Pet care experience
Hi, I'm Devan! I was born to cater to animals, and luckily grew up with plentiful opportunities to care for almost every kind, size, and age you could imagine - including dogs, cats, reptiles, ferrets, fish, horses, goats, rabbits, chickens, and koi ponds. I’d love to utilize my experience to help you & spoil your pet with the level of care they deserve - some of my skills include XL/Giant breed specific expertise & handling, extensive brachycephalic breed experience, administering medication (orally, topically, opthalmically, auricularly), performing appropriate surgery aftercare for orthopedic injuries, & various different eye surgeries. During my time volunteering with the Jefferson County Humane Society, I took a special interest in canine psychology & body language, and training using positive reinforcement methods - which I believe to be the gold standard. I have had experience with a wide range of behavioral issues from fear aggression, HA/DA, high prey drive, resource guarding, anxiety, and bite risk/history in dogs - however, if that any of that applies to your dog please be forthcoming so I can navigate my care accordingly. I'm also very environmentally conscious, and do not use any toxic, heavily fragranced cleaners, candles, cat litter, or products in my home. You can rest assured that your pet will be treated like my own beloved fur children while in my care!
Reviews
My dogs love Devan. I was looking for someone that can handle big dogs, and she seems very capable as she has a big dog of her own.
Thank you Devan for tending to our dogs and home with such care. We’re so lucky to have found you. Appreciate all your hard work. While we don’t got out of town much, you bet we’ll be in touch when we do. Thank you!
Devan is very communicative and kind! She listened very well to our preferences during the meet and greet and took great care of our pup during her drop in visits. Would love to have her back in the future. (:
I almost don’t want to write this review because I’m afraid once others find out how amazing she is- she’ll be too busy to help us when we need her! Devan has helped us with our dogs for years. She is so kind, honest, reliable, trustworthy and just has such a good disposition with animals. We were able to leave the country for 10 days without hesitation (and, we’re those weird people who treat their dogs like they’re our literal kids). She will always have a key to our home. Trust me- you’ll love her, but your pets will adore her!
About Devan K.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
Our front & back yard are fully fenced in separate from each other, so we are able to keep dogs from ever interacting with ours, or each other. We also have baby gates separating our kitchen, upstairs, and front entry way for extra precaution. I will not allow your dog to interact with other pets when out on walks, it is just my preference as to prevent fights, spread of disease, misbehavior caused by frustration, etc.
Home
Information Devan K. would like to know about your pet
Please tell me about their temperament - including any resource guarding, food aggression, level of (if any) prey drive, reactivity, places they don't like touched, etc. also any allergies, medications, and/or special care so I can accommodate their individual needs.
A typical day
We have 2 separately fully fenced-in large yards for pups to play, and potty to their hearts content. We also live 1/2 mile walk from Suquamish Park, and the beach! Breathe easy knowing your pup will have come home totally fulfilled, be it frolicking through the trails, digging in the sand, or just playing in our yard.
