Animal Lover Providing Premium Care
Pet care experience
I am a huge animal lover with experience caring for dogs (from extra small to extra large) cats, birds rabbits & even horses. I will take careful & attentive care of your pets & home. I am responsible & clean & will take the utmost care of your home & space. I can provide plant care & receive packages on longer stays. My first furry friend was a large white shepherd mix named Tyler. I have since belonged to 3 incredible dogs, Dakota, Sutherlin and Ben (did I just give you all my passwords?) & 2 cats, Aspen & Sammy. I specialize in tummy/head/butt scratches. I have years of experience dog sitting & cat sitting & quickly win over even the most discerning felines & nervous canines. Beyond my dog loving nature, I have extensive experience owning, training and loving dogs. I’ve volunteer trained 1 dog through Canine Companions, a program which trains assistance dogs for the disabled. I have taken multiple training classes with SFSPCA and Koru K9. I have flexible availability to meet your sitting & walking needs. I can provide structured walks in which we work with reward based commands to mentally stimulate your dog or more leisurely unstructured walks. I am happy to provide longer & more active exercise for your younger dog/puppy or slower & more patient walks for your senior dog. I can administer medication if needed.
Reviews
Devin is absolutely amazing. She understands the mindset of a puppy and patiently took the time to learn my commands, and used them to continue Gabby's training during her stay. I was really impressed that Gabby walked by my side when she came home the first night. WOW! I will definitely working with Devin in the future. She is a true professional. Thank you :)
Moxie had a great vacation with Devin and her dog Ben. Devin was a good communicator and pickup and drop off went smoothly. She was even flexible when we needed to bring our doggie a day early. Moxie hadn’t boarded in anyone’s home before and Devin took her anxiety in stride and helped Moxie to settle in. Highly recommend!
Devin was great! We had her come by and feed our birds while we we’re gone for the holidays. She did a great job. Highly recommended!
Can’t say enough about Devin! She has been pet sitting my German Shepard and Golden for several years now. Both my dogs get so excited to see her. I don’t know what she does , but they are always calmer and more relaxed on the days she has them. I can always count on her and have been told by several neighbors how sweet and loving she is when she walks them. Devin always seems to know what they want and it is obvious that she has a keen understanding of animals, especially dogs as well as a deep love for them. I don’t know what I would do without her. I would highly recommend Devin

I am not offering boarding in my home currently but I am happy to house sit your pet in your home. I am a very responsible & attentive house sitter & happy to look after the other little things like checking mail or watering plants.
Information Devin W. would like to know about your pet
Open to ALL breeds, no breed or size discrimination :) But no aggressive dogs please. I grew up with and have owned several large dogs: German Shepherds, Golden Retrievers and Pittbull/Rottweiler mixes. I have extensive training experience but I would like to know if your dog has any major behavior problems or reactivity prior to booking. Does your dog have: - Any food or skin allergies? - Any leash reactivity, problem behaviors or fears/anxieties? - Special needs or medication? What is your dog's... - Exercise routine? - Potty routine? (Command used, # of outings) - Feeding routine? (Number of feedings per day/amount) - Preferred reward? (Praise, food, toys, etc.)
A typical day
I live a few blocks from Alamo Square park which has an open dog play area. If your active pupper or doggo is under good voice control, I will gladly give them off-leash time for fetch/frisbee. I have a vehicle & can offer longer walks in Presidio, GGP or Chrissy field. If your senior pooch is a bit slower these days, we will take a leisurely walk in the neighborhood.

Availability
