Highlights
Pet care experience
Compassionate, Dependable Pet Care
I've been caring for pets for most of my life, both my own and those of others! I also worked as a pet care associate at a pet resort, where I took care of a wide variety of animals, making sure they received all the love and attention they deserved. From feeding and walking to cleaning up after them, I’m experienced in meeting the needs of pets of all kinds!
Cat care experience

Safety, trust & environment
I really enjoy spending quality time with pets, giving them lots of playtime, love, and attention. I believe that pet owners know their pets best, so I always make sure to follow any routines or guidelines provided to ensure they feel comfortable and happy! I also know how important it is to keep your home safe and clean. I will make sure to cleanup regularly, lock all doors, Pet gates, and any other requests you give in order to keep your home the way you left it!
Ratings and reviews
Took great care of my pets- absolutely spoiled them! Sent cute pictures while we were away and left the house cleaner than when she got there. We look forward to having her sit for us in the future.
Yvonne was wonderful! She was flexible with timing, kept my house spotless, and most importantly, my pets were happy and well cared for. She even surprised me with a sweet drawing of my pets, which really made her stand out as a top-notch sitter. Highly recommend!
Yvonne is frequently taking care of my 2 cats. She loves pets, but mostly cats. She’s very attentive and really cares. She doesn’t just feed them and clean the litter, she brushes their fur and talks to them, plays with them, pets them. She always pays attention to the age differences to provide different food quantities, brands, and meal consistency to my cats. She’s careful with medication to blend every single spec into the food, so that the right cat eats it. Yvonne is a wonderful pet sitter!
I know Yvie to love and cherish not just her own pets, but any animals she's worked with. She has professional experience with dogs from working at a pet resort, along with plenty of experience with cats from having lived with them her whole life, including extended periods of being the sole caretaker of them. As a warning: Yvie will give your pets silly nicknames and possibly even speak to them in a baby voice, only let this woman near your pets if you accept that they will receive all the adoration in the world.
