WFH, Reliable & Responsible Sitter
I specialize in caring for small dogs. Working from home full-time allows me to offer your pet 24/7 undivided attention, ensuring they are never left alone. Your dog's safety and happiness are my top priorities. My home is comfortable, calm and quiet. I'm located in Playa Vista, a super dog friendly community where your dog will enjoy walks and sniffs. Things you can expect: - I take only one dog at a time - Our spacious, clean, and secure home has everything your pet needs. We also have a small, private balcony where your dog can enjoy sunbathing or a relaxing nap. - I provide quick responses and frequent photo/video updates so you can feel connected to your dog throughout their stay. I know that every dog is unique, with his/her own specific needs and routines. That’s why I'm committed to closely following your instructions, ensuring your dog receives the care they’re accustomed to and feels at ease throughout their stay. I'll provide regular playtime, multiple walks each day, and potty breaks per your dog's need. Let’s schedule a meet and greet to help both you and your dog feel comfortable with us while you're away.

Ratings and reviews
Another fantastic stay with Aunt Vicky and Uncle Stan. I got updates throughout the day and I felt like I was right there with my boy while on vacation. I could see in the pics and videos he was happy, doing his trot and feeling safe. Vicky was so creative in her approaches with his picky eating and I was always astounded to see the videos of him licking the plate clean!! Never seen that before when I feed him. She is amazing! So caring, so attuned to doggies. I can’t recommend her enough.
Vicky did an amazing job caring for my doggie over Christmas. She sent me numerous photos and updates throughout the day, I felt like I was there with him experiencing the royal treatment vicariously. Vicky and her husband Stan even got my picky boy to eat all his food, cheering him on, sprinkling a grated treat over his food to entice him and sweetly shaping his food into a Christmas tree! They genuinely care and love dogs and clearly have a lot of knowledge about dog’s needs. When I came to collect my doggie, he was so calm and peaceful. I knew he had been well loved. His eyes looked great (he was prescribed drops for an infection right before boarding with Vicky). I can tell she took good care of him. Even his tail looked fluffy, with Vicky informing me he let her brush him with no problem! My dog really trusted her because he’s not easy to brush and give eye drops to! Vicky is seriously top-notch! The only downside is I think my dog wanted to stay with her when I came to pick him up, she did such an amazing job with him. She is truly exceptional and I feel really fortunate to have found her!
Thank you Vicky and Alan for taking such exceptional care of Luca. I appreciate how responsive, detail-oriented, and incredibly kind you both are. Also Tofu is the sweetest pup! Anyone would be lucky to have you care for their fur baby :)
Vicky is truly the best dog sitter we could ever ask for. She is incredibly detail-oriented, loving, and attentive. We have a tiny senior Yorkie with a very sensitive stomach, and Vicky cared for her even better than we could ourselves. She made sure our baby ate regularly, exercised moderately, and kept her coat impeccably clean and brushed. Throughout the two-week stay, Vicky sent us regular updates and dozens of beautiful photos, giving us complete peace of mind. Her dog, Tofu, is also a gentle and affectionate companion who made our baby's stay even more enjoyable. Five-star service from start to finish. We highly recommend Vicky to anyone who cherishes their four-legged family members as much as we do!
Vicky was truly amazing with my senior boy! She was very responsive, patient, caring and thoughtful with Hannigan. She followed my instructions well including his special needs to ensure my boy was comfortable. She even shared her knowledge about dog food nutrition! I was at peace with the frequent pictures and videos updates. I feel so lucky to have found Vicky and can’t imagine leaving my baby with anyone else!
Vicky is a wonderful sitter! From our initial meet-and-greet, it was clear that Vicky genuinely loves dogs and knows how to care for them. Vicky took the time to understand my dog’s personality, routine and specific needs, which made all the difference. I have a senior dog and can be a bit shy, but thanks to the calm environment, he adjusted quickly and absolutely loves his time there. My dog also gets along with Vicky's dog, Tofu, as he is also a calm dog who keeps to his own.

Schedule
I offer 24/7 companionship as I work from home with a flexible full-time schedule. Your dog will be accompanied by me at all times and will never be left unattended. This is especially beneficial for dogs with separation anxiety, ensuring they feel calm, supported, and never lonely during their stay.

Safety, trust & environment
The safety and comfort of pets are my top priorities. I only take one dog at a time, this way I can make sure to provide personalized care, exercise, and playtime that follows your established routine. I will also provide regular updates so you feel peace while away from your pet.

A typical day
Depending on your dog's energy level, I can offer a variety of things to do. For more calm dogs, we can cuddle, go for a walk, and come home for belly rubs. For dogs that need more excitement, we can play fetch/hide and seek/scent games, walk longer and wrap up with a relaxed massage. My goal is to have your dog happy and content.

- To provide the best care, I’d love to know about any special needs your dog may have, such as dietary restrictions, food allergies, bathroom habits, preferred touch areas, and medications (if any). I excel at following instructions, so the more details you provide, the better I can care for your dog!
