Pet care experience

I have owned pets since I can remember. I have had multiple pets at a time for most of my life. I currently have 4 dogs (3 giant breeds + 1 medium breed) and 2 cats. I have trained all my dogs basic commands (sit, stay, come, no, etc.) and beyond (stay until allowed to leave a room, wait for name to be called to eat, drop things they’re not supposed to be getting into, etc.). I have raised a litter of 9 giant breed puppies. I believe that dogs are part of the family and should be treated as such. I have had all my dogs until their passing of old age or illness. I love my animals as they are my children. My dogs are exercised daily on my 10+ acre property and have their own fenced in dog park. Your pets will become part of my family too if you choose to let me care for them. If your pet needs their own area I have a finished basement that they can be segregated from my dogs, this is where my cats live and are living their best country life.

Took great care of Ruddi! He got along great with the other dogs and loved all the open running area. Sent lots of pictures and videos to keep me updated. Highly recommend Yvette.

Jackson, our 35 pound Arubian Cunucu was welcomed into Yvette's home as another family member. Yvette's 10 acre property is like her own personal dog park - some fenced, more unfenced. Yvette's giant dogs are gentle giants. From daily videos Yvette sent us, we could see that Jackson was interacting well with all of the dogs and having especially fun playful times with the youngest of the giants. They played very well together despite Jackson being less than 1/3rd the size of Blue. They clearly became great play mates and I'm sure are missing each other. I bet they will be excited when they see each other again. When we are next in need of care for Jackson, we will re-book with Yvette.

Yvette made sure Levi was made to feel like part of her dog family. All the photos and videos she sent us showed he was happy and engaged in play time with her 4 dogs. We would definitely have Levi stay with Yvette again.

Yvette was great with Levi. Levi was well taken care of and taken on walks. Yvette sent photos that we loved. We will definitely have Levi stay with Yvette again in a week or so.

Information Yvette W. would like to know about your pet

Are they good with other animals? Are they house broken? Do they have any special needs? How much exercise do they require? Do they have any allergies?

A typical day

I like to walk around the property and explore with the dogs, love to just chill and relax with them in the house. Enjoy playing fetch and training basic commands. I have multiple cat trees for cats inside the finished basement along with tons of stimulating toys to play with to keep them busy.
