Information Vicky C. would like to know about your pet

I’d love to understand your dog’s daily habits — including feeding, sleep routines, and any cues or training you’d like me to continue. Please also share any quirks, allergies, medical needs, or social behaviors so I can make their stay as comfortable and stress-free as possible.

A typical day

Morning walk, breakfast, yard time or rest indoors, afternoon walk, and an evening wind-down. I tailor the pace to your dog’s personality — playful and active, or calm and relaxed.

A “Dogcation” with a Big Backyard

Pet care experience

Hi I'm Vicky! I have 18 years of hands-on dog care experience (and raising my own pup, Popcorn, from puppyhood to nearly 17), I’ve created a space where dogs can relax, play, and feel at home. My husband and I both work from home full-time, so your pup will always have company and care throughout the day. Think of your dog’s stay as their own little vacation getaway: - Space to Roam: Our extra-large, fully fenced backyard is perfect for zoomies, sunbathing, and exploring. It’s basically a private playground just for dogs. Inside, there’s plenty of cozy space to relax, including a quiet guest room for pups who like their own retreat. - Daily Adventures: Each day includes two 30–45 minute walks, plus lots of supervised outdoor time. On weekends, we can add fun outings like beach walks or dog-friendly patio hangs (with your approval). - Personalized Comfort: We follow your dog’s routine and preferences so they feel right at home - whether they’re playful and active or more into lounging and soaking up the good life.

Javi had a great time with Vicky! She sent us great pictures during his stay and was very accommodating with our date changes.

We were so lucky to have found Vicky to board our Roadie with during a recent weekend away. Upon our first meeting, I knew Roadie would be so loved and cared for. Her yard to roam and play in and the long walks they took every day, Roadie may have had more fun than we did! The many photos she shared throughout the day made us feel like we were part of her day. Thanks Vicky. We cant wait for Roadie's next visit!
