Information Vicky D. would like to know about your pet

I would like to know anything that would help your dog feel more comfortable in my home or while I am watching them at yours. I have experience with all types of breeds so I have no breed preference when dog sitting at someone's home.

A typical day

I can take your dog on walks around your neighborhood or wherever you normally walk them so that they are comfortable. I'm happy to take them to the park or just hang out and play.

Experienced Pet Sitter

Pet care experience

I am an elementary teacher in town and I have had dogs all my life. I have always been a "dog person". I currently have a Maltese mix, a pit mix, a husky/pit, a wire hair terrier mix, and a crat. I grew up with huskies, cats, guinea pigs, and a bird. My animals have always been a part of my family. I also volunteer at the county shelter when I have the time. I have had small and large dogs, puppies and senior dogs, as well as dogs with special needs. Growing up I often dog sat for family and friends and currently take care of my parents dog whenever they go out of town. Teaching makes my nights, weekends, and holidays free so I have plenty of availability to check on your pets.

Vicky always does a great job with our 3 dogs! We came home to 3 happy and healthy girls from a short trip away.

Vicky is the best pet sitter! We have had her care for our 3 dogs multiple times and she always does such a great job taking care of them! We were gone for a week over Christmas and we felt so good knowing she would be caring for them while we were away - we came home to three very happy & healthy pups! I highly recommend her for your pet sitting needs! She is wonderful!!

Vicky does a great job caring for our pups! I always feel so comfortable leaving them in her care. She’s great at communicating with us and sending photos to let us see how they’re doing. 😊 And our dogs love her!

Vicky took care of our cat Mishu for a 4th of July weekend. She was always on time visiting our home, checking Mishu. She also sent us a picture every time so we could see her and be sure she was ok. We are planning to use her service in the future. We recommend her services 100%
