Hello, my name is Yvonne and I'm a reliable 37 year old woman, that moved from Germany to the US 4 years ago. Prior to me moving here to the USA, I was a dog sitter for about 4 years on a very regular basis for two families which each owned 2 big dogs and while I lived in Westwood/ West Los Angeles I had the regular pleasure to watch my friends two little fur babies. I've been an animal lover all my life and I grew up with lots of animals like 3-4 dogs at a time, of whose care I was solely responsible from age 11 and up (walk, feed, groom), cats, birds, rabbits, a Guinea pig, hamsters and even pigs. Later after finishing school, I turned my passion into my profession, I had a 3 year job training to become a house and shelter animal keeper, which I successfully completed to get my degree as an animal keeper. Up to the time I moved to America, I also worked part time 30h/week as an animal keeper in Germany. Due to my profession I'm very comfortable with giving oral medication and taking care of older dogs needs. During my training I also learned to inject medication. I'm a proud dog owner of a beautiful young Wheaten Terrier/ Poodle mix named Fiona. She would be an awesome companion to your dog, she really enjoys playing fetch with her friends. We also enjoy going almost every day, when time allows, to a nearby park to meet our friends and their dogs, play ball and let the dogs run. Or going to the beach. I'm a mom to 3 wonderful kids, my oldest is almost 13 now and 2 littles ones. I would be happy to walk your dog/s or drop in at your home, to care for your pets while you are away. My schedule isn't really set, it depends on my husband, who mostly works from home. He usually watches the little ones most of the time while I'm away, if he has not to go on an appointment. Before I'd care for your dog/ pet, I'd like to have a meet and greet for your dog/s to get to know my dog and me and to discuss all your pets needs and any behavior issues. I live in San Pedro (90732) and would like to walk your dog in that area and close-by cities. Thank you for your interest in my profile and I hope to meet your dog and you soon. :)
