Pet care experience

A “Dogcation” with a Big Backyard

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.

Vicky took such good care of Theo during his 3 day, 2 night boarding stay. I received ample updates throughout the day about his eating, exercise and napping habits. It put my mind at ease. They are clearly dog lovers with great attention to detail and I would definitely have them watch Theo again. He came home happy and tired. Thank you!

Vicky and Marvin were sweet, caring, and attentive with Camila. Vicky kept communication clear before and throughout the visit, providing updates during the day. I loved that they included Camila in their outing and dinner and made her feel part of the family. I would definitely book with them again. Thank you!
