Pet care experience

I have had many pets in my life, growing up we had four dogs, a quarter horse, a cockatiel, and multiple hamsters. As an adult I rescued a boston terrier with lots of personality who lived to 15yr, and then raised a red lab from puppy, who was a very good girl. I've never owned a cat but I have cared for the cats of friends and family and also adore them.

Devananda went above and beyond my expectations. My two dogs are quite challenging in different ways, and she worked hard to keep them well-walked and happy. She left my house cleaner than it was when I left!

Always an amazing job. Dogs are so calm when we get back, happy to have been in their own home and with Devananda.

Devananda was fantastic!! She took amazing care of my two dogs. I can tell they loved her. She left the house spotless and clean and even washed the sheets and towels for me. She’s my go-to sitter now! And I’m going to share her name with my friends!

Excellent care of all my animals. One was not feeling well the day we left. I was kept updated and felt very comfortable he was getting the best care. My house was cleaner than when I left! Devananda is the best!

Safety, trust & environment

My motto is to leave no trace, you will barely notice I was staying in your home. I have excellent reviews on AirBnB and treat other peoples spaces as my own sacred space. I am tidy, organized and caring. I adore animals, happy to walk and play if they are active, and easily enjoy the slow living, napping lifestyle as well. Not afraid to administer medication and comfortable with cleaning up messes and accidents.

Information Devananda V. would like to know about your pet

I'd love to know about your pets personality and preferences. It's important to know if your pet is good with other pets, animals, people of all ages; if they need medication or have special needs; and what commands and the terms you use for those commands. Plus the fun stuff: are they allowed on any furniture, are they a snuggler, do they sneak food, do they like long walks on the beach?

A typical day

I am active and enjoy walking myself, if your pet is up for activities I'd love to play endless fetch, take them for dips in the river, the dog park or any activities they enjoy. If they have friends I'm happy to take them or host play dates as well.

I am currently on a soul stroll after getting divorced last year. I am looking to house and pet sit as a way to travel and as inspiration for my writing. I am a dedicated yogi, sober and substance free, and upcoming MFA - creative writing candidate.
