Highlights
Pet care experience
Vet care/ behavioural trainer
Experienced dog walker/ sitter, behavioural trainer. Qualified in basic veterinary medicine, canine nutrition + canine first-aid. I specialize in clients with reactive, fearful, or generally difficult dogs and I can provide references for previous clients whose dogs went from absolute nightmares to angels on the lead after a few weeks with me. I'm not put off by breeds with bad reputations such as bullies, chow chows, shepherds etc... with the right guidance and tools, any dog is manageable. I'm somewhat of a dog nerd, ask me about the history of the akita inu and I'll talk your ear off for hours if you let me! My favourite breeds include german/ dutch shepherds, malinois, australian cattle dogs, labradors, daschunds, jack russell terriers, rottweilers, akitas (american AND japanese), and of course, staffordshire bull terriers. All that being said... you can't beat a good mutt! Currently based in Nottingham, UK.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
On our first meeting we will have a chat about your dog, their medical needs, their dietary needs, and their behavioural challenges if any. Please bare in mind that if your dog is defensive and wary of strangers, I fully expect a muzzle to be properly fitted on first meeting. I also require you to share with me your veterinary practice's number. I am trained in veterinary care and canine first-aid, so in the event of an emergency your dog will be safe in my hands until they can get to the vet.
Ratings and reviews
Reliable visit from Devon, good communication as always!
Once again, amazing care for our girl.
Devon was great with Ruby my cavapoo, he walked her, played with her and she was very relaxed when I returned from a day out at work. Thanks Devon!
We felt so comfortable leaving Merlin with Devon - we got lots of updates and assurances that everything we had asked had been done. 100% recommend!
Really great, confidence inspiring sitter. Got on famously with our little bit tricky border terrier and I think the dog is missing Devon! Had a useful meet and greet beforehand and Devon really cared for our boy - even in the heatwave. Excellent service, would use again and highly recommended
Devon has been fantastic this week. He’s looked after Bruno so well and kept him calm in this boiling weather!
