My flexible work schedule allows me to be fully present for your dog throughout the day. I’m home at lunch to check on them, provide fresh water, a potty break, and some midday love. I’m back by 5pm every evening to give dedicated time for dinner, exercise (walk or backyard), playtime, and plenty of affection. Your dog will never feel like an afterthought — they’ll be part of my daily rhythm with consistent meals, potty breaks, exercise, and snuggle time. I keep a calm, predictable routine that most small dogs thrive on, while still giving them the individual attention they need.

Safety, trust & environment

Your dog’s safety and happiness are my top priorities. I only accept 1 dog at a time, which means a quiet, low-stress environment with no overwhelming noise or rough play from larger dogs. My home is clean, dog-proofed, and set up with cozy beds, safe toys, and a secure fenced yard for supervised outdoor time. I build trust through clear communication, daily photo/text updates, and full transparency. You can rest easy knowing your dog is in a loving, experienced home where they’ll be treated like part of the family — never just “boarded.” I’m fully committed to providing the safe, affectionate, and attentive care I would want for my own dogs.

Pet care experience

I’ve been a dog parent my entire life and truly understand how much your dog means to you. From puppies to seniors, I’ve cared for dogs of all ages and personalities. I’m patient, attentive, and skilled at reading canine body language, which helps me keep every dog feeling safe and comfortable. I specialize in providing calm, personalized care for small-medium dogs. Whether your dog is energetic, shy, a picky eater, or loves extra cuddles, I create a low-stress environment tailored to their needs. I focus on one dog at a time so your pup gets the individual attention they deserve without the chaos of large-group boarding. A meet & greet is required for all new clients to reduce stress to your pet. Last minute bookings are not excepted unless you are a repeat client.

Vicki was a blessing with accommodating a short notice booking. Tug is rambunctious and she was great with him. I would recommend Vicki to anyone. Thank you!

Vicki took great care of my fur baby. Plus very quick with communication. And sent updates the whole week with pictures.

Vicky loves animals! She is a conscientious worker who shows up on time. She is loving to her own pets. I would never hesitate to trust her with mine.
