Friend to all things furry.

Pet care experience

I'm an animal lover with years of experience caring for my own pets, tending to an array of critters such as snakes and cattle professionally in working with a traveling circus sideshow, and working with others pets as a sitter, walker, and over the last couple years budding trainer. My focuses in pet care are working with pet owners that have larger high energy breeds that need longer/faster pace walks, rescues acclimating to new homes and families that need some extra time and care during the day, and in my training work my focus is teaching larger breeds in proper walking protocols and using positive reinforcement to establish the 7 essential commands.

Our 3 dogs LOVE when Devon comes to visit. They are so happy in the evening when we get home from work and he takes the best pictures for us!

Devon took great care of my pup Bubba while I was gone and they became best friends as soon as he walked through the door! Devon is super responsive and reliable, and sent me pictures so I knew Bubba was having a blast :)

Devon has been fantastic with our 3 dogs. It’s our first time hiring anyone outside of family or friends to care for them and it’s been a great experience.

Thanks for taking such great care of the fur babies, paying attention to details with meticulous care, and for giving lots of love and cuddles to the crew!

Safety, trust & environment

I currently do not offer boarding as I am doing renovations to my home. When doing pet sitting and walking work I from the get go work with the pups on sitting before I enter the home to ensure they do not try to sneak out when I come in, and anytime before leaving the home I ensure they are securely leashed. For sittings I take notes from the owner on feeding amount and times, established commands, allowances such as if they are allowed on furniture, medicine types and schedule, and ask them to close off any spaces the home owner wouldn't want me in so I don't have to potentially enter them looking for their pets.

Information Devon W. would like to know about your pet

Things I like to know are triggers the dog may have, any allergies they may have, what all types of play you allow, established commands, and any medicines they take.

A typical day

I love hitting the parks through out Frederick when out walking. Especially Baker park. As far as fun for your furry friend I'm up for catch if there's a back yard at the sitting location, tug of war if you allow it, playing the shell game with them for treats, and all the tummy scratches they can handle.
