Spacious apartment on the park!

Pet care experience

I believe in love at first sight and this definitely applies to every dog I meet! I’ve been a loving dog mom, an experienced pet sitter, and friend to every dog I meet. I can’t wait to use my experience and love to care for your pup! I’ve taken care of many dogs throughout my life, so I’ve had the opportunity to learn more about dog breeds and the many personalities our furry friends have! I had my dog Gizmo for 14 years and was able to learn about a dog’s development stages and needs as puppies, seniors, and every age in between! I also have cared for and been in the company of shelter dogs who require a little extra patience and understanding and even plan on receiving my NAPPS certification in the near future. I’m always striving to build on my knowledge and skills. Currently, I work for the City of New York during the day as an investigator. I’m free during the evenings and every weekend, where I’d pay specific attention to your pup, spending all of our time together. Your pup will get my undivided attention, catered to their specific needs. I understand how hard it is to be away from your pet so you’ll love that I am in consistent contact, sending photo and text updates so you know your pup is in my safe and loving care. You’ll also love that I’m responsible, reliable, and communicative. I want to know everything about your dog to ensure that I maintain their routine to keep them safe and comfortable with me. I live in a beautiful and spacious apartment in Flatbush and Ditmas Park, which is just feet away from Prospect Park. My neighborhood has plenty of history, is very diverse, and incredibly dog-friendly! I love using my surrounding environment when caring for pups because it offers lots of opportunities for doggy fun! Going to the park to take a stroll around the lake is a perfect way to enjoy the nature and get our exercise in! I live alone and usually do all the caretaking myself, however I have a very close friend named Brandon who loves animals and has helped me in the past. When I’m not pet sitting, I love relaxing at home with a good book or on the couch watching Netflix! I also like to spend time with my friends and family and make it a point to visit my mom in upstate New York as much as a can. She has two of the sweetest pups, Sasha and Bruce, who are loving and fun to snuggle.They even visit my apartment on occasion! Even on my down time, I love to spend time with animals! I also like to dance in the mirror, I love to laugh and am a bit of a free adventurous spirit.

Devin was great! We were really nervous about Charlie's first stay with a Rover dogsitter, but Devin made us feel totally at ease, sending regular updates (and pictures) and providing him with TLC in our stead! Can't wait to use Devin again!

Devin was the most incredible sitter for my dog, Bug! She sent us plenty of updates of Bug going on walks, enjoying playtime, and cuddling with her at home. She accommodated us when we ended up being a few hours past when we initially told her we could pick up Bug. I can tell she truly loves taking care of dogs. She also is across the street from Prospect Park and took Bug there daily. I would definitely trust Devin to take care of Bug again in the future.

Devin took care of Tallulah over New Year's weekend and was excellent. She was conscientious and kept me up to date, and Tallulah was happy and healthy when I picked her up. I would definitely use Devin again!

Information Devin R. would like to know about your pet

I like to learn a little more about your dog’s schedule and normal routine before a stay. Knowing if your dog has any medical issues or behavioral tendencies is also important, so I can provide the best possible care for your furry friend!

A typical day

Because I live across from the beautiful Prospect Park, daily walks are a guarantee. A stroll to smell the smells, people watch by the water, and get some energy out is a daily occurrence. Your dog will love my apartment too! It’s very spacious with plenty of spots for play time, snuggling, and sunbathing! Plus, your pup is allowed on my furniture. Whatever your pdogup needs to be safe and content, I’ll be happy to provide.
