Why send your dog somewhere else when they can have the best DOGCATION ever with me at Vicki's Pup Palace!! Home full time to provide your fur baby with lots of love and attention all day & night long. In addition to dog boarding at my home, I am now offering dog walking and drop/in visits. I grew up with samoyeds and used to pet sit in my late teens through my early 30’s. My favorite client was Coco the monkey! He was awesome and a lot of fun to care for. Now that I work from home, we took the plunge and got a dog of our own. I love taking her on walks and playing with her throughout the day. She is a people lover and hasn’t met a dog she doesn’t want to play with. Your pup is sure to be treated like royalty in my care with lots of love, attention. and play time. Working from home allows me the flexibility to take your fur baby on potty breaks and walks throughout the day and provide your fur baby with all the love and attention s/he needs. Who wants to be cooped up in a crate all day long at some boarding place? Certainly not my dog and most definitely, not yours! My DOGCATION daily rate includes the following (meaning I don’t charge extra like some places do around town). 🐾 belly rubs 🐾 doggie massages 🐾 playing fetch 🐾 command training 🐾 potty breaks every 4-6 hours or more 🐾 3-4 daily walks (15-20 min each) 🐾 positive behavior reinforcement 🐾 cuddle time 🐾 Safe socialization w/neighborhood pups 🐾 medication administration 🐾 lots of doggie photos 🐾 daily updates FROM your pooch ❤️ Hope to make your fur baby’s next DOGCATION their best DOGCATION ever!! Please contact me to see if I’m available. ❤️🐶❤️🐶❤️🐶❤️🐶❤️🐶 Typical DOGCATION Schedule (will be modified based on your dogs normal routine and if they have any special needs): 6:30/7:00 am - Up and at 'em! Potty break in the front yard then breakfast 7:30 am - a stroll around the neighborhood taking in all the new smells. This is typically a 30 minute SNIFFING walk (1 mile approximately). We aren't in it to win the race so it's a slow stroll. Why a sniffing walk? Dogs need mental stimulation and enrichment that can help increase their focus so I let them lead me rather than me leading them. This is just as important as physical exercise so I never skip this step. And, it wears them out just as much as a brisk walk. A tired dog is a happy dog! 10:30 am - potty break or just some fresh air on the back deck or front yard 12:00 pm - Exercise! 2nd walk where I lead them for half the time and they lead me (sniffing walk) the other half of the time. Typically 15-20 minutes 3:00 pm - play time, potty time 5:00 pm - dinner time 6:00/6:30 pm - Evening walk - mostly me leading them to get in a good workout but I do let them sniff around so they can find a good spot to do #2 then I pick up the pace and keep them moving throughout the neighborhood. Typically 20-30 minutes 9:00 pm - quick walk around the cul de sac/front of house to potty before bedtime NOTE: If you have a senior dog or a dog with injuries or sensitivities or it's just too dang hot/cold out, walking routines will be adjusted. Throughout the day, your fur baby is either with me in my office or in the living room chilling out. I take lots of breaks during the day to stretch and move around which means your pooch gets lots of hugs, belly rubs and playtime in between all the the other activities. For your dogs protection when we have deliveries, they will go into the front room with glass doors closed so they do not escape when answering the door. Dogs are never on a walk/outside without being on a leash unless they are on the back deck which is gated and secure. They always have fresh water when on the deck and can be in the sun or shade (we have a big umbrella). I take great care to keep your dogs protected and safe!
