Virginia
Walks with V
Amsterdam
Over Virginia
Do you have a high energy dog that is tearing up your apartment?
Is it gross and rainy outside?
Do you live in Oost?
Then hire me for Walks with V!
Dog Walk: 1hour-1.5 hour, 20 Euros
We’ll head out for an adventure at Flevo, Oosterpark, or
another nearby green space and play games, practice tricks, and go on sniffaris.
You’ll hand me a bundle of energy, and I’ll bring you back a dog ready to
cuddle up with their favorite human.
In home visit: 30 minutes-1hour, 15 Euros
If it’s too stormy for a proper outdoor adventure, then we
can go for a quick potty break and an indoor play session with tug-of-war, hide
and seek, and many other fun indoor games. Rainy days are the perfect days to
really practice impulse control and patience.
About Me
I’m 33 years old former corporate sales trainer from the south
east of the United States. My wife’s work moved us to Hamburg, Germany in 2019 and
then again to Amsterdam in 2021. I’ve mostly been working in tourism and
hospitality since relocating, but I am exhausted with extroverted jobs and would
really prefer to hang out with your dog. My primary passions are writing poetry
and creating visual art.
My greatest recommendations are my own dogs.
Millie, 3 year old spaniel mix who is named after the sustainable, renewable,
endless energy of a windmill. She loves treats and chasing birds, 99% of the
time in that order. If you’ve seen a bright orange jacket in Flevopark, that’s probably
us!
And Merlin, a collie-mix who has since crossed the rainbow
bridge. But that dog never met a puzzle he couldn’t solve or a fence he couldn’t
escape.
I’ve walked dogs/dog sat for friends and neighbors all my
life. Sometimes for money, sometimes as a favor. I use ONLY positive reinforcement/relationship
building techniques when teaching new tricks. I would love to hear what you’d
like us to work on! My basic dog ownership philosophy is a tired dog is a happy
dog.
If you think your dog would enjoy a Walk with V, send me a
message!
