plus they offset some of my travel expense in traveling to and from your home. Your satisfaction and peace of mind are my top priorities, and even without a TIP, I'll still do my best, as a positive endorsement from you is highly valued.

Please note, for health reasons, I am unable to accept sits in households where tobacco smoking occurs, including outdoor areas close to the home, due to a particular allergy to that plant. I appreciate your understanding and cooperation in ensuring a healthy environment for both myself and your pets. I don't mind natural smells, but do have an aversion to artificial chemical perfumes as well as tobacco...but tobacco is the worst.

This was the first time we ever had a house sitter, and it was for 5 months while my family and I went to India. Evan was the perfect match for us and our elderly cat, who had a special diet and medications. With all the unknowns involved with such long distance from home, our least worry was our house and cat in Evan's care. Evan is an extremely detail oriented, kind person who is gifted at regular communication. He sent us photos on a weekly basis, and would have done more frequently had we ... MORE
 
LAURAG ( Kansas, Jan 2022 - 5 months)
Evan was so sweet to our guinea pig. He was attentive and great about sending updates. Evan is a pleasure to have as a housesitter. He’s also a pro and helpful for getting organized for the housesit.
 
HEATHER ( New York, Jun 2024 - 1 month 1 week)
Evan was an awesome house sitter!!! Communication was easy from the get go and I so enjoyed his updates on my critters. He quickly befriended my shy female cat and spoiled both the cats in the best possible way (lots of pets and cuddles). My chickens still miss Evan and his salad castoffs. They still regularly come to the back door looking for him and complaining about the change in diet! The house plants did way better under his care then they usually do under mine and the house was left clean ... MORE
 
CASEY ( Virginia, Jan 2023 - 2 Months!)
Evan was an exceptional sitter. He definitely improved the quality of life for our 15 year old cat. She can no longer jump due to hip problems. To solve this problem , he bought stairs that enabled her to return to previously unattinable places, like the bed and scratching post. He also bought a pet heater for her to lie on to relieve pain and keep her warm. The house was in excellent shape. He had the use of the car and drove very few miles and replaced the car battery for us. He ... MORE
 
LINDA ( Maryland, Oct 2022 - 4 months - 1 of 2 endorsements from this owner )
Evan Cutler recently was our house sitter for a little over two weeks. Our opinion of his stay at our home is that he gave outstanding care. We highly recommend him. All our needs were conscientiously and completely met. Involved were two cats, one with daily medication, some plants and an outside bird feeder. A special, dietary food for one cat unexpectedly ran out and Evan initiated replacement with our veterinarian. He really watched what was going on and is quite resourceful. ... MORE
 
LILI ( Colorado, Sep 2022 - 2 1/2 weeks)
Evan, without a doubt, is one of the best sitters we have ever had. He is conscious, considerate and an excellent communicator. I never have a moment's worry when Evan is house sitting. He goes above expectations. We have asked him to continue to sit for us, the next time will be for four months. I would highly recommend him to anyone looking for a responsible person who is always looking for ways to improve.
 
LINDA ( Maryland, Jul 2022 - 2 of 2 endorsements from this owner )
Evan looked after our animals, which included a dog and 10 chickens, for 7 weeks. Our senior dog became unwell while he was here; he noticed the change in her behavior right away and acted quickly to take her to the vet. She made a full recovery. Evan is a careful and communicative caregiver and I am happy to recommend him.
 
JUDY ( Virginia, Nov 2021 - 7 weeks)
Evan sat for us while we spent a month in Africa. From the start, he was clear and prompt with communication. While gone, he kept us up to date on anything we needed to know and sent pictures of our cats frequently. One of them became ill with a cough. Evan was proactive in seeking care for him. We left Evan with one of our cars to use. It and the house were in excellent condition when we returned home. Overall, he did a great job and we would definitely use Evan again in the future.
 
