About Dev

Pros of having me as your pet-sitter:

1. I work from home, so your pets will be under my supervision 24*7. And also 2-3 dog walks per day!

(Good supervision for cats, rabbits, birds too!)

2. I'm married and my wife loves pet-sitting too and she stays at home. I and my wife will together take care of your pets.

3. I live in Griffintown which has plenty of open green spaces and dog parks around for plenty of dog walks and play time.

4. I have a large apartment with a large balcony which gets good sun. There's a lot of space for your pets, both inside and outside! And the AC runs 24/7 in the summer. All sofas at your pet's disposal!

5. I'm experienced and can take good care of your pet by understanding their body language and needs.

6. I can take care of any mess your pet might make, and you don't need to worry about it. 🙂

7. I LOVE pets. Unconditionally. I grew up with dogs and cats, and I genuinely feel that more than just "pets", they are the most important part of family.

Now the long version-

I am a 33 year old health and nutrition coach who has lived his life around and with pets since I was born. Growing up with dogs and cats, I have learned a lot about life from them and my day feels complete when I spend it with a pet. Hence why I'm here on this platform.

I have been a pet sitter for as far as I can remember, sitting my friends' cats and dogs and I find joy and peace in being able to befriend them and take care of them. My empathy is my biggest asset which helps me understand their needs well through their body language and bevahiour.

I have owned 5 dogs and 3 cats, and I have taken care of more than 50 pets till date and I have adequate experience in taking care of their needs and keeping them happy. 

Currently in Montreal, I don't own any pet of my own, and I don't have kids. So your pet will get all the unshared space, care and attention! I live with my wife near Metro Bonaventure in Griffintown right behind Bell Centre, which is a nice area filled with green spaces and parks which is ideal for dog walks and play. My apartment is quite large with lots of space for your pet to be at peace and comfort in.

I request you to let me know of any behaviour issues that I need to be aware of about your pet and please get all the necessary supplies (basket, bed, food, water feeding bottle, food bowls, poo bags, leash, muddy paw towel, muzzle (if required)). Home visits will be limited to 2 km around Metro Bonaventure. Let me know how and at what time they need to be fed and if there's any other special requirement.

Since I work from home, I'll always be with your pet at home. Your pets will be under my and my wife's care and supervision 24*7.
I'll take them for a walk at least twice a day, 30-45 mins each (morning and evening).
On request, I can add a third walk as well at night. Let me know.
They'll also be playing in the house. So they'll be active.

It was the first time we left Hime with a pet sitter for the day and Dev was awesome! She had a great time and we got a lot of pictures.

We will book again with him for sure!

+10 years of experience
Have taken care of more than 30 pets (cars, dogs and birds), and raised and parented 5 dogs and 3 cats. Well versed with pet behaviour and I take pride in being able to take good care of pets! Your pets will be safe, happy and content with me as their temporary caretaker. I understand that just like people, pets have their individual personalities too. Some are playful, others are calm, some want attention while others want to be left alone. I keep your pets' wants and preferences in mind when interacting with them, to make them feel as comfortable as I can. They'll have me 24*7 since I work from home and I'll take care of their needs to go out at least 2-3 times a day. (Also, they'll have my backyard to be out in the open as much as they like, on a very long leash). While you're away, I'll take care of them very well and send you daily updates. You go and enjoy your vacation!
