Pet care experience
Hey there! My name is Devyn, I am 30 years old and I am a full-time pet sitter. I am so happy to be working with all of the lovely pets in the Edwardsville and surrounding areas. I have experience caring for a wide range of animals such as cats, dogs, reptiles, birds, rodents and fish. I have grown up with many different pets of my own, but I currently have two cats and two dogs who I love more than anything! Nothing makes me happier than getting to know a new family and creating a bond with their pets just like I have with my own. I look forward to meeting you and your animals! _____________________________________ Huge softy for all types of cats and medium to large dogs! Experienced with small dogs and puppies Excited to care for all types of animals! Claws, paws, feathers and scales! Happy to do small tasks for your home (getting the mail, watering plants, taking the trash out)
Reviews
Excellent pet care as always! Will continue to book Devyn whenever possible.
Another flawless booking. Thank you for taking care of my girls.
Devyn is always so great with my pup. He always looks forward to her visits and she keeps me well informed while I am away. I could not recommend her more.
Devyn is wonderful - she has watched our cats numerous times the last few years. The level of detail she provides is excellent and eases our worries about leaving them for periods of time. We have one especially challenging cat that is temperamental when we aren’t home and she knows how to interpret his behavior appropriately to ensure he is well taken care of without any incidents. I always feel confident being away from home when she is our sitter.

_____________________________________ Prior to visiting or staying with your pet, I gather all necessary care information from you. I take thorough notes, but it is also incredibly helpful if you can put your pet's care info in their Rover profile or leave it in a note on the counter for me. This helps ensure everything that your pet needs is taken care of and helps keep me organized! I am happy to follow all care instructions for your pet such as different types of food, specific medication schedules and/or crating if needed. Just let me know how I can help and I am more than happy to do it!
Information Devyn O. would like to know about your pet
I offer a complimentary meet & greet before your first booking begins. We can use this time to cover any of your pet's likes, dislikes, allergies, medications, health issues or food restrictions. I provide my own questionnaire and go over it with you to get to know your pet thoroughly. If you have any concerns about your pet's medical issues or specific care, I am ready to listen and learn how to properly care for your pet. I have experience giving oral, eye and ear medication as well injections with a needle (insulin). My favorite dog breeds are shiba inus, samoyeds, huskies and cocker spaniels. I am also a huge lover of cats, reptiles and birds! I'm looking forward to meeting you and your animals!

Availability
_____________________________________ I have been running my pet sitting business for 8 years now. I am a full time pet sitter, so I have plenty of time to devote to your pets! -------------- DROP-IN VISITS -------------- Each visit is 30 or 60 minutes, depending on what you choose. I book all of my drop in visits and dog walks with a 2 or 3-hour time frame for my arrival (such as 11am-2pm). This helps me keep my driving route between clients as efficient as possible, as well as give me a little wiggle room in case of traffic or bad weather. You are free to choose whatever time frame works best for you and your pet(s), just let me know what works best when you message me! Since I pet sit full time, I am almost always available for drop-in visits. -------------- HOUSE SITTING -------------- My nightly rate includes an overnight stay from (roughly) 9-11pm to (roughly) 6-8am. I am typically gone during the day and evening tending to my daily drop-in visit clients; However, I do provide one mid-day and one evening drop-in visit for your pet(s) free of charge, all inclusive in my house sitting rate. This includes any bathroom breaks, feeding, medication, water, etc. that your pet(s) need, of course. My exact schedule varies day-to-day, but your pets will always have me there overnight as well as the two free visits during the day/evening. If you would like more than two visits, you are welcome to request extra drop in visits for an additional fee. If you do not need me to stay overnight, we can arrange a custom visitation schedule during the day that best fits you and your pet's needs! **Please note that house sitting stays that fall during a holiday, are for puppies under 1 year old, or are longer than 7 nights will have an additional fee of $25 per night. If more than one of the above applies, then the fee will be doubled or tripled as needed.**