MARY ( Maryland, Sep 2021 - One month)
Even was very responsive on the initial connection. With us being new to the house sitting community and he being a veteran, he was well prepared and provided us with documentation that made us feel at ease. We felt very comfortable leaving our house in his hands for a 6 week trip. Unfortunately the trip was cut short for medical reasons. With some coordination we were able to resolve the shortened house sitting stint with quick negotiation. Upon our hastened return, we found the house was ... MORE
 
BOB ( Kansas, Aug 2021 - 12 of 38 intended days)
Evan is a truly outstanding pet sitter and house sitter. He is very professional, friendly, and responsible. From the beginning our communications with him were clear and frequent. He took excellent care of our sweet and energetic dog Winston, giving him frequent walks and play times and keeping us posted on how he was doing with pictures and texts. He took care of several plants for us both indoors and out and they all look great. Evan used our car during his stay, it was simple to add him to ... MORE
 
EMILY ( Virginia, Aug 2021 - 2 weeks 2 days)
Evan was excellent at communicating and sending pics of my old kitty. He kept the house in great shape and was willing to do tasks like take the trash out and collect the mail. He let my old kitty sleep with him and in turn ended up with a new lifelong buddy! He was so attentive and let me know litter box habits (Which he knew were important to me due to my Jaggy and his age of almost 20). Evan did not hesitate to reach out for clarification and daily check ins. He also gave my kitty meds. He ... MORE
 
JEFFREY AND APRIL (INDEPENDENCE Missouri, Mar 2021 - 9 days)
Evan is very detail oriented, responsible and communicative. A true animal lover. My cats were very happy as evidenced by the many photos and updates I received while away. I returned to some well cared for kitties! Thank you Evan, it was an honor having you sit my house and animals!
 
RACHEL ( Florida, Jan 2021 - 3 weeks)
Evan was a fantastic house sitter. The most communicative guy I've met. From before the house sit until well after, he was detail oriented, friendly, and responsive. Evan sent tons of photos, and called several times throughout the stay with updates. He clearly loves animals and loved my pets as if they were his own. Evan is one of the most conscientious people I met and I would not hesitate to ask him to house sit for me again.
 
ANGEL ( District of Columbia, Dec 2020 - 2 weeks)
Evan is one of the best. He will treat you, your pets & your home right! Many thanks to him for happy cats when we returned from a long vacation. We are happy owners who got to enjoy our vacation. I am picky about who stays in my home & who cares for our cats. I actually stated a preference for a female in my ad...yet Evan replied stating he loved cats. He easily won us over because with each conversation about doing our sit, he asked about the cats (and said "meow" to them). Evan made our ... MORE
 
ANN ( Georgia, Nov 2020 - 4.5 weeks)
No rating Evan cared for our two adult cats & our home for three weeks this winter. Our kitties took to him immediately. As he works from home, the cats got lots of attention. We came home to happy kitties & a clean home. Thanks Evan.
CAROL ( Maryland, Dec 2019)
No rating Evan came and housesat for two weeks. Within five minutes our cautious cat Stella came out and let him pet her. We never had any doubts that she would be okay. We let Evan drive our cars while we were gone and he took immaculate care of them. The house was clean when we got back. He is very detail oriented; from the vet # to any homeowner information. Never worried for a moment when we were gone.
DON AND JOAN ( Washington, Sep 2019)
No rating Evan was an excellent house-sitter for our 13-year old Schnoodle. .He asked detailed questions prior to accepting the sit to ensure that he was familiar with pet emergencies, routine house activities,expectations for feeding and walking Topper. He obviously has had a lot of experience sitting and knows what he is getting into. He communicated frequently prior to arrival to confirm the dates and times. During the sit he sent photos of Topper and let us know all was okay. The house was spotless ... MORE
CHRIS ( Washington, Sep 2019)

