Your fur baby’s new best friend :)
Pet care experience
I have been taking care of all types of animals throughout my entire life! I have grown up with both dogs and cats since I was a kid and am very comfortable and confident with the care they require and deserve. In high school and most of college, I worked in a vet clinic and boarding facility where I learned how to care for all kinds of dogs and cats- from very big to very small and very old to very young. Currently, I am working as an animal care professional (zookeeper) at the Birmingham Zoo! While I’m not taking care of pets, like dogs and cats, I am providing excellent care to a variety of different species every day. It is my job to provide them with the best care possible, including noticing small behavioral changes and picking up on subtle body language. I truly, truly care about the happiness and wellbeing of all animals, and I will go above and beyond to treat your pets as if they are my own. I believe all of this will help me excel in caring for your furry friend :) Additionally, I am not just limited to cats and dogs. I also have a lot of experience with reptiles, birds, and other fur babies and would be more than happy to help take care of them as well!
Reviews
Devin was great! She was so responsive and accommodating to make sure my Sallie J. had everything she needed. I'll definitely use her again!
Devin is so kind and our dog, Scout loves her! We know our fur baby is in good hands and we don’t have to worry.
Saved the day by accepting our request last-minute and did a superb job in every single way! Sent the best pictures and I’m so glad to have someone like Devin to care for my sweet boy. 10/10
Devin was wonderful! Excellent communication and fast response when I had questions! She took charge and got everything done at no hassle to me while I was away! I definitely want to use her again!!

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
Safety, respect, and earning your (and your pet’s) trust are my top priorities. I will always respect your time and your boundaries. I will be on time, follow your rules, and exceed your expectations. I will always have great communication and give you all the updates you would like and do so in a timely manner. I aim to make everyone happy and comfortable :)
Information Devin P. would like to know about your pet
I would love to know any and all information you are willing to share! Is there anything specific I need to look out for? Any behavioral concerns? Does anything trigger them (leash, crate, other dogs, kids, etc)? Do they have any medical needs or concerns that I need to look out for when we are together (diabetes, seizures, allergies, etc)? Anything they dont like such as touching their feet or face? Lastly, I’d love to know the quickest way to gain their trust and their heart! Whether it be treats, snuggles, play time, or something else, let me know the best way to bond :)
A typical day
I am very flexible when it comes to taking care of your pet! I try and tailor my day to meet your fur baby’s needs and wants. Whether that be walks at a park, playing fetch/with a favorite toy, or some grooming time I am willing to do whatever it takes to keep them happy and healthy.
