Pet care experience
Meet Pippi, the friendliest and playfulest aussie! She reallys loves other dogs and as a single dog, it is hard for her to get tired. It takes mom multiple trips to the dog park, beach, and trail. Please come over and play with her! We will play all day in our big fenced yard and stay at home mom will still take at LEAST one trip to the dog park or other safe venue. Please hurry, Pippi is waiting for you. I have had dogs (aussies and malemutes) for over 40 years. I really love them and give them constant attention. As a new stay at home mom, I need some additional dogs in my life. I go to the dog park daily to get my dog fix, but how much fun it would be to have them at my house. Please give me a call, I'd love to meet your dog! We are near seatac airport, perfect for your dog to ave a fun vacation while you travel.
Reviews
Kasha had the best time staying with Vickie and her pups!
Vickie always takes good care of Bosco, taking him into her home like he's her own pup. Bosco and Vickie's Aussies get along well and play all day long. Vickie always sends lots of updates with photos and videos.
Vickie and Gregg were very nice and kept our 2 dogs safe for a weekend stay. There were more dogs at the home than we’d expected, which excited some habits in ours we’ve been trying to discourage. So that was disappointing. But our dogs did get their energy out and were given naps and play time, separate feedings, and even some lap cuddles at night which were all appreciated. Vickie also sent photo and video updates often which was great.
Vicky was amazing! Her communication and videos set my mind at ease. My dog had a blast with the other guests- it was like an all weekend slumber girl party! I felt very grateful and confident in her care because Vicky has it handled !

Safety, trust & environment
For sleep overs, I'd feel better about using a crate (8 hours max). My dog does not use her crate to sleep at home since I know she wont get into trouble while I am sleeping (as she is right on the foot of my bed). I will do all the things you normally do with your dog from brushing teeth to clipping nails to giving medicine. Just let me know your dogs normal routine and I will follow it. My yard is securely fenced and my very clever aussie has never escaped. Your dog will be safe, loved, and VERY tired. A tired dog is a happy dog!

Information Vickie C. would like to know about your pet
Any allergies or other health conditions. I'm happy to give medicine or other custom care. I'll need contact info for your vet (just in case). I will also need some of the food or treats that you want me to feed them during their stay. I'd also like to know if they have any fears or other behavioral problems. I will accomodate! Pippi is insanely friendly, but will bark to induce your dog to play. She jumps, lands, rolls over the other dogs in vigorous play. It might be too much for a timid or very small dog. However if your baby is up for it....bring it on! The same rule holds for the dog park. We go in the big dog areas so if your dog is skittish we can skip the dog park.
A typical day
We are located in Burien, near Seahurst Beach and two fun dog parks. I do daily outing to these places and will take your little guy if you choose (and if he/she has good recall). Even without the solid recall they could go to the fenced dog parks if you like. I love to play fetch and chase in the backyard. I also enjoy having training sessions with dogs to enhance bonding with me. They love the confidence they earn by learning a new tasks. My little dog Pippi will wrestle, chase, and lead your dog to chase her. They will have a blast.
