Your pet's new best friend!
Pet care experience
I've had pets almost all my life, and have a passion for training, interacting with, and studying behavior in animals. I've personally owned dogs, cats, horses, rabbits, and exotic fish! I've also cared for many other exotic animals, such as cockatoos, parakeets, hamsters, gerbils, rats, guinea pigs, snakes, geckos & lizards, chickens, goats, sheep, donkeys, and my personal favorites, sugar gliders. My current dog is a Sheltie, but I have handling and care experience with all sorts of breeds, including Dobermans, Boxers, Pitbulls, Huskies, Shiba Inu's, Labs, Golden Retrievers, German Shepards, Great Pyrenees, Bloodhounds, Jack Russell Terriers, Chihuahuas and more! I've worked with many rescue dogs, puppies, even show dogs, and love learning each pup's personality and quirks.
Reviews
Devin was the perfect fit for our Fletcher. She is comfortable with elderly pups and is able to give critical insulin shots. Devin was also flexible with her schedule to accommodate dispensing Fletcher's medicine with the necessary 12 hour increments. Thank you Devin!
Devin took such lovely care of my Bear for the holidays and at such short notice!! he seemed to like her very much 🥰 would absolutely recommend her.
Devin was great with my cat Freddy. She took excellent care of him while I was away for Thanksgiving. I will definitely use her again!
Devin was great and the kitties loved her. Would definitely recommend her and hire her again!
About Devin M.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I have studied and put to practice positive reinforcement training, with my own dog, cat and horses. I am knowledgable in traditional dog obedience training, and I always ask and double check how a pet parent wants me to interact with their animal. I have plenty of experience with animal first-aid, and can handle everyday mishaps as well as major wounds, choking, and other health issues. I'm proficient in pet medication, and will always take care to administer proper food & meds, if necessary. If I'm unsure of something, I will always double check with you first. I'm also happy to send updates if desired!
Information Devin M. would like to know about your pet
Let me know if your dog has any special needs and I'll be happy to account for them. Also, if your dog is fine with meeting new dogs and people, and how much leash training they have.
A typical day
Whatever your dog loves, I'm down for! Exploring the woods, walking downtown, playing in streams, or even basking in the sun. I love exploring new areas and neighborhoods, and if your dog knows the area, it's always fun to see where they like to go.

Availability
I have a pretty flexible schedule, and can stop by multiple times a day to check on your pet. I can't do overnight stays as I have my own elderly dog, but I can do early morning and late night drop ins.