NICOLE ( Oregon, Aug 2019)
No rating Evan took care of our house, dogs, and cat while we were away on a month-long vacation. He was a wonderful house sitter keeping us posted on the house with pet updates that included photos. We granted him permission to use our car since in Palm Springs everything is long distances from the house. Evan didn't abuse the privilege. Not only did he return vehicle in good working order by only driving 170 miles he even washed it! He also looked after our outside plants and pool. When we got back, ... MORE
STEPHEN ( California, Apr 2019 - 4 weeks)
No rating Evan house sat for us for a week while we were away on a trip. We have a townhome and a cat who loves attention and Evan did a very good job of taking care of both. Evan is fastidious, detail oriented, responsible, and conscientious. He was very good with our cat and Luna seemed to really take to him quickly. He communicated with us and kept us updated with photos so we knew our cat was getting the attention she loves. The plants were well-watered and the house neat and clean when we ... MORE
BETSY ( California, Mar 2019 - 1 week 1 day)
No rating Evan took great care of our home and our dog while we were on vacation. He sent lots of updates while we were away and photos of our beloved pup so we knew she was getting lots of walks and attention. He also used our car for running errands and it was returned in pristine condition as well. Evan was very responsible and respectful of our home and pet. Would highly recommend him as a house sitter.
ASHLEY ( California, Mar 2019 - 2 weeks 2 days)
No rating Evan took care of my senior special needs kitty for almost 5 weeks. He sent updates and photos to keep me posted. She recieved her medicines and fluids as schedule and lots of attention. She's had a few care takers over the years when I've been traveling but Evan was probablemente the most attentive to her needs! Thank you and Mirabelle thanks you!
SERENA ( Oregon, Jan 2019 - 1 month 2 weeks)
No rating Evan not only gave my pets lots of love, he deep cleaned the house and dealt with details and minutia during our absence. He is very respectful and considerate of the property and personal spaces of others. All in all, having Evan watch over our home and pets made for a hassle-free and perfect vacation. We would definitely have him sit for us again!
DAVID ( Washington, Jan 2019 - 2 weeks 2 days)
No rating Evan took care of our pets (3 dogs, two cats and two tanks of fish) for two months while we visited the land down under. When we returned we were greeted by calm, happy animals and a house almost the same as we left it. His communication prior to and during the sit was extensive. However, during our travels he sent many updates with pictures that, unfortunately, we were unable to open. Communications in some of the areas we visited was sorely lacking. We found Evan to be conscientious, ... MORE
LEXY ( Florida, Nov 2018 - 1 month 3 weeks)
No rating Evan has set the bar high. From the start, his communication was professional, efficient, and pleasant. His prior experience really showed, as he asked questions which obviously had arisen from other sits. Evan initiated communication while I was gone. When a hurricane was scheduled to come to my area, he proactively picked up items from my garage floor so when the floor was flooded. Nothing was harmed. He sent cute pictures of my cat, and pictures of my mail, forwarding what I asked him to ... MORE
SARA ( Virginia, Oct 2018 - 1 month 1 week)
No rating Evan took care of our two dogs, Charlie and Devin and our parrot Buddy during a 17 day vacation from August 15 to September 1st. He took really good care of all of them, particularly by taking Charlie and Devin on different walks every day, giving them lots of love and pets and providing important medicine to our older dog Devin. He also did exceptionally well with our parrot Buddy, who trusted him so much that he would climb on Evan's shoulder regularly. Evan also played music daily for him ... MORE
JOHANNE (Leesburg Virginia, Aug 2018 - 2 weeks 3 days)
No rating I cannot say enough good things about Evan, and I think you'd be lucky to have him sit for you. We came back to a clean house with everything in its place. He came a day early and stayed the night we got home. He took and picked us up from the airport which helped us emincely. My plants were watered, the outside fountain had water in it and the bird feeders were full. AND, more importantly, my cat was happy. I don't hink she realized we were even gone (of course, do they ever?:-D). As I ... MORE
PATTIE ( Mississippi, Aug 2018 - 1 week)

Right off the bat, his communications with us were very prompt. You will notice right away that he is an extremely conscientious person! He wants to make sure that he does everything to your liking. He took fantastic care of our 2 cats and sent many pictures of them while we were away. In addition, he had to administer a pill to 1 cat, via a cat ... MORE
TISSA ( Alabama, Jun 2018 - 5 weeks & 5 days)
No rating Evan is a responsible and thoughtful housesitter. He cared for our elderly dog, house plants, and yard & garden for close to a month.

