Animal Caregiver and Advocate
Pet care experience
If you are looking for TRUSTWORTHY, PATIENT, KIND, and RELIABLE pet care, I am here for you and your pets. I love what I do. I am USDA licensed and Animal Welfare Act certified as a handler (proof available upon request to booked clients). It is my promise to treat your pets as well as you do or better. I have been a pet owner for over 15 years and currently have 3 pets of my own. I have also been a rescue and foster agent for nearly 10 years, caring for cats, dogs, squirrels, birds, raccoons, opossums, and others. I have the attentiveness and experience to provide care for pets with special needs. I have great respect for animal boundaries but no fear. Big dogs, no problem. Litter boxes, no problem. Farm animals and wildlife feeding are no problem. My reputation and integrity are also of great importance to me as I am actively involved in the community and my church, so being in your home will come worry-free to you.
Reviews
Deven is the only person I’d trust with my fur baby. She’s extremely attentive, loving and knowledgeable of species needs/restrictions. She also owns and rescues both dogs and cats.
Deven is a phenomenal four legged dependent caregiver. I could literally write a book on how many pets she has rescued, no matter what condition she found them in. She would stop her car, pull over and coax them into her car. She carries assorted treats around just for that purpose. She has a love and compassion for all animals. She has rescued/assisted squirrels, birds, ducks, cats, dogs, raccoons and I am sure I am leaving out a few others. She built a cat feeder that she leaves on her back porch and fills everyday for the abandoned cats in her neighborhood. She has a couple of 4 legged dependents as well. Unfortunately one passed, her dear, beloved and spoiled Beagle Lucy, who was 13 and half years old. Lucy Lou was my niece-pup. Lucy Lou had birthday parties, was very cared for, she was a faithful companion and loving friend. Lucy Lou loved her mommy Deven so much! Deven is definitely gifted as a pet caregiver.

I will travel within my preferred service area to your home to care for your pets. I have multiple pets of my own, so I do not offer in-home care. At your request, photos of your pet's care can be provided throughout my service to offer you peace of mind about the care they're receiving.
Information Deven T. would like to know about your pet
Please provide any information about special needs ahead of time. I am experienced with senior dogs and cats, pets with disabilities and limited mobility, nursing/bottle-fed pets, and oral medication. I am able to comfortably lift and assist pets up to 75 lbs. Heavier pets are no problem with proper assistance devices. Sharing information about your pet's typical routine, favorite activities, and personality is always helpful as well.
A typical day
I am an eyes-on, hands-on caregiver. Your pet will be monitored at all times in my care. I will interact with highly active pets and less active pets according to their energy level. Outside time, neighborhood walks, and trips to your pet’s favorite parks and pet walks according to their regular routine will be provided. My vehicle is pet-friendly with an appropriate seat covering and harness tether. For car trips, please book a 2-hour minimum visit.
