23 Years Of Dog-Loving Experience!
Pet care experience
Hi! My name is Devon and I would love to care for your dog! I grew up raising dogs of my own, as well as pet sitting for neighbors, friends and referrals. I truly believe that dogs are part of a family, and I always treat them that way! In my spare time, I am home with my own pup, Ollie, who is a Lab mix. Ollie and I enjoy playing fetch on our 3 acres, exploring the 150 acre corn field behind our home, and long belly rubs! I make an excellent dog and house sitter because of my experience caring for my own pets, and watching over many neighbor’s homes while they are away. I appreciate that a house is a home, and a dog isnt just a pet, they're family! I am a fun and outgoing person who is also very active. If I am caring for your dog while you are away, you can expect photos daily of your pup having a blast, plenty of potty breaks and walks, and if possible, fun times with other pups!
Reviews
We booked Devon for a last minute get away and she quickly accepted. I was informed that she would be gone most of the evening she was watching our boys and even though I was hesitant, I confirmed and paid anyways. In our request, we put the beginning slot at between 11:00am-11:30am and after we already paid she then let us know that she had an appointment that morning as well that would end after we had to leave; meaning we wouldn't get to meet her. We would have prefered to meet her especially since she was staying at our place and I also wish we would have been aware of this prior engagement before we paid. We never received any pictures at all and any update we got was because I reached out and asked. I asked her if she could let me know when she gets back from her event because our pups have never been in their kennel that long and she said that she would. I never received a text and it was 11:30pm at night. I was growing anxious and felt so in the dark! One of our pups was just recently nurtured which added to anxiety. I reached out again and she said that she had made it back. I was really eager for a picture especially since we had not received one that whole time and when I asked she never replied. I feel like if I'm paying you $120 to watch our pets then I shouldn't have to put in so much effort trying to get updates. I'm sure if we had met her in person, or if she had sat them before it wouldn't have been an issue at all. We ended up cutting our trip short because we felt so left in the dark and we were worried. If she had just put in the effort to send a quick pic when she got to our place and a quick goodnight pic we would have been completely fine. Maybe I just got spoiled with all the sitters previous but for the amount we paid we did not get anywhere close to the service I expected.
Another great time for Zoey!
Devon is a wonderful house/pet sitter! Would definitely use again!
The first time Devon met my pup, Manny, he ran over and jumped up to lick her! I knew he would be in good hands when he showed an immediate connection to her. Devon has been watching Manny for 3 years now and I would highly recommend her to anyone who wants to ensure their fur baby received constant love and attention while you are away. She is also quite generous and cleans up the house before you come home! 10/10!!

Please be sure to tell me if your dog is comfortable with other animals. If they are not, I will be sure to not take them anywhere that may cause a problem.
A typical day
We will walk around the neighborhood, and, if you're comfortable, play with other dogs at my house. I like to throw the "Chuck-It!" ball and let the pups run around until theyre tired.
