Pet care experience
I have cared for family pets for my entire life. I grew up with cats (even helping a few of them give birth at our home) and when I was 20 years old, I adopted my first dog, a beagle/basset hound mix named Beau. Six years later, my partner and I adopted his sister, Ava, a husky/boxer mix. Beau and Ava have both crossed the rainbow bridge (Ava in 2019 at 7 years old from a sudden illness and Beau in 2021 from old age - he was 15 years old). I am now the parent of two dogs, Ellie, who is a 4 year old bully mix, and Freddy, a 3 year old Cane Corso rescue from Detroit. I have experience with very young puppies and senior dogs. I am confident, comfortable, and happy around all animals and like dogs more than most humans most of the time! I feel comfortable reading physical cues from dogs and I'm very dependable. I respect a pet owner's wishes about how to interact and care for their pet and believe our pets are treasured members of our families. I would love to help you care for your pet!
Reviews
Very excited to continue having Devon watch our cats! She’s done a great job at building a relationship with them which is a huge relief for our family when we’re away!
Devon was fantastic! She took great care of our cats and was so thoughtful and helpful in our home!
Devon was an absolute treat to have watch over our dog Beau and kitty cat Rocky. She followed their (somewhat complex) feeding instructions without a hitch. I was really nervous to leave our old dog Beau in a strangers care because he gets bad separation anxiety when we’re apart- but he was so happy and well behaved during the time we were gone and when we got home- I can tell Devon showered them with love while she was here. Our home was also spotless and well taken care of, she took out the trash and left our faucets dripping during a deep freeze to make sure our pipes didn’t freeze. 10/10 would recommend!
Thanks again Devon! You're the best!

Safety, trust & environment
Personally, when I'm not home, my dog is crated for her own safety and comfort and we use baby gates to protect her from certain areas of the home (trash, cleaning supplies in the kitchen, etc). Otherwise, she has full run of the place (and she knows it)! I'll care for your pet however you feel is best for them/your home.
Information Devon C. would like to know about your pet
I would love to know any quirks your pet has, treat preferences, nicknames, favorite activities, or behavioral needs that I should pay attention to. Knowing what to avoid is also important!
A typical day
I am happy to walk dogs wherever you/they are comfortable and feel safe. I love to play games and give belly rubs and to stimulate dogs mentally and physically.

I recently graduated with my MFA and made the move to Colorado with my boyfriend. We are still adjusting, but my schedule is very flexible! I am willing to work with clients to make sure we meet the needs of your and your pet's schedule.
