Pet care experience

Volunteered at animal shelter (6yr)

Hi there! I'm Vicki, and I adore all kinds of animals. I've actually spent about 6 years volunteering at a shelter because I love being around furry friends so much! I also have 2 sweet little Shih Tzus named Oliver and Poppy, as well as a 5-year-old daughter who loves pets too. I watch animals full time so your small-to-medium-sized dog will have company and i have a flexible schedule. I even have a dog door and a yard for them to play in. I'd be honored to help out fellow pet owners who need a safe and trustworthy place for their furry companion to stay while they're away. Please keep in mind that I only watch small-to-medium-sized breeds, and I typically watch between 2-8 dogs at a time. Most of my clients are repeat customers.

Chocoletta love staying with Vicki . Chocoletta is an only fur baby so she gets a lot of attention at home. Vicki and Kennedy were able to give her the attention she needed . Chocoletta came home well adjusted. We will be hopefully using Vicki again soon and I will recommend her to all my friends. In Gratitude❤️Maree

I highly recommend Vicki anyone looking for an awesome pet sitter. In the past I've always felt so anxious and guilty about leaving our 2 little ones, Zoey & Kona, whenever we went on vacation. But now that I know they are with Vicki, I can relax and enjoy my trip! She's a great communicator, very professional and knowledgeable. She provides a very safe environment including a nice dog friendly yard w/doggie door. Vicki sends pictures, videos and updates every day and we can see that Zoey & Kona are being cared for as though they were her own. Her daughter is so sweet and my Kona is obsessed with her! Her shih tzu Oliver is a calm and gentle little sweetheart. We definitely have found our go to pet sitter!

We were so impressed with all aspects of Vicki’s care for Brom. We were so comforted with the pictures and videos we received each day - sometimes two in the day. It is so obvious that Vicki knows and loves animals. We highly recommend Vicki to provide your pet with care and attention and love!

Our dog has a current medical condition. It was so nice to be able to leave her with an experienced, caring sitter when we had to go out of town for several days. Vicki listened to our instructions and took wonderful care of our pup!

Safety, trust & environment

Fully fenced-in block wall yard with grass for the pups! Small-to-medium-sized dog door. I will send text and picture updates of all the cuddles and fun we will be having. To give added peace of mind, I will also have your dog wear an Apple AirTag on their collar, so when I am not home, I can check in and know they are safe!

Pets

A typical day

My typical day starts with waking up and sipping on some delicious coffee in my beautiful backyard while throwing the ball for my adorable dogs Oliver & Poppy. Once my daughter is dropped off at daycare, I dive right into walks and pet visits. My evenings are filled with whipping up a scrumptious dinner, playing with the pups and my little girl, and snuggling on the couch for some much-needed relaxation before bedtime. There's nothing quite like spending quality time with the ones you love, furry or not!

If your pet has any special needs, I am very comfortable with dogs and have volunteered in a shelter for years. I am more than happy to administer any necessary medications or accommodate any special needs they may have.
