Welcome & have a blessed day!

Pet care experience

I stand out from other sitters due to some exceptional qualities and special skills: 1. Extensive Experience: I have many years of pet-sitting experience, working with various types of animals and handling different personalities. This diverse experience allows me to handle a wide range of situations with ease and expertise. 2. Specialized Training: I have a deep understanding of animal needs, body language, and behavior, enabling them to provide top-notch care and support to pets in their care. 3. Medical Knowledge: I'm well-equipped to handle emergency situations and provide immediate care if necessary. Knowledge of pet health and wellness ensures that pets remain safe and attended to at all times. 4. Personalized Approach: I believes in personalized care for each furry friend. Taking the time to understand the specific needs, preferences, and routines of each pet, ensuring a comfortable and stress-free experience for them while their owners are away. 5. Strong Communication Skills: I maintain open and proactive communication with pet owners, providing regular updates and addressing any concerns or questions promptly. This level of communication helps create trust and reassurance for both owners and their beloved pets

Devon was a great sitter while we had a long vacation. He was awesome at texting updates every day and letting us know how things were going. Nala had fun with his dogs and in the large backyard.

Information Devon P. would like to know about your pet

Any need that a dog has specifically just let me know and I’ll make sure it’s handled in a timely manner! Every dog will receive the same love and care.

A typical day

1. Playtime: Dogs love to play, so incorporating interactive games like fetch, tug-of-war, or hide-and-seek can provide them with mental and physical stimulation. Use their favorite toys or incorporate new ones to keep them engaged and entertained. 2. Outdoor Adventures: Take the dogs on walks to local parks or trails where they can explore new surroundings and encounter different smells. This allows them to burn off energy and enjoy the fresh air. You can also engage in activities like jogging or hiking if the dogs have the appropriate training and physical capabilities. 3. Training Sessions: Spend time engaging in training sessions with the dogs, teaching them basic commands or fun tricks. This not only provides mental stimulation but also strengthens the bond between you and the dogs. Positive reinforcement techniques can be effective and rewarding for the dogs. 4. Enrichment Activities: Provide dogs with puzzle toys, treat-dispensing toys, or interactive feeding games to keep them mentally stimulated. These activities require them to use their problem-solving skills while offering a fun challenge. 5. Relaxation and Bonding Time: After physical activities, it's important to allow dogs to relax and enjoy some quiet bonding time. Offer them belly rub

With my current work schedule ending in the mid-afternoon, I have significant availability in the late afternoon, evening, and weekends for pet care. This aligns perfectly with your needs, as you mentioned being free after your work hours. As a devoted dog owner myself, I understand the importance of engaging with and providing attention to our furry friends. Rest assured that your pets will receive the same level of love, care, and playtime that I devote to my own dogs. During my available hours, I can dedicate quality time to your pets. Whether it's taking them for walks, playing fetch in the park, or simply providing companionship in the comfort of their home, I am committed to ensuring their well-being and happiness. Additionally, my experience with my own dogs has given me insight into their needs and behaviors. This allows me to be attentive and understand the cues that indicate when it's time for exercise, mental stimulation, or relaxation. Overall, incorporating pet care into my routine is seamless, as it aligns with my available schedule and my passion for spending time with animals. You can trust that by choosing me as your pet sitter, your dogs will receive the utmost attention, care, and companionship during the times you are unable to be with them.
