Exciting Mt. Vernon stay w/ Chief!
Pet care experience
Hello! I am a friendly music teacher and performer with a large apartment in Mt. Vernon with lots of open space to romp around. The resident pup is Chieftain, a 6 year old Malinois mix with a very playful, confident and gregarious personality. I rescued Chief when he was 7 weeks old, and he grew up socializing with cats and ferrets and enjoying frequent visits to the local dog parks & doggie daycares. He loves meeting new friends and hanging out with his buddies downtown at Charm City Dogs. If your pet is looking for an exciting, active stay in the city with an outgoing pup who really really likes to play, we're your guys! Looking forward to meeting you!

Devon did a great job! I adopted my dog about 8 weeks ago, and he is not yet housebroken. Devon was patient with him and was flexible with me when my schedule changed. He definitely loves dogs - and I also liked that his dog, Chief, got to hang with Hans too. He sent tons of pictures; Hans looked like he was having a great time!
Devon was an amazing sitter! He kept me in the loop of Daisy's daily activities and what-not. Devon sent pictures of her daily walks, meal times and even when she was napping. I felt comforted that my elderly dog was in good hands. I'm will definitely book Devon to watch Daisy in the future; in fact, I'm going to ask him to watch her again this weekend!
Fishke had a great weekend with Devon and his pup Chief! Devon's a very quick communicator, and was very accommodating with our uncertain schedule and a change in drop-off time. Devon kindly sent multiple pictures of our dog enjoying his stay, which my 6 year-old always enjoys seeing. He seems to really love dogs!
Devon took care of our dog Buddy at a time when we weren't quite sure if he was ready to be left with anyone. He had been with us for18 months, but he was abused and neglected before we adopted him. It took us over a year to gain his trust, and we never left him for any period of time longer than an overnight. He would spend those hours starving himself and hiding under the piano until we returned. He was especially "velcro'd" to me, when I returned, he became clingier and clingier. Though he had made great strides since we adopted him, he was still not really interested in anyone but us and tended to be really distrustful of strangers. And then Devon came along. What a gentle and sweet guy. He seemed to read Buddy immediately, and sensed his cautiousness. It was like watching a dog whisperer. This dog, who had barked at everyone and not let anyone near him, was now just soothed, and safe, protected and comforted by Devon's truly gifted ways. I couldn't believe it. We left him with Buddy, in our home, and when we returned, Buddy was great. He had acted normally within a day and I'm sure it was because Devon KNOWS what he's doing. I was so impressed, and relieved, that Buddy was going to have a life after all!! He had adjusted to a stranger (though I think it was Devon that made it easier) and he has been different ever since. Of all the people that enter our home, and there are quite a few with a small business operation, Buddy only reacts to two people without fear....Devon is one of them. I am so impressed with him and his knowledge of animal behavior, his innate ability to stave off "level 10" outburst, and his calm and quiet, devoted dedication to the animal. I would recommend him for any dog sitting opportunity, and I wish he was available all the time!!

Chieftain is a very well taken care of dog in all ways. He loves walkin' and sniffin' around the neighborhood, kicking it with his toys in the house, as well as frequently climbing in daddy's van to go to Patterson Park or Locust Point dog park for some awesome outdoor playtime. Your dog will certainly be able to partake of all the fun activities we enjoy! I am a self-employed musician who has flexible, light hours, and I love to spend time with my beloved canine companion and his friends.
