Pet care experience

Vet care/ behavioural trainer

Experienced dog walker/ sitter, behavioural trainer. Qualified in basic veterinary medicine, canine nutrition + canine first-aid. 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. Please be aware that my availability is reduced during term time as I am currently studying my undergraduate at NTU!

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.

Truly an amazing pet carer ! I have a very large dog who can get a little excited at times but Devon handed it perfectly, looked after Leader so well made sure everything was done daily and overall a really lovely person, will definitely be rebooking !

This was our first time with Rover and Devon. Everything was so easy and gave us great reassurance. Devon came to meet us and Harvey before the stay and they seemed to get on well. Our trip away was for just one night and Devon shared photos and messages to let us know all was well. All in all a great stay and a great sitter. We’ve already booked Devon a second time :-)

Merlin had such a great few days when Devon looked after him in our home while we were away, looked like they had such lovely walks and did lots of enrichment. Excellent communication throughout and lots of pictures, highly recommend 🙌

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!

If your dog is reactive, fearful, or needs a muzzle when going outside you MUST let me know at our first meeting. The same goes for any medical conditions that need taking into account when it comes to exercise/ feeding. I love all dogs, big or small, and I'm not particularly concerned about breeds with a bad reputation so long as they have had basic training.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.

These prices are for 1 dog, including a booking fee of 11%.
