Devon can care for
Availability
I am currently in grad school and primarily working from home, so I have a very flexible schedule. I am available for drop-in visits during the day, or can stay over with pets who need more attention and care.

About Devon P.
Communication
Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on maintaining their normal routines and environment to minimize stress. I follow all care instructions closely, including feeding schedules, medications, and household rules. I’m careful to secure doors, windows, and gates, and I keep pets away from hazards while I’m there. For overnight stays, I ensure the home is left as I found it and that pets are settled, safe, and comfortable throughout the night. I communicate clearly with owners and provide updates so they know their pets are doing well while they’re away.
Information Devon P. would like to know about your pet
I like to hear about a pet’s energy level and temperament, daily routines, and favorite ways to play or relax so I can be a reassuring, consistent presence. I also appreciate knowing any quirks, sensitivities, or stress triggers, as well as what helps them feel safe and comfortable.
A typical day
I like to get to know pets, but let them set the pace. I follow their regular routines and tailor activities to their needs, from active play and walks to enrichment toys or quiet companionship.

Calm, reliable care for all pets
Pet care experience
I provide calm, reliable care tailored to each pet’s needs. I have experience caring for pets of all ages and temperaments, including seniors. I’m attentive to routines and body language, and I prioritize consistency, safety, and clear communication. I’m especially good with shy or anxious pets, taking a patient, low-stress approach that lets them set the pace. I have experience administering basic medications, following detailed care instructions, and maintaining familiar routines to help pets feel secure while their people are away. I also adapt play and engagement to different physical abilities, whether that means safely helping energetic pets burn off energy or taking things slowly and gently with pets recovering from surgery. I’ve lived with cats and dogs much of my life, and while I don’t currently have pets of my own, I bring that lifelong experience to every visit.

Reviews
We had such a wonderful experience with Devon! She went above and beyond to make sure our dogs felt safe and comfortable during the Fourth of July fireworks. She also kept us updated throughout her stay with messages and photos, so we always knew how they were doing. It was clear she genuinely cared for our dogs, and they were calm and well cared for when we got home. We are so grateful for her kindness, reliability, and excellent communication, and we would absolutely book with her again. Highly recommend!
Devon did a great job taking care of my cat while I was camping for 4th of July! Thanks Devon!!
This was the second time Devon fed and checked on my cats, and she continues to be absolutely wonderful. It is such a relief to be away knowing everything is handled perfectly. She is incredibly reliable, communicative, and attentive to all of my cat's needs. I can highly recommend Devon to anyone looking for a trustworthy, top-tier sitter—she’s fantastic!
Devon was fantastic. Great communication throughout the process. We had a very good meet up beforehand and then she was right on time when the sitting was starting. She sent regular updates and took very good care of our two pups… gave them all the walks and attention they need (as one of our dogs gets some separation anxiety). She did a fantastic job.
