Experienced, loving pet care

Pet care experience

I am have been a pet owner or had pets in my life my entire life. My fur babies mean the world to me and I know yours do to you as well! That is why I will strive to provide the same high quality, loving care that I would expect for my own pets. Over the years, I have owned dogs, cats, horses, hamsters, rats, tortoises, lizards, and snakes. I currently have 2 loving dogs named Thelma and Louise and a cat named Izzy. I have 10 years of experience as a veterinary technician in both general practice and emergency medicine. Although it has been awhile since I worked in the field (I am now a high school teacher), I am still confident in providing both oral and subcutaneous (injectable) medications. I also have several years of house sitting services and am happy to give your pets all the love while you are away, while also taking care of things like watering plants, getting mail, etc. I am currently only available to stay over nights on the weekends, but will happily do multiple visits and spend time loving on and exercising your pets during the week.

Her reliability and trustworthiness make her a true asset to any pet owner seeking top-notch care for their furry family members.

I cannot recommend Vicki highly enough for her outstanding service as a dog walker on Rover. From the moment I entrusted her with the care of my beloved fur baby, Bruce, it was evident that she wasn't just a dog walker but a true companion to my pet. Vicki consistently went above and beyond to ensure the well-being and happiness of my dog. Her professionalism and reliability were unmatched, always arriving promptly and ready to take my dog on their daily adventures. I never had to worry about the quality of care my pet received under her watchful eye. Overall, Vicki exceeded my expectations in every way possible. She provided not just a service but a relationship built on trust, compassion, and genuine care for my pet. Thanks to Vicki, I have found a reliable and trustworthy dog walker whom I wholeheartedly trust with the well-being of my furry family member. If you're searching for a dog walker who will treat your pet with the same love and devotion as you do, look no further than Vicki on Rover. She is simply the best!
