Vet Tech and Pet CPR Certified!

Pet care experience

Getting to work with dogs is one of my greatest joys in life! Dogs are always so happy and there for you when we need them. I think their selfless attitude is what really inspired me to start sitting, as I just wanted to do what I can to give back to them. As a sitter, I’m proud to help pups in need while giving owners peace of mind! I have lots of experience working with dogs. I actually went to school (Sanford Brown) to become a vet assistant, and learned so much about professional animal care along the way. I am animal CPR certified, and you can be assured that your pooch will be in good hands no matter what. I have also been a long-time volunteer with several dog shelters, so I have lots of experience taking care of dogs that need a little more TLC too! I’ll make sure your pup gets the love and attention they need to thrive. When taking on a new client, I typically like to schedule a meet-and-greet. It’s a great way to make sure that we’re all a good fit for one another, which is so important to me. Likewise, it gives us the opportunity to chat face-to-face about your pup and your care expectations. No one knows your dog better than you do, so it’s always great to chat with owners in person about what makes their pup tick! Finally, I just love meeting new furry pals! I like to get down on their level to show them that I’m a welcome presence here to make friends, and I’m sure we’ll be best buddies in no time at all. I know that no one likes to be away from their best friend for very long, so I’m here to make that time away as easy as possible. Your pup will be in great hands no matter what, and I’m happy to send detailed daily updates so you can be kept in the loop on absolutely everything! From meal prep to exercise times, I’m happy to give you the inside scoop on everything we’ve done that day—all along with pics so you can see just how much fun we’re having together.

Yvonne was great. Simba was not really welcome in the state of Illinois which is sad. But she welcome him with open arms he was happy being there. Thank you for the last minute care for him.

Yvonne kept my fur babies for 2 weeks. We met off the app through a mutual friend and she came highly recommend. I have two dogs one German Shepard and a pit bull terrier, these dogs are a bit energetic for their breed and Ms. Williams knew exactly how to keep them entertained even though she lives in an apartment. She walked them several times a day, took them to the local dog parks and beaches when the weather permitted and made sure they had lots of love care and attention. She made sure to accommodate them as if they were apart of her own family. Yvonne Williams is truly amazing and I would recommend her a thousand times over.

Information Yvonne W. would like to know about your pet

Some things I like to learn ahead of time: - Would you like to schedule a meet-and-greet before the stay? - What’s your preferred method of communication? - Does your pup have any health issues that need to be tended to? For instance, dietary restrictions, medicine, or behavior triggers? - Do you have a vet nearby that you trust? - Is your dog spayed/neutered? - Does your pup like to stick to a given schedule, like regular walks in the morning and evening? - What does your pup do well around? What does your pup try to avoid? - What’s the best way to spoil your pup?

A typical day

There are plenty of great things to do, so pups in my care will have plenty of opportunities to get outside and explore! I love going to the dog park or beach, which are perfect places to meet new friends and stretch our legs out in the sun. My schedule is completely free, so I’m happy to head out and have play time whenever the mood strikes! I love playing fetch and tug-of-war! My apartment also has a big, gated backyard, so we’ll have a nice opportunity to have fun even if we stay local as well. My house is full of dog lovers, too! My husband Miguel helps me now and then with taking care of the pups in our house, and he’s a huge dog lover just like I am. We have four children who are all excited to have new friends over to the house too!
