who we are
Kaity and Tim Evans have been pet sitting for clients in Oakland and the surrounding area since about 2008 while still working full time at their regular jobs, both in different areas of the animal care industry. With each year that came and went, their client list continued to grow. Thus, Fuzzy Britches Pet Care was born!
Kaity grew up in Martinez always having animals in her life. From dogs and cats, to snakes and lizards and almost every pocket pet you can think of, Kaity had them all at one time or another, including guinea pigs, hamsters and rats. She got her start early as a pet sitter at the age of 10 caring for her neighbor's pets while they went away on vacation. This helped spark her interest in working with animals. She has a background in the veterinary field with a special interest in animal nutrition and alternative therapies, such as acupuncture, chiropractic, massage and herb therapy.
Tim grew up in Pinole with a pack of dogs, as his parents bred and showed Afghan Hounds. He had always felt a special connection to dogs and they responded to him like he was one of the pack. His love for dogs led him to a career in pet care and for the first time in his working life felt like he was exactly where he was supposed to be. Tim's background in doggy daycare and boarding led to an interest in canine training and behavior. But don't let that fool you; he loves the kitties too. And the feeling is definitely mutual. He has also completed courses in Pet First Aid and CPR.
Kaity and Tim live in Oakland near Lake Merritt and share their home with their big goober of a rescue Dane, Dingus, and three cats: Burger, the handsome trouble maker, Sammich, the tuxie with three legs and a heart of gold, and cranky little granny cat, Miso the Siamese.
