Pet care experience
Dogs Love Creativity!
I have always been a "animal person", and have lived with and cared for animals since I can remember - even my first job (as a very young child) was dog sitting for my neighbor's Shih Tzu's. My house has long been a home away from home for many of my friend's canine companions when their people have needed to go out of town or just needed a place to stay and play for the day. I have worked in animal welfare for nearly the past two decades (including companion animal shelters and wildlife rehabilitation), have been a foster care home, and live a vegan lifestyle. I work from home as an artist and photographer (specializing in companion animal and wildlife/nature portraits), jewelry designer/metal smith, and a graphic and web designer. I have found that animals enjoy being around creative energy and tend to congregate around me and relax while I am working on art projects. I live with my adopted animal family – Maggie the American Eskimo who is the shy but doting mother figure of the pack; Rumo the cheeky toothless Chihuahua with a silly grin; and Bailey the Amazon Parrot and art critic in training. I have a large fenced back yard and a very animal friendly house. All animals who stay with me are treated as part of the family and I do my best to make them happy, comfortable, and as stress free as possible.

Ratings and reviews
Vicki is soooooo good with Frannie and Frannie loves going to Vicki's!
Vicki is AMAZING. She was recommended by a neighbor who took their dog to her years ago. She spent a lot of time meeting Frannie (and us), asking lots of thoughtful questions and really "reading" our pup. Frannie comes home from doggie daycare at Vicki's happy, exhausted, and better trained than when we dropped her off lol! Highly recommend Vicki's care for your dog.
Vicki has a relaxed, easy going demeanor which is appreciated by me and Amber. I just saw all the photos she shared and my pup had a great time being athletic and nonstop play with ball and toys!!! Vicki also asked good questions and was flexible with scheduling.
Vicki runs a fabulous doggy daycare. She is so kind and takes such good care of the dogs.
Vicki is always so good to Niko!!
Both of our dogs had a great time with Vicki, despite having very different personalities and needs. We always know they will have fun and be safe and cared for while we're away.
