My favorite type of company!

Pet care experience

Keeps me company, listens to my babble, watches documentaries with no complaints?? ...come on over!! I've had the pleasure of owing a pet dog since I was 6 yrs old and have been around them my entire life. My most recent companion went to live with his grandma and keep her company which makes me an empty nester :-(. But the good news is that leaves me with time and space to care for other folks' babies when needed. I'm available to watch your pup in the comfort of their own space or have them come to mine. I live with my partner in a single family home with all hardwood floors and a good sized backyard. While they're here, my home is their home. I have plenty of toys and accessories left from my last pup that he uses when he visits that yours will be more than welcome to use. Aside from daily gym visits and the occasional errand or two I will be with them the entire time. I know from experience how leaving your baby can cause a bit of anxiety to say the least, and I will do whatever I can to put your mind at ease.

Devin is the best! He took such good care of our Ginger while we traveled. Highly recommend anyone looking for short or long term puppy care to reach out to Devin

Devin was wonderful! We felt so confident with him watching our French bulldog and would happily have him do it again!

Devin is wonderful and we’re so glad we found him. He took fantastic care of Ollie and Millie (pretty sure they were happier there than they are at their own house haha). He also sent frequent updates and communicated promptly.

Devin is great! He was responsive, communicative and flexible with our drop-off time. He sent cute photos and videos of my pup enjoying his stay. I’d love to book care for my dog with Devin in the future.

My home has plenty of room for your pet to spread out and explore. I use a doggie gate to keep them on one floor at a time. I've come to find each seems to uncover their own favorite spot during their stay, one of the most popular being the screen porch with all the bird and squirrel activity to watch. So between hanging out with me, being porch police, watching animal planet (which I play in the background while working), and getting some leash time in the backyard there's always something to do!

Information Devin S. would like to know about your pet

I do not have any breed preferences and I'd generally just like to know of their temperament and perhaps any particular tendencies they may have. AnyI behaviors to watch out for?

A typical day

We'll play catch and with tug toys, and enjoy general tomfoolery in my back yard....(I'm a big kid). I live in a subdivision where we can go for as long of a walk as your pup can handle. If your pup comfortable we can hang out in the wide open spaces of Lake Benson Park or the Dorothea Dix campus!

I work from home and love having four legged friends over to break up my time in front of computer screens. The rare times I'm away from home throughout the course of the day, my partner (who is just as big a dog lover as I am) actively works to become their new favorite 😂.
