Devianna’s Doggy Day Care
I have recently completed my final year studying Animal Management at university, where I’ve gained a strong understanding of dog behaviour, training, health, and welfare. This allows me to provide more than just basic care—I can recognise body language, support positive behaviour, and tailor each dog’s routine to suit their individual needs. I have experience caring for dogs of different breeds, sizes, and temperaments, including more nervous or anxious dogs who may need extra patience and reassurance. I’m also confident reinforcing basic training such as lead manners and general obedience during their stay if needed. Another key difference is that your dog will rarely ever be left alone. Between me and my partner, someone is typically always home, so your dog will have constant supervision, companionship, and attention throughout the day. We are also both insured outside of Rover! I also provide a calm, spacious home environment and keep my bookings limited to a maximum of 2 dogs (as long as both owners are informed and have agreed prior), so each dog receives focused care rather than being one of many. Combined with regular updates and photos, I aim to give owners complete peace of mind while their dog is with me.

Ratings and reviews
Devianna took great care of Nina and with a lot of love whilst we were on holiday, it was the first time Nina was separated from us and during the severe heatwave. Nina was looked after accordingly with frozen shirts and towels and taken for walks only when it was cool enough. Devianna met with Nina prior to looking after her, communication has been good and I had updates daily with pictures as well. Nina returned happy and I will definitely be asking Devianna to look after her again. Thank you for taking such good care of Nina.
Devianna was very easy to communicate with. She kept us up to date with how our dog was doing. I would use her again when visiting Chelmsford and needing someone to look after him
Cider had a lovely time staying with Devianna. She is clearly and animal lover and gave him so much fuss and attention. He had long walks and I was able to completely relax knowing he was taken care of. Have already revoked and would 100% recommend.
Devianna is brilliant with dogs, she looks after my rottweiler (Dave) often. She makes sure to send plenty of photos and videos updating me on what they're up to throughout the day. Dave absolutely loves his time with her, I couldn't recommend her enough :)

Schedule
Pet care fits naturally into my daily routine. I work in the pub downstairs (Thursday-Saturday evenings - can change depending on your booking!), but between me and my partner, one of us is always at home—so your dog will never be left alone. This allows me to provide consistent supervision, regular walks, playtime, and companionship throughout the day. I’m also able to be flexible with routines, whether your dog prefers early walks, multiple shorter outings, or a more relaxed schedule. Because I’m in my final year of studying Animal Management, pet care is a central part of my lifestyle, not just something I do occasionally.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. I provide a calm, secure, and spacious home environment in our private upstairs living area, away from noise and distractions. I always take the time to understand each dog’s routine, behaviour, and any specific needs before their stay. With my background in Animal Management, I’m confident reading dog body language, managing different temperaments, and ensuring a safe, stress-free environment. I keep bookings limited so each dog receives plenty of attention and space. I also carefully manage introductions and interactions if there are multiple dogs, always prioritising safety. Regular updates and photos are provided so you can feel confident and reassured while your dog is in my care.
A typical day
A typical day is tailored to your dog’s individual needs and routine. We usually start with a morning walk or some gentle playtime, followed by breakfast and a relaxed period to settle in. Throughout the day, your dog will enjoy a mix of walks, play, mental enrichment, and plenty of companionship. I like to include enrichment activities such as basic training reinforcement, games, or interactive play to keep dogs mentally stimulated as well as physically active. There’s always time for rest too—whether that’s relaxing in a cosy spot or having some quiet downtime. Evenings are calm and settled, helping your dog feel comfortable and at home. Every dog is different, so I adjust the day to suit their energy levels, personality, and preferences.
