Experienced, Reliable & Passionate!

Pet care experience

It all began with my very first dog when I was young and since then, I've been obsessed with them! Growing up, I had the pleasure of owning unforgettable dogs, loving cats, farm animals and just about any type of pet you can think of! As I got older, I turned my passion into a career and started working with dogs in a professional setting. I have 7 years of experience working in different daycares, kennels and doing personal dog walks for friends and family. At my most recent job, I worked my way up to become the manager of the entire facility after working there for almost 6 years! During that time, I've learned how to handle dogs of different size and temperament. I'm very well knowledgeable on dog behavior and have acquired skills such as proper leash manners/handling along with other various training tricks while in various pet care settings. Administering medications, feeding allergy specific food and following other detail instructions provided by pet owners are all tasks I've mastered while at my previous pet care jobs. I've also perfected services like providing baths, trimming/filling nails and cleaning ears that I can offer to you and your furry friend! Working in a daycare setting truly has grown my perspective and understanding for dogs that gave me a deep connection to them in a special way. I’m currently expanding my knowledge and am working at an animals sanctuary that specifically provides for animals with behavioral and medical needs! Even the tough cookies who may have a hard time or have difficult personalities. I treat every animal like they're my own and strive to make the strongest bond I can with any I get the pleasure to know. Providing endless amounts of love and patience for your animal is my pleasure!

Devin is amazing! She is very gentle and does a great job of making our skittish dog very comfortable.

We are really happy to have Devin as our dog walker! Our dog, Onyx, can be a bit anxious and hesitant around new people, but the two of them connected right away! She really took her time with him and was super patient. Devin now takes Onyx to spend the day in the park playing fetch and exercising him. She can handle high demanding dogs very well! She is always very flexible with her schedule and we can really tell that Onyx loves his time with her. We would recommend Devin to anyone with pet care needs, she truly is the best!!

When it comes to pet ownership and care, Devin is hands down the most knowledgeable and experienced person I know. I've seen first hand how much she does for her own animals as well as the animals she works with. She truly does go above and beyond everyday for all the animals in her life. I wouldn't hesitate to trust her with my animals or recommend her to care for my friend's and family's animals!

Devin is the most dog knowledgeable person I have ever met. My dogs absolutely love her and go crazy when they see her coming. She is very loving and playful with them but they respect her and behave well for her at the same time. She is extremely reliable - she ALWAYS does what she says she will do. You will have no worries with Devin taking care of your beloved pets- she will keep them safe, healthy and happy!!

A typical day

I love walking in parks near by! I love using positive reinforcement training while on walks which is versatile for dogs of any kind! With so many amazing smells we’ll sniff together and lots of cool things to see, me and your pup will never get bored! We can practice sit and walk in funny directions to make sure our walk is both exciting and stimulating.
