As a teacher, I work 8hr days Monday-Friday during the school year. I have a car and I am typically no more than a 30 minute drive from anywhere in the greater Portland area. On weekends and during school vacations I am able to stay at your home during the day if your pets require full-time care or need breaks every few hours.

About Devon W.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
Whatever your pet’s needs are, I am happy to comply- whether it’s special feeding arrangements, medication schedules, or training requirements. For outdoorsy dogs I love putting on some headphones and going on long walks, or trips to the local dog park. For indoor critters I love engaging with them using their favorite toys, or snagging some lazy snuggles on the couch (or bed if they’re allowed). Every creature has their own personality, and I love figuring them out in a calm and patient way so we can develop a mutually enjoyable relationship together. This is very similar to how I engage with students! I have primarily stayed in the animals’ homes, but if boarding with me is necessary I live in a spacious 2 bedroom apartment (with AC), without animals or roommates, that can accommodate even critters who are not crate trained. Although I don’t have a yard I live in a quiet, residential area that’s great to walk around, PLUS I love taking field trips in my Subaru to different parks or hikes.
Home
Information Devon W. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if there’s anything that triggers your pets to react aggressively or become anxious so that I can avoid those things and ensure everyone has a good time. Even more important- please let me know what your pets absolutely love!
A typical day
Plenty of walks full of sights and smells will jumpstart our day, revive us in the afternoon, or wind us down for bed. I love a good game of tug-of-war, or there’s nothing I enjoy more than throwing a ball around in a fenced in dog park. Snuggling in bed isn’t mandatory, but it is highly encouraged 🥰.

Pet care experience
I grew up with many pets in my household-I even went to a summer camp for years hosted by the SPCA. For over 25 years now I’ve relied on positive word-of-mouth recommendations to meet new families who trust me with their precious pets- especially since I’m experienced with administering many forms of medication (including intravenously), and prefer to stay at an animals home so they’re more comfortable. I’ve had the pleasure of watching many different breeds, ages, and sizes of dogs and cats, as well as more exotic pets like rats, birds, lizards, hedgehogs, and more. I’m a state certified teacher who loves the company of animals after a long day surrounded by 30+ rambunctious teenagers. I can’t wait to meet your zoo and lavish them with care and love in your absence!

Reviews
Devon is amazing!! Wonderfully attentive to my dog during a long stay - it’s clear the two of them became great friends, and my pup came home happy and tired. Can’t wait to bring her for another visit!
Devon was great with my dog, Midna. Midna obviously felt at home right away and seemed to have a great stay. Devon handled Midna’s energy and occasional reactivity with ease. Definitely recommend.
Devon was amazing and super friendly. We will definitely be using her again.
Devon is the kind of person you want for a pet sitter. My dog, who can sometimes be a little anxious, was set at ease immediately by Devon’s relaxed energy. Devon was thoughtful, communicative and friendly, and gave our dog walks, snuggles and gave us just the updates we needed to feel confident that our pup was in good hands.
