Paws and Stay a While

We are now in Palm Coast, FL! We moved from WA State in June 2024 and we are looking forward to making some new furry friends! I have years of experience raising dogs and I've taken several obedience classes. Our dog Lady has been Good Citizen Certified as well. The longest we've cared for a dog is 3 weeks, the shortest is a weekend. We've cared for dogs as small as YorkiPoos and as large as Labs and Weimaraners. We’ve cared for puppies as young as 8 weeks and dogs into their senior years. We have a Pit/Lab mix 11 year old - Lady - who is full of energy and loves playing with others. We have a fenced & shady back yard, sprinkler, and doggy pool for any pup who wants to splash around. If your pooch is friendly with others, we'd love to care for him/her! Pup must play well with others, dogs and children.

Vicky and family did an excellent job watching Frodo. They were very accommodating and made Frodo welcome in their home. Vicky was flexible with the drop off and pick up schedule. Thank you Vicky for watching Frodo for us. It was nice knowing he was well cared for. Thanks for keeping us updated with the pictures you sent and we hope to see you again.

Abby had an amazing time and slept the rest of the day when I brought her home.🥰 It makes me feel good that she had a loving family taking care of her.

Vicky and her family are wonderful. They took care of our Yorkie for a week and everything was incredible. We will certainly request their services again. Thank you Vicky.

Vicky and her family were amazing! Our pup was well cared for and they sent picture and text updates. At first I was very apprehensive to leave our pup with someone we didn’t know, once I met Vicky and her family I was completely at ease. We will definitely go back!

Vicky did a great job watching our senior dog. She kept us updated, sent photos, and responds quickly. Would definitely rebook dog sitting in the future. Thanks

Dog must play well with others and be good around children. We’d also appreciate knowing any “problem” behavior the dog has that we can be aware of and perhaps help with.
