A lot of love and care. Spoiled
Pet care experience
Hi, *I can pet sit cats in a private room. One owner at a time. They enjoy looking out the window watching the birds. Up to 3 dogs from the same owner. Not multiple dogs from different owners as it appears in my bio* (Always Available to board small pets that require a cage or aquarium. Discount for tiny pets. I will adjust the fee) I have 40 plus years of experience with all different types of animals. Dogs, Cats, Reptiles, Birds, Rodents, Fish, Horses. Rescued, administered meds, bottle fed, bathed, senior care. I have worked with a Veterinarian. Experience with Gastrointestinal, Kidney Disease, IVDD, Puppy training, blind and deaf. I understand the stress of boarding for you and your pets. They will feel loved. They'll be spoiled. If they are a snuggle bug, I'm going to be on the couch with them and watch a lot of TV. If they like to play, I'm going to be throwing balls for fetching. Whatever I can do to make them comfortable and feel loved, I'm going to be here for them. I'll send video and a lot of pictures while you're away. I can board pets under 15 lbs. There is an exception. I can't board big dogs. Some dogs weigh more that 15 lbs but they are short. Not considered a big dog. Any size pet when making home visits. I have a spare room that's quiet. Perfect for cats, birds and any other pet that needs privacy. I'm in there throughout the day talking to them, giving them attention and feeding them fresh food and water or cleaning cages and litter boxes. I do not mix pets from different families together for safety reasons. Do you have more than 1 pet? That's okay. They will stay together. No other pets will be boarded with them. I do pet sit puppies and kittens. Flexible rate if they are older and potty trained. I look forward to pet sitting for you.
Reviews
Where do I begin? I believe Vicki is the dog whisperer. My little puppy is only 2 months old and quite a handful. Vicki took such good care of her. Sent pictures to let me know how they were doing and my Miss Sally LOVED her. Thank you Vicki for your wonderful caring spirit. You are the best!!
Vicki is the best! She gave my kittens tons of attention and sent me pictures and videos every day. I could tell they liked being at her house.
Vicki is hands down the best dog sitter I have ever used!!!! My only concern was that my sweet puppy was so happy she wouldn't want to come home! Vicki is such a warm, sweet person and her love of animals and dedication to her clients immediately evident. This was our first time leaving our new puppy with someone and I just wasn't sure how she would do. Vicki was so sweet and reassuring. She was careful to listen to all the details of our routine. She went above and beyond to make sure our sweet dog was loved and made to feel at home with her. She is an excellent communicator and her texts, pictures, and videos made the whole experience absolutely wonderful! I cannot recommend her highly enough. Thank you Vicki! You are an answer to my prayers.
Vicki is the best!!! She is so kind, generous, gentle, supportive, loving, & such an anxiety-easing sitter!! She watched my Daisy dog for 5 days and kept me updated each day with photos, videos, & texts throughout the day. Even accommadated special requests. My dog absolutely adored Vicki & her hospitality & home!! 100% recommend & would rebook!! She is great & a gem of a sitter. So attentive & caring! Love her!! 💖

If your pet needs special care or constant attention, I'm here for them. Fireworks, fear, I'm right with them. I play meditation music for relaxing and calming. It really helps. I'm very protective when they are outdoors. They are never left alone outside. I take them out on a leash at first. Please bring yours. If they do well and I'm comfortable, I'll let them roam free in the back yard. I'm two steps behind though. My fence is good. No broken boards or holes. I take my responsibility and your trust in me seriously. I follow all special request, schedules, needs and requirements. They are always supervised inside and outside. Bring toys, bedding, leash with harness or collar, potty pads for any accidents, kennel if they sleep in one, food of course. Pack up a suitcase, I don't mind at all. Home visits, I really go all out for the time I'm there. Special attention for them. I can water plants, rotate lights, pick up mail. Just ask me if you'd like for me to do some other things while I'm there. No extra charge for feeding and providing water for outside cats when visiting. I have to account for a little gas money in my fee. It adds up when making home visits. Since I pet sit close to home, I can make as many visits as you need.

A typical day
We will play ball and any other activity they enjoy. Saftey is #1. Please let me know anything that may startle them. We'll play in the back yard. A typical day is talking to them, potty first thing, breakfast, fresh water, potty, clean up after them, loving on them, playing, holding them, nap on the couch beside me. They are never ignored. When boarding I do not take them for walks. I do not take them anywhere. I feel they are safer with me in my home or my back yard. Home Visits, I do walk them if you request because this is their routine.

Pet care is my routine and priority. I do have small senior pets that sleep most of the time. Nearly blind and deaf. They are separated. Honestly, they won't know yours are here. It's already my routine to take care of pets. I'm right here with them. I care for yours the way I'd expect mine to be cared for and loved.
