Wagging tales on the trails!

Pet care experience

I have owned dogs & cats over 20 plus years. I have trained puppies basic commands, babysat walked & cared for friends and neighbors dogs. I recently retired from 37 years service & I am available to walk play sit your pets throughout the week, weekends I can schedule at request. I would prefer to come to the customers home & sit with your pet and walk play and give extra love and take to parks. I would like to offer a meet and greet however with the increasing gas prices I will be charging a small fee to do this... fee would depend on the location and not to exceed $15.00 if agreed prior to.

Catherine (Vickie) was great! We were visiting Florida and needed a sitter for Teddy, our mini golden doodle, while we attended an afternoon event. They had a wonderful day together! Vickie is so loving and caring with Teddy, we wish we lived closer! We'll definitely book again when we're back in the area! Thanks Vickie!

Vickie is the Best! That is all I can say. She watched our yellow lab Lizzy for a week while we we in Florida, She kept us informed everyday about how Lizzy was doing. She must have played with Lizzy from morning to night. Lizzy was so sad to see her leave. We will definitely have Vickie come to stay the next time we need a dog sitter. Very responsible, trustworthy, kind and caring. She really needs more that just 5 stars. If you need a pet sitter you need Vickie! You can not go wrong. Thanks Vickie for your awesome help this past week! Fred, Mary and Lizzy!!

Vickie has had many animals in her life and have given them loving homes. She is great with them and gives them lots of love. She will be an amazing dog walker. She knows cpr on animals in case anything were to happen. I am a vet tech and can vouch for her.

Rover.com I have known Catherine (Vickie) for the past six years as a neighbor and a friend. She owned a Golden Retriever named Bailey to whom she was very much attached. Bailey was a very well behaved dog and Vickie ensured that she followed neighborhood guidelines and local animal laws. My husband and I enjoyed the company of his fine temperament. We saw this as a testament that Vickie took good care of her dog, walking, playing and training him before he passed on. As neighbors, Vickie and I looked after each other and assisted sitting each other’s pets. She cared for our animals while we were on vacation. Vickie shows great love and compassion for all animals. Vickie shows nothing but kindness for animals in her care. She is personable, professional and trustworthy. I am certain you will be satisfied with the work that Vickie can provide to your company and your clients.
