Pet care experience

DROP-OFF/PICK-UP TIMES: 7:30-9:30 11AM-12:30 and 4PM-6Pm Over the years I have loved and raised many dogs purebred and mixed breeds. I spent more than 30 years boarding and training Hunter and Jumper show horses on a national level, dogs came with us to the horse shows. My horse customers owned dogs as well and would bring them to the horse shows, dog care, and safety became a natural extension of my business. When I retired from the horse business and moved to Florida I thought about opening a bed and breakfast, but my home and background are far better suited to dog care, I don't cook people food. I have rarely met a dog I did not like, small medium or large, from Miniature dachshunds, Corgis to Labradors, Shepherds and mixed breeds. The dogs that are here under my care are kept on their normal schedule as closely as possible. I feed the dogs twice a day and I am here with them on a full-time basis. My yard is fully fenced my dog is friendly with all dogs and a great play pal when the dogs are outside I am outside with them

Vickie was able to accommodate our dog Beau as we had decided to take a last minute trip. We usually board him with a Rover sitter in Vero but decided to try someone new closer to home. Vickie was professional, had a quick response time, and was able to accommodate our needs. Beau literally jumped out of the car and ran right to her and into the yard upon arrival. At that point we knew he was in great hands. Thank you Vickie!

Vickie has been watching my senior beagle for my out of town trips and I won’t be going to anyone else! She has been very accommodating when plans have changed and I have needed last minute care, including when our flight got delayed and we couldn’t pick up until the next day. Bailey always comes home happy and is well taken care of.

Such a kind and loving person. Great with dogs. I felt 100% comfortable leaving my angel there for the first time, will definitely be using her again.

Molly had a one night stay with Vickie. She usually stays with family members when we go away, but couldn’t this time. This was our first time using Rover, and it was a very nice experience. Vickie was quick to respond to every text. Our meet and greet went very well, and I was completely comfortable leaving Molly with her. I highly recommend Vickie, and will definitely book with her again when we have the need.
