Availability

I'm currently work from home on a flexible schedule, so I have plenty of time to visit your pets. I just moved to Winchendon in the past few years and had to give up my regular clients from my previous address, so my schedule is wide open. I generally don't do well with early morning visits (before 10am) but may make exceptions based on distance from my house, so feel free to ask. --------------------------------

Safety, trust & environment

I take care of my clients pets with the same love and devotion I give my own animals. While I'm with your pet, I will do everything within my power to keep them happy and safe. I've been known to go above and beyond for clients if I feel like there is something I can do to improve a pet's quality of life while they are under my care. --------------------------------

Information Devon P. would like to know about your pet

I mostly would want to know about a dog or cat's temperament and general activity level/routine before sitting for them. This is both to keep me safe, and to make sure I'm a good fit for you and your pet - I'm currently not able to take on high energy dogs who need lots of exercise because of personal health concerns.

A typical day

I'm always willing to follow whatever the owner's usual routine is for their pets, including feeding, walks, play time, and anything else that the owner feels is important. I find sticking to the routine the animal is used to is most comforting for the dog or cat.

Pet care experience

**Please read all of my "about" info to understand my policies before making a request** Hi! I'm a certified positive reinforcement dog trainer, and am here hoping to make some extra money doing one of the things I love best - taking care of dogs! I've been doing in home dog sitting on and off for most of my adult life, both privately and as part of a company. I'm willing to work with a variety of dogs, from more "normal" dogs, to special needs dogs with health issues, and even mild aggression cases. If you have a unique situation that most sitters wouldn't accept, please contact me, I'd love to see if I could help you. Working with dogs is my passion, and I find getting to meet the variety of dogs that I see while being a sitter to be so rewarding. I will always care for your dogs with as much love and attention as I would give to my own animals. -------------------------------- NB; I do not usually accept next day bookings for new clients. It is imperative for my own safety that I meet new dogs for the first time with their owner present. Also, I generally will not accept clients who wish me to take care of their dogs while the owner is away who wish me to leave the dogs alone over night (i.e. do late night/early morning visits, instead of stay over). Dogs are highly social animals and I do not believe that staying alone unattended over night is good for their emotional health. I will not treat client dogs with any less care than I would my own animals, and I would not do this to my own dogs. I am willing to do this for cat-only households however, as cats are usually more independent by nature. --------------------------------

Devon was great visiting our home with our nervous pups that are never separated from their humans. The pictures and updates were extremely reassuring and gave us peace of mind while away for the weekend! We will absolutely reach out again,
