We take ADVENTURES, not just walks!
Pet care experience
I've had dogs all of my life and have 8 rescue animals. 3 years ago I worked with a professional dog trainer learning basic obedience for my reactive dog, my other dog and I took the CGC and TDI tests and now we're a therapy team and visit nursing homes. I take my dogs hiking at least 3 times a week and would love to spend my free time sharing adventures and/or training with your babies too!
Reviews
Vicky is caring, honest, thorough, prompt, professional, and she stayed in contact with me, and sent pictures everyday. My critters and I love her!! ?
Vicky is very prompt, reliable, trustworthy and will update me when I’m out of town which is always comforting. I don’t know what we would do without her! I love how she pays attention to detail and communicate with us through everything . She makes sure to provide all the necessities and much more: From learning their daily routine down to the medications. I never worry a minute while i’m out of town because she had everything under control. She always takes them on long hikes and they are exhausted by the time I get them back. It’s always a nice experience dealing with Vicky. Definitely recommend!!!!!
Vicky has been rescuing animals since she was child and continues to do it to this day. Most recently taking in 2 dogs and another cat. She puts all of her energy and time into her fur babies. She will care for your babies just like she does her own. Vicky has been our go to walks and drop-ins. The boys absolutely love her and their walk/play dates. We have absolutely nothing but the best to say about her. If you are looking for someone to give your dog/cat the best care Vicky IS your person. She has definitely became part of the family. My heeler and poodle LOVE her.
I have known Vicky for years and she is the most amazing and talented person I know with animals. She has been training animals all her life. You could not find a more responsible and loving person to care for your babies. She will love them like her own.

Safety, trust & environment
My dogs (5) have been trained to listen to my verbal commands but sometimes like to see what they can get away with! They are all inside couch potatoes but love their 5.5 acre backyard and all the trails close by we explore.
Information Vicky M. would like to know about your pet
Special needs, medical problems such as breathing issues, hip/knee issues, etc. also if they are reactive to dogs or other people, car riding skills, allergies! If you have a high energy pup that likes running, would rather go to the lake and swim rather than walk or maybe head out on the town for a puppacino and shopping spree (with mom/dads card of course) let me know! I want to make YOUR pup happy so let me know what they enjoy, what they dislike, and if they need extra attention with any commands
A typical day
We walk our 5.5 acres a lot, we're within 10 minutes of gamelands and a national park so we hike different trails weekly. They have many indoor and outdoor toys and a pool they love laying in. They also have brain games and lock mats for after daylight!
Services
Vicky can watch in your home
Availability
I work full time M-F but would love to take your pup on an adventure early mornings before 8 or afternoons after 5 and anytime during the weekend! I can also provide lunch time drop-ins to make sure your pup has a mid day break!
