Pet care experience

Everything for Every Pet!

I have watched everything from Pomeranians to Bull Mastiffs. I have saved two dogs by performing the Heimlich on them. I have never met an animal who didn't like me. I can work around most schedules because I work from home so I set my own hours. I am used to planning things, but I can also be spontaneous. I understand your pets are more comfortable staying in their own home while you're away. They receive a lot of attention, and you receive a house-sitter as well as a pet-sitter. I've taken care of dogs in their own homes for over 30 years.

Safety, trust & environment

I will stay in your home, and keep your pet on their usual routine. I have watered plants and fed chickens as part of some of my gigs, so if you need something else done while you're away (getting mail, etc.,) I'm your woman.

Davalyn was wonderful. She went above and beyond and made sure our fur babies were well taken care of while we were gone. We highly recommend Davalyn and would book with her again.

My 2 pups seemed very happy when we got home and Dava kept the house in nice shape. She kept us informed how they were doing, which we really appreciate!

Davalyn is absolutely the best pet sitter we could ask for! They clearly adore animals and treat our furry family with the utmost love and care, always going above and beyond to make sure they're happy and comfortable. Their communication is impeccable - we received regular updates and adorable photos, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. We couldn't recommend them highly enough

Davalyn is absolutely fabulous to work with! She came to do a meet and greet before my trip, so my dogs would be familiar with her, and made sure she had all necessary information on my pups. While I was away, she sent pictures and updates on how my dogs were doing. And with the ever changing plane times and delays, she made sure to stay in contact and offered to be available if my flight was canceled or delayed too long. I highly recommend Davalyn for your pet sitting needs. And I will definitely book again in the future!

I am free to stay at your home for extended stays. If your flight is delayed or something unforeseeable happens while you're away, I am usually available to stay longer so that we're both comfortable with your pets needs being fulfilled.

I would want to know of any health information out of the ordinary. I will want to know their routine, their favorite activities and their favorite toys. I should be told if they are aggressive, or if they are okay with new people.
