Pet care experience
Do you need someone with a flexible schedule who will love and care for your dog (or kitty) the way you do? Specific needs? Is your dog a bundle of energy who needs multiple hour-long walks per day? Im the sitter for you! I'm a UC Berkeley graduate transplanted to Mount Pleasant, Carolina Park and I cannot wait to explore this new neighborhood with your pup! **NOTE: Rover says only 10% of my clients receive photos because I often send photos to my clients personal numbers due to the fact that Rover’s picture/video messages rarely get delivered. Have no fear - EVERYBODY gets photos multiple times a day during my stay with your pup! *** I’m anxious to share my love with your pets! I lost my furry pal/best friend in life (see cover photo) almost two years ago and it is the first time in my life I haven’t had a pet. It’s a strange feeling, but I’m thankful for the fulfilling & deeply rewarding experience of caring for your pets as if they were my own. Having recently moved to Mount Pleasant, I love exploring this new neighborhood. Your pup and I will both enjoy our long strolls through this beautiful neighborhood. I am comfortable with dogs of all breeds, size, and age. I have owned many "high maintenance" dogs in my life and I am confident with any special needs your pet may have ranging from IV medication to CPR. I understand how important our pets are to us and I am eager to show my love and compassion for them! Bonus: My car has a Kurgo zipline doggy seatbelt and “hammock” to keep your pal safe on our adventures together.
Reviews
Yvonne was fantastic! She stayed with our hounds while we had a long weekend away and she kept us informed the whole time of how things were going. When we came home our dogs and home were all clearly well cared for. Most importantly our pups loved her and were happy when we got home. We definitely hope to have Yvonne watch them again in the future.
Yvonne was fantastic with our boys! She stayed at our apartment with them while we were away for a week (the longest our puppy has been without us) and sent plenty of updates/was easy to get in touch with. Our boys were so happy with her love and attention! This is the first time that I have truly not felt poorly about leaving my pups behind…made our vacation a true getaway :)
Yvonne was great! She stayed 3 nights with my bunch and our shy rescue dog warmed up to her immediately. Yvonne sent pictures daily and everyone looked very happy. Would love to have Yvonne stay again.
Yvonne was great with my two pups! She kept me updated every day and asked questions when needed. One of my pups is slow to warm up, but she spent the time and they became buddies :) We will definitely use Yvonne again!
About Yvonne V.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
My yard is fully fenced in - can accommodate small dogs without escaping - and I offer daily walks of up to two hours (depending on weather and your preference of course).
Information Yvonne V. would like to know about your pet
Certainly any sort of medications or ongoing health issues. "Triggers" ie; will your pup chase skateboards? Cars? Squirrels/cats? People on bikes? Is he/she reactive to strangers? If I have to put my hand in their mouth to administer medication and/or dislodge a treat, do I run the risk of losing any fingers? All great things to know! :)
A typical day
I love walking! As someone who hails from a small town, I’m used to walking everywhere and going on walks that extends beyond the hour mark is the name of my game. Unless of course it’s too hot! I’m a great tug-o-war partner (gymnast) and I love getting some good playtime in with dogs. I’m a great fetch partner too! I can send that ball flying! I'm not a big fan of dog parks and I like to avoid them. I always found that they stressed my dog out. Having said that, if you tell me your dog simply LOVES the dog park, of course I will oblige your pet!