MIRA ( Oregon, Jun 2018 - 3.5 weeks)
No rating Evan took care of our house, yard and pet for two months (April & May, 2018) and did an outstanding job. The house was clean, the yard in great shape and the pet healthy and happy when we returned. His communication prior to and during the sit was excellent. We received regular updates with pictures of the pet and blooming flowers. Evan was conscientious and thoughtful - thoroughly professional. I would use his services again in a heartbeat and highly recommend him.
SUNNY ( Oregon, Apr 2018 - 2 months)
No rating Evan is our 1st sitter, as this was a new experience for us. We were in Mexico for a break and vacation and Evan helped us relax when far away from home. Before the sit Evan was very good with communications, so I felt confident we had touched all the bases and were well prepared. When he arrived at our home he was gracious and everyone felt at ease quickly. We had time to orient him to the house and for him to get to know our 2 cats and 2 dogs. While we were away there were ... MORE

JOHANN ( Florida, Oct 2017 - 2 months)
No rating Evan was such an excellent and professional sitter with a great sense of honesty and integrity. He took care of our home as if it were his own...faithfully taking care to water outdoor plants and loving and caring for our three cats ( who loved him, as well )! My oldest cat is over 21 years old and loved his gentle attention. Evan also effectively managed a lawn sprinkler issue and a main water outage caused by contractors doing cable additions in our neighborhood. He kept me informed via text ... MORE
CHRISTIAN ( Louisiana, Sep 2017 - 2 weeks 6 days)
No rating Evan was a great sitter for our home, two Chihuahua's, and as our mail call's man! Our boys, Sparky and Weber, were charmed by Evan. He plied them on treats, took them on very interesting walks, gave them their meds, fed them on time and really loved them. We never worried about them the six weeks Peg was out of the country. Our home was in great shape on Peg's return; its always so welcoming to return to a comfy clean house after a long journey. Peg needed to return home two weeks earlier ... MORE
IMELDA & PEG ( Arkansas, Nov 2016 - 1 month 2 weeks)
No rating I would strongly recommend Evan as a house/pet sitter. He is meticulous in his duties. When he said the cat and dog were sleeping with him I knew he had been treating them well. Thank you Evan! It was a bit upsetting when my husband got sick and had to return early and I thank him for being flexible.
KATHY ( Washington, Oct 2016 - 2 weeks 4 days)
No rating Evan housesat for my husband and me when we were in Norway for three weeks recently. While we were gone he took very good care of our toy fox terrier and our house. Not only that, he also drove us to the airport when we left and picked us back up when we returned home. And he vacuumed and cleaned the house before our arrival. This was our first experience having a housesitter, and we were very pleased. We will be inviting Evan back for other stays!
SUZANNE ( Washington, Oct 2016 - 2 weeks 6 days)
No rating Evan recently came for two weeks to take care of our cat, Mr. Bigglesworth. Out of all the applicants, I really liked Evan's profile - it conveyed that he was responsible and would be a great housesitter. I was not wrong. His communications during the application process and while he was sitting for us were timely and great. It was wonderful getting updates on Mr. B while we were travelling. Upon our return, the house was very clean (just how I like it) and our kitty was very happy ... MORE
DEL ( Arizona, Aug 2016 - 2 weeks)
No rating Evan is the sitter all of us dream of. He loves our cats and has been a super papa-in-law. Every week he emails a mail call. He lists all the mail (except obvious junk), and we decide what to keep and what to have him throw out. Evan is handy. When our faucet in the kitchen broke, he researched parts online, ordered them and fixed the faucet, saving us on a plumber's bill. Our plants look divine, our sidewalks shoveled, our cars started as if we'd never been away. Anyone who "hires" Evan ... MORE
JANE LEDER ( Illinois, Jan 2016 - 2 months 2 weeks)
No rating Evan stayed at our house for 70+ days while we were out of the country. He took great care to see to it that we were informed about our mail and dealt with the few issues that came up as a result. Our cat - an outdoor cat - adapted to Evan immediately and was very well cared for. We plan to work with him again.
HAL ( New Mexico, Oct 2015 - 2 weeks 6 days)
No rating Evan was great for us as we were out of the country for almost 3 months in 3 different countries. He accomplished everything we requested during his stay He collected our mail, sent picture capture of all correspondence, followed up on several issues requiring coordination and action: set up and coordinated a unexpected city water heater inspection and when our tenant decided to stay longer he coordinated our desires. He maintained constant contact with us. He arrived as we requested, was ... MORE
