Pet care experience
Your Dog’s New Best Friend – Walks, Play & Care!
Daycare and boarding include one or two trips to the park and of course usual trips to the garden. This year, I’ve been walking dogs more than ever, up to three times a day on a regular basis. One of the most valuable lessons I’ve learned is that no matter how much experience you have, each dog and situation is unique and requires presence and careful assessment. Throughout my life, I’ve been highly attuned to animals' emotions and experiences, whether influenced by me directly or indirectly. I believe pets are always innocent and deserve respect, patience, and positivity. I strive to create a consistent, familiar, and loving environment where they feel safe and happy.

I'd really recommend Devon Our spaniel cross, Edie, is a busy dog, and she always enjoys her time with Devon. He's an excellent dog handler, 5 out of ! Gareth Davies _ Bromley
Devon is always brilliant! My dog actually gets the holiday blues once he leaves Devon! I don’t even worry about Teddy and forget that he is even away from us when we are away because me mind is so at ease! He is definitely home away from home when he goes to Devon. Thanks Devon for always taking such good care of my little fella ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Thank you for taking such good care of Bertram!
Devon was great. Really good communication before and during my dog's stay. My dog had a great time and was well looked after and given lots of exercise and play time. Thank you!
Devon was fantastic with taking Bella on short notice so that I could help a friend out for the 2 days. Bella was well cared for on both days little miss fussy pants (I often call her) though Devon found a way arround that. Keeping me informed with her progress though out thr day park visits, play time videos and photos of her day. Hopefully she will spend more time with Devon in the near future and a possible boarding stint when the time comes.. I cant fault Devon's care for Bella its really helping her with socialising with other dogs as well and she dose come home exhausted from all the play although im sure part of that would have been the heat wave 🥵 although I may be moving out of London I know I can depend on Devon if he has a space free to take Bella as she knows Devon so will be keeping him as a sitter or boarding when that time comes and when I move away I will also keep Devon as my London sitter/boarding person when I am in London
Thank you for taking such good care of Bertram! He had a great day and we really appreciated the photos and videos

Schedule
Working from home, my two dogs fill my days with joy and companionship. My routine is consistent and low-stress, making it easy to welcome another dog into our daily walks and activities. Having an extra furry friend along would only add more excitement, fun, and positivity to our routine!

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Ensuring a pet’s safety, comfort, and happiness is my top priority, whether in my home or a pet owner’s home. At my apartment, there is a large communal garden where dogs can take a quick break from the house. The main outings are to the park, which I do twice a day, giving them plenty of time to explore and play. I create a calm, familiar environment where pets feel secure and relaxed, following their usual routines as closely as possible. A cozy bed and couch are provided, and I make sure the dog knows these are their spaces to rest and relax. While I believe dogs typically enjoy having company, especially in a new environment, there are plenty of rooms in my apartment where they can retreat for some quiet time if needed. I’m always attentive to their individual needs, offering exercise, playtime, and affection while respecting their personalities. Trust is key, and I build it by being reliable, patient, and responsive, giving pet parents peace of mind while their furry friends are in my care.

A typical day
Firstly, if your dog is new to my home, I’ll spend a few minutes getting to know them, playing with toys and interacting gently to help them feel relaxed and comfortable. Since I work from home, I’m able to check in with them regularly throughout the day. Before long, they’re usually happily snoozing at my feet while I work! The main activities include two fun outings to the park, one in the morning and one in the afternoon, each lasting around 40 minutes, with ball fetch if allowed. In between, we’ll also have little garden breaks to stretch, sniff, and enjoy some fresh air.
