Trustworthy Animal Lover!
Pet care experience
For me life would not be complete without a pet in the home. I have cared for a dog since before I was a teenager! Currently, I have 1 dog, a 12-year-old lab. Who is in no position to go for walks due to age and a torn ACL injury so walks will be just me and your dog(s). I have always wanted to work with animals and this is how I do that! I would love to check in while you can't be home to make sure the animal(s) are happy and carried for. Ball throwing or cuddles included! I am happy to take your dog(s) for a walk around your neighborhood as well. I have had 2 labs who PULL and one who "appears" dog aggressive so I can handle anything your baby throws my way! I have personally trained 3 dogs (2 from puppy, 1 from 6 months) not only to walk in a heel position but an array of other behaviours as well, including doing their "business" before a walk!!! I am happy to share with you and yours too! If you require a stay at my home my kids (9 & 11) are sure to help your pup burn some energy and enjoy extra cuddles.
Reviews
Mandy is great with my dog! Would recommend her to everyone. She always leaves a detailed review and is super patient with my rescue dog :)
Mandy is great! She has walked my dog twice now and always leaves a detailed report card. She’s very accommodating and was able to take my dog for a walk with only 1 days notice. I recommend Mandy to everyone :)
Mandy was great with my nervous rescue dog. She also sent a great picture of Jo on her walk. I will definitely go to Mandy again to walk Jo if she’s available. Would recommend her to walk your dog?
Mandy is professional, friendly, trustworthy, and great with our dog. I'll definitely be a repeat customer. 5/5 stars.

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I truly see animals as family members. They deserve to be treated the same as if you left your human child in my care. With the utmost care and respect and by following your directions for their needs!
Information Mandy V. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your pet has any special needs or triggers so that I can be mindful of those when they are in my care. I want them to be as happy and comfortable as possible!
A typical day
If spending the whole day with us. We start early in the morning with walking the kids to school. Once back home if there is energy left, a good ball throw in the fenced back yard is always fun. We spend the day around the house doing what needs done, until it's school pick up time and another fun walk! Play time of course happens once the kids are home and if dinner is required they eat after us.
