Avid animal lover, pro pet spoiler.

Pet care experience

If my husband would let me, I’d buy a zoo (come on powerball). I’ve loved animals for as long as I can remember. I’ve never met a pet that I didn’t want to spoil and cuddle. My daughter calls me a “stay at home pet mom”. Most days I’m home all day, with the exception of an occasional errand, appointment or maybe a date night. Recently our 13 year old Staffordshire terrier/boxer- Zoey, went to doggie Heaven. She was a gentle soul who we miss immensely. We have 3 kitties who are like my tiny babies- all very spoiled. Bam, who loves walking all the pups, and Pumpkin, and Elsa. All three are rescues. Basically I’m their “do-girl”. They all know how to talk me into extra treats. I have had to administer meds in the past and don’t mind doing so.

amazing sitter for my very nervous dog and playful kitty. She was so patient and kind with them. She responded so fast and kept me updated! Would definitely use her services again.

Information Vicki L. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog or cat has any special needs, or special behavior I should look for that way I can try to plan and adjust accordingly. I have administered meds on numerous occasions and I’m comfortable doing so.

A typical day

Daily walks through our subdivisions exploring and smelling for new creatures, it’s not uncommon to see geese, deer, other neighbors walking their dogs, and kids playing outside. Also, we have stairs inside leading to the basement, one of our dogs favorite game is for us to toss the ball down the stairs so she can chase it and bring it back. Up the stairs, down the stairs, up the stair… We have a local dog park a short ride from our house and if that’s something your sweet baby loves I don’t mind taking them.
