Pet care experience

• Loving & Attentive Sitter

What sets me apart from other sitters is my lifelong experience and genuine love for animals. I’ve had multiple dogs and cats my whole life, so caring for pets has always been a natural part of who I am. I understand that every pet has a unique personality, and I’m patient, attentive, and responsive to their individual needs. I’m comfortable caring for puppies who need extra attention, consistency, and basic training reinforcement, as well as senior pets who may require a slower pace, medication reminders, or gentle care. I’m very observant and make sure pets feel safe, loved, and comfortable while their owners are away. Now that I’m away at college, I truly miss having animals around, so pet sitting is something that brings me joy in the meantime. I have a big heart for animals, and I treat every pet like they’re my own. 🐾💛

Safety, trust & environment

When caring for pets in my home or a client’s home, my top priority is making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved in their environment. I carefully follow the owner’s instructions regarding feeding schedules, portion sizes, medications, exercise routines, and any specific behavioral needs. In a client’s home, I respect their space and keep everything clean and organized. I make sure pets stay on their normal routine to reduce stress while their owner is away. This includes walks, playtime, enrichment activities, and plenty of attention and affection. I also provide updates and photos so owners feel reassured. If caring for pets in my home, I create a calm, pet-friendly environment with close supervision. I ensure they have a safe space to rest, regular potty breaks, structured playtime, and lots of companionship. Because I’ve had multiple dogs and cats my whole life, I’m very attentive to body language and behavior changes, especially for puppies or senior pets who may need extra care. I treat every pet like they’re my own and always aim to provide consistent, loving, and responsible care. 🐾💛

House Sitting • Jun 03, 2026

Develyn was amazing! We had to leave our puppy for the day, and she made the experience for us way easier. She communicated very well, keeping us updated with pictures about our little baby. He was fed on time, played with, and potty where he was supposed to. The house was also exactly how we left it. Overall the experience was amazing and we HIGHLY recommend Develyn as a pet sitter.

Develyn was great! She took a good amount of time before the booking to get to know my dogs and allow them to adjust to her while I was there, which helped me feel comfortable leaving my pups in her care! She kept me updated throughout her stay on how the dogs were and sent pictures throughout! She also left the house cleaner than when she arrived which was so nice to come home to! I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter (both home and pups)!!!

Schedule

Pet care fits easily into my daily and weekly routine because I intentionally plan my schedule around the pets I’m caring for. As a college student, I have structured class times, which allows me to create consistent morning, afternoon, and evening check-ins for walks, feeding, playtime, and any special care needs. I’m used to building my day around animals since I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life. Whether it’s early morning walks, mid-day potty breaks, or evening cuddle time, I make sure pets receive attention, exercise, and companionship throughout the day. On weekends, I typically have even more flexibility, which allows for longer walks or extra playtime. Caring for pets isn’t something I squeeze in — it’s something I prioritize because I truly enjoy it. 🐾💛

Important things I like to know about pets ahead of time Before caring for a pet, I like to learn as much as possible about their routine and personality so I can make them feel comfortable and safe. It’s helpful to know their feeding schedule, any medications they may need, and if they have any allergies or health concerns. I also like to know about their behavior and temperament—such as whether they are shy, energetic, nervous around strangers, or very social. Knowing what they enjoy (favorite toys, walking habits, or cuddle time) helps me keep them happy while their owner is away. It’s also important for me to know if the pet has any training cues, house rules, or things that might make them anxious. Since I’ve had dogs and cats my whole life, I understand that every pet has a unique personality, and learning these details ahead of time helps me give them the best care possible.
