Auntie Vic to the rescue!🙋‍♀️

Pet care experience

New to Rover, not to living with fur babies! Our pet family started almost by accident. Dark night, middle of busy intersection, an elderly dog was trying to navigate traffic. No tags, hungry and mostly blind. My husband and I were able to get him into car. We took him home, fed the little guy, cleaned him up, named him Charlie. He changed our lives. Since then, we’ve been blessed us with a number of dogs and cats throughout the years. Some have not been healthy and needed care and some are just seniors! Each one has brought us joy.

Vicki is THE best! She was so attentive to Remi and her communication was perfect! She went above and beyond to make sure Remi felt safe, secure and loved. We will definitely be using Vicki again!!!

Vicki is the best! She treats our pup like her own and cares deeply about all the pets in her care. She’s responsive, accommodating, and gives frequent updates a well. We’re happy to have someone we can trust with our fur child. Thanks Auntie Vic!

Vicki did incredible!! I immediately felt comfortable leaving my little baby Kano with her! She sent update photos and took him on walks and communicated with me so well! 10/10 would recommend using her. Will be using her again!!

Snuggle? Note: sleeping with your baby is possible, can be discussed. Their safety is the consideration.

Information Vicki N. would like to know about your pet

Every dog is unique, you know what they like and dislike, let’s share what I need to know. “Special needs” need not be a problem. We have enclosed covered patio for dog exercise and roaming as needed during day and in challenging weather conditions in place of walking. Their comfort and your piece of mind is my main objective.

A typical day

I love to interact with animals big and small. First sensing their comfort level, speaking softly, then drawing them into playful communication. We toss toys, get a tummy rub, walk and look for squirrels!

After many years as interior designer, retired to part time this past September 2024. Now, to pursue hobbies and life’s next adventure! My schedule is built on the value I can bring to folks that need pet care, just like Gary and I have needed for our pets over the years. You should be able to have the personal freedom you need and not worry about your precious fur babies. They will be secure in my care. Expect pics to put your mind at ease!
