Pet care experience

Hello All! ***My rates are negotiable*** Its hard to set a standard rate for all customers - Rover applies to same service radius to vastly different services. 100% of my clients receive pictures regardless of the website # because I'll often text them directly to you rather than through the website. I used to dogsit for a few elderly dogs, many with illnesses, and administer lots of pills and liquid medicine as well as the occasional insulin shot. I love all dogs regardless of all their quirks. I only do not accept dogs with aggression or behavioral issues. Check out my reviews and testimonials!

Vicki was so sweet and attentive to our maltipoo Arlo. She was so great at communicating with me everyday texting me updates every day with photos. This was my first time using rover and first time leaving my 9 month old pup. Who is very attached to me and I was very worried about leaving him but Vicki made our trip so much more relaxing with constant communication. When we picked Arlo up I knew he had a great time because even though we were there to pick him up he was still looking for and jumping on Vicki and licking her. Thank you so much we will definitely be booking another stay for Arlo in the future.

Vicki was wonderful! Very attentive to our dogs and kept us posted via text messages and pictures. It was our first stay with her and will definitely use her again in the future.

Vickie is very sweet & very helpful. Since weather was very bad, she came to my house to pick up Danny’s stuff the day before. She sent photos and updates and kept me apprised of how Danny was doing.

Information Vicki R. would like to know about your pet

I love and welcome all breeds and sizes of dogs! I just require that your dog not have aggressive tendencies. Please inform me beforehand of any medical conditions or special needs, their diet/feeding schedule and any bathroom habits, what motivates him/her and what they dislike, how they get along with others and their general behavior and quirks. If your dogs has never been apart from you, please let me know this. Please ensure your dog has received the proper shots and flea repellent.

A typical day

The area around me has tons of trees and parks as well as other friendly pups. I will be sure to keep a strong hold on your dogs leash when outside and would not risk taking them out without their leash unless in a fenced area. Fetch will be played as well as tug o war! Lots of hugs and cuddles to go around - anything to make your dog happy! Please bring with your dog enough of their food to cover their stay and a little extra in case of delays. Bring any medicine they may need (extra pills in case), their bed if they have one, their toys and treats as well as. If its best that your dog stay in an area like the kitchen, please provide a gate and I will make them comfy in there with blankets and toys. Same goes for crate training.

I work from home which gives me a little extra time during the day. I like to take myself on long walks so it would b my pleasure to bring along a furry friend or two. Dog sitting enables me to have the company of loving dogs and the freedom of making my own schedule with them (I like to travel too!) Being able to earn additional income while being home has been a great benefit.
