I currently work full-time at a hospital and wanted to find some extra work that was more flexible that committing to an extra 12 hour shift plus traffic and animals are always a bonus. I am looking to book appointments Wed-Friday right now, since those are my off days.

Safety, trust & environment

I'm comfortable in my ability to be around animals and know how they're feeling, I'm open drop in visits, play time visits, walks, medication needs and will absolutely meet with you beforehand so I can be sure I'm taking care of your pets the same way that you would and that everyone feels respected and protected. I am: 🌈 LGBT friendly 💉 Covid Vaccinated 🐾 Comfortable with all ages and temperaments

Information Vickie R. would like to know about your pet

Best information to know ahead of time is temperament, specific medical needs/allergies and particular social needs. Do they need a muzzle for walks, avoid bigger/smaller dogs, things they really enjoy.

A typical day

Currently not hosting pets in my own home because I have several of my own but if the home has a yard we can go out and play, walks are one of my favorites for super active friends because they really seem to enjoy it. Just really seeing what the dogs want to do and trying to get that done. Some dogs need more rest time, some will run until they fall over.

Compassionate Pet Care in McKinney

Pet care experience

I always grew up with dogs in the family as a kid and started adopting fur babies as soon as I got my first apartment. I currently have 3 cats and 2 dogs and have had them for the last 10-14 years. I've also rescued several other animals that I helped re-home because all the pet space in our house was full. I have experience giving oral and topical medication, as well as insulin shots. I'm comfortable caring for all ages of pets, the majority of mine were under a year when I rescued them and technically most of them are seniors now. /Tear I'm an EMT/Dispatcher with 10 years in the medical field and I'm not squeamish or rattled easily and I understand much like people, sometimes accidents happen that need cleaning up or pets are sick and just need a little extra care.

Vickie is a very honest and responsible person. She has several years of experience caring for both humans and animals. She is professional, reliable, and compassionate. Her experience in the medical field adds to her ability to handle any situation. She is an excellent communicator and extremely professional. I feel very comfortable leaving my pets in her capable hands.
