Active pet-lover here for you!

Pet care experience

I'm a pet-loving post grad who has loved animals since day 1! Starting at age 10, I would walk and watch neighborhood pets and do some housesitting. I have my own feisty Italian greyhound who lives with my parents since I moved into an apartment, and I've grown up with family pets from shih-tzus to a massive golden retriever! I'm a collegiate athlete so I love getting out and going on runs/walks, and I would love to bring your dog along with me! Whether you have a new puppy or an older guy, I love playing with new toys, running in the park, or just curling up on the couch and dishing out some belly-rubs. As a dog-owner, I know it's stressful leaving your best friend behind, so I want you to be confident that any special requests and mid-day runs are handled just like they usually would be. I want to give you peace of mind that your furry loved one is in good hands, whether you're gone for a few hours or a few days!

Devon was great with my kitty Reginald and was flexible to accommodate his feeding schedule. We really appreciated her!

Devon was absolutely wonderful!! Very conscientious about our home, the cats, and time frames. Se sent daily updates and pictures of our kitties. Devon left all areas so clean!! The kitties are very particular about their litter box, and Devon did not disappoint them or ME!!! She was wonderful!! Both kitties were very happy and relaxed upon our arrival back home. I will definitely call on Devon again.

Devon was amazing! I truly cannot recommend her enough. She was so loving to my two dogs and was a terrific house sitter while we were away.

Devon made me feel at ease, once again, when I was out of town for a few days over Thanksgiving. I got numerous pictures every day with detailed updates about my furbabies. I can tell that she made my cats happy while I was away because they were completely distressed when I returned home. I will continue to ask Devon to watch them when I go out of town!

Information Devon W. would like to know about your pet

I don't have breed preferences! I love all dogs, big or small. I do ask that you let me know if your dog has history of aggression (with other dogs, when feeding, with new people, etc). I'll happily work with those as long as I'm given a heads up. Also please let me know if they have a tendency to tear or chew on things, go to the bathroom indoors, or other similar destructive behavior. It's rare I'll turn down a dog for these reasons, but as long as I have a heads up I can remove any potential temptations (pillows, electric cords, etc) to ensure your dog doesn't get hurt and my apartment doesn't get wrecked! Otherwise, please just provide me any general info/past issues/potential concerns that you have!

A typical day

My apartment is right in the Vista in Downtown. So we can stroll through the Vista, hop across the bridge to check out the Riverwalk, or head to one of the dog parks here in Columbia if your dog likes to meet new friends. At the park I'll happily throw frisbees, tennis balls, stuffed toys, or whatever other crazy, flying toys your dog loves. If anyone is familiar with Yappy Hour at Jake's in Five Points, I can take your dog with me to run around with close supervision by staff and meet plenty of new dogs and people- only if you'd like me to of course! If not we'll run out some energy outdoors, then we can head back to the comfy A/C of my apartment to nap, play with more toys, practice old tricks, learn some new ones, and more!
