Pet care experience
I love animals. I grew up with dogs and I’ve always enjoyed helping others care for their pets. 12 years ago, my wife and I adopted a 5-year-old Bullmastiff named Ethel. She had been rescued from a puppy mill along with 27 other dogs. She was overweight, sluggish, runny-eyed, and had sores on her feet. We nursed Ethel back to health and gave her the care and attention she needed. Ethel became a beloved member of our family and lived for another 8 years until she died of old age at 13. I once volunteered with the Seattle Humane Society in their run-dog-run program. It is designed to give dogs living in kennels a chance to exercise. This gives the volunteers a chance to train them and reinforce desirable behaviors, while helping the dogs expend restless energy. I've been a dog walker for 7 years and have long term clients since the start of my dog walking business. My references attest to my reliability and skill in handling all ages, sizes and breeds of dogs. Domesticated animals are dependent upon us for survival. We therefore have a responsibility towards them to make their lives better. It is this responsibility that motivates me to make this difference in an animal’s life.
Reviews
Very dependable, consistent and goes the extra with communication.
Devon has been working with us for several years. He takes impeccable care of our dogs - they absolutely love him. They are both larger and rambunctious dogs, and he is able to walk them both at the same time with no issues (which is great because they prefer to be together). He has definitely benefited all our lives - the dogs are happier and healthier, and better behaved since he has been a part of their care. He is very dependable, flexible, and trustworthy. I could not recommend him highly enough!
I can always count on Devon for great walks for our little chi chi mix! He is dependable and reliable and works well with our dog's temperament.
Highly recommend!

Safety, trust & environment
I need to be able to reliably enter your home to walk your dog, as well as lock your home so it remains secure when we leave. Be sure your dog's gear is in good working order and easy to put on. The safety of your dog, myself, and your home is my first priority.
Information Devon J. would like to know about your pet
I like to know your dogs preferences as far as their choice of activities and social situations. I'd like to know if your dog is fearful or aggressive toward either dogs or people, and what you do to train your dog.
A typical day
I enjoy being outdoors, so dogs that like to go on walks on runs will get the exercise they desire and need. I firmly believe that exercised dogs are well behaved and well socialized dogs, and that activity and play is an important part of any dog's life.
