Animals love this trans gal 😇

Pet care experience

Recent: Over the past 3 years I've been petsitting through Rover and for friends and friends of friends. Back at it after a few years doing other work! My petsitting instagram is @oddjobsgal. Background: When I was 2, my parent's got a Labrador, Bailey. She was my best friend growing up and from ages 8 to 18 I was enlisted to help take care of feeding, walking, and cleaning up after her- though most of my memories of her are playing hide and go seek (she never got the hiding part down). I've taken care of many other dogs in my life, including my grandparent's rottweiler (Deena), corgi (Suli), and husky (Pfeffer). I think that my calm patience makes me great with animals. Since I graduated college, I've cared for numerous animals on a short term basis - roommates dogs and cats, as well as a handful of periods where I've been active on Rover.

Devin was terrific. Watching over my two cats (and mice, more on that in a moment), Devin was professional, reliable, and attentive. One of my cats was a fairly recent addition and was still quite anxious about having a stranger come to visit, but Devin went above and beyond to make her feel comfortable. And when I sprang the mice on Devin last minute (I had forgotten to mention them in our initial conversation), Devin didn’t bat an eye, and was as attentive to them as to the cats. I won’t hesitate to use Devin again, and I’m very happy to have found someone I can rely on. Traveling is stressful enough.

Devin was great! Wonderful communication, sent pictures, asked questions as needed. I felt very comfortable and relaxed while away knowing my 2 high maintenance girls were in capable and loving hands. Would highly recommend Devin!!!!

This was our first time using the app, and everything went great! She was incredible with our dog Barney, very professional and kind—would give an absolute recommendation without any reservations at all!

Devin is so great! Gave our boy plenty of attention and updated us on how he was. Would recommend him with your beloved pups! :)

Safety, trust & environment

I meet the pets where they are at - if they are sleepy, I go sit with them and give them pats, if they're playful, I play around with them (making sure they don't get too carried away or hurt furniture or such), if they're itching to get outside and get to walking/sniffing/pooping we do just that. I also always make sure they have plenty of good clean water after the walk!

Information Devin M. would like to know about your pet

The big two things to know are whether or not they have medical problems - bad joints, allergies, etc. - or if there is anything I should know about how they interact with people or other animals.

A typical day

I like to explore the neighborhoods around where the dogs live, taking them down different streets each time, finding parks to walk around, avoiding busy streets. This is partially for my own benefit - I love to get to know the city I'm in intimately - and partially for the pups as I'm sure they are just the same!
