Professional dog trainer 🐶

Pet care experience

Hi! I own a small pet care and dog training business named BIG DOG little dog LLC. I offer direct supervision 24/7. I specialize in basic obedience, therapy & service dog training, and socialization. I am able to give pets constant care and ample opportunities for play and exercise while keeping their age and health in mind. I am a lifelong pet owner and have been training and caring for dogs for many years. I am naturally gifted at communicating with dogs. All of my services are training oriented. I'm easy going with pets and people. Daily picture updates are provided upon request. Additional charges may be applied for late pick up, shuttle services, and/or holiday premiums. Thanks and we hope to meet you!

Great with my dog, even with her medical concerns!

Devin did a great job looking after Tammy for day care. She came back exhausted after a great day of walks and playing with other dogs. Would highly recommend!

Could not have had a better experience with Devin, and would highly recommend him for both pet sitting and walking! I have a french bulldog who is shy and takes a bit to come out of her shell. Devin took the time to meet up with us before she stayed with him for the weekend and it was extremely helpful. With his gentle/warm demeanor, my dog warmed up to him very quickly. She has stayed with Devin a couple times and always comes back extremely happy and well taken care of. Also, after walking with him for only ~1 week I noticed that she has been better behaved on my walks with her, which is an awesome perk :)!

Cooper loved his time with Devin and was exhausted once home. He enjoyed getting to play with Tuck and checking out lots of Boston on their long walks!

Safety, trust & environment

For boarding and daycare I only take on the pets of one client at a time. I spend all of my time with your fur babies and we go on many adventures when able. While caring for pets at your house I do much more than just feed and potty them. I love to cuddle and get to know them and earn their trust. I like to take dogs on long walks and find opportunities to socialize them.

Information Devin B. would like to know about your pet

I am open to any and all dogs and prefer to discuss specific needs and concerns in person or over the phone. I understand that life can be very busy and we try to help with last minute pet care needs. To help maintain safety, meet and greets are required for new clients. This helps me to ensure that there will be no safety or behavioral issues. If a meet and greet is not possible we may still be able to help but depending on the circumstances an additional charge may be applied. Please be open and honest with any known issues. I often help dogs with behavioral and/or socialization concerns. Additional charges may be applied to care for dogs with high training and/or socialization needs. Safety first is our motto and policy. To best maintain the safety of everyone, all of our dog care is training oriented. We always maintain professionalism and consistency. Our training method of providing clear and constant leadership is tried and true. I have helped many dogs and clients with their individual needs and goals. I often care for more than one dog at a time. All dogs, including my own, are treated equally. Concerning behavior is redirected and corrected and reward is given when earned. This greatly reduces the chance of squabbling between dogs. Dominant and/or aggressive behavior in any form is redirected and corrected.

A typical day

I cater my services to the specific needs of you and your pets. When possible we spend most of our time outside. We like to exercise, meet new people and new well behaved dogs, and practice basic obedience and socialization. Your dog will be tired and happy!
