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
Reviews
First time visit with Vickie, but believe Carmella may have enjoyed her vacation with a fellow pet lover. Vickie provided excellent communication and pushed above the call due to flight delay. I appreciate her service.
I think she's a wonderful dog sitter. I've entrusted my dog to her twice before, and each time I can travel with peace of mind.
Vickie was great with my boys! She has a very large fenced yard which was a playground for my little guys. I felt very comfortable leaving them with her and will use Vickie again if I'm ever back in Melbourne!
Excellent as always, Scooby was well cared for and had a great time. Thank you!

Safety, trust & environment
I have several dog beds and locations within my home where the dogs make themselves comfortable. I also have crates as I found that some dogs like their crates and want to be in them.

I am here full time and the dogs are my priority. I rarely leave the property and the dogs are never left alone for more than an hour.
