Where Dogs Feel Loved, Safe & happy
Your dog will stay in a loving, kennel-free home where they’re treated like family. Hi, I’m Vicky! I have 25 years of professional experience in dog boarding, daycare, dog parks, and training. My background in canine psychology allows me to understand each dog’s unique personality and emotional needs. Whether your pup is staying overnight or just visiting for the day, they’ll receive personalized care, plenty of affection, mental enrichment, and a calm, structured environment where they can feel safe, relaxed, and happy. 🐾 The Art of Walk™ Every walk is calm, intentional, and tailored to your dog’s pace and personality. I focus on good leash manners, confidence-building, and emotional balance—not just exercise. As a Spanish speaker, I’m happy to communicate with bilingual families as well. My goal is simple: to give you complete peace of mind while making your dog feel loved, comfortable, and at home.

Ratings and reviews
Vicky is truly the best. She was very respectful and attentive of the parameters I had in place for my puppy, and would always send me updates. I never had to worry, and even when I did she always reassured me. Plenty of toys and space for my little one to run around in. We will definitely be working with her again!
Vicky was awesome with our Kashii! She provided updates and pictures and took such good care of our dog. Highly recommend her!
Highly recommend Vicky D. She took fantastic care of Bailey during the stay. Great communication, lovely photos/videos, and wonderful service. Will definitely be using them again!
Vicky is nothing short of amazing!. She kind, caring and very understanding that you and your dog may need a little extra attention to relax. I knew after the first set of photos that she was really getting to know and care for my pup based on the comments she sent. All dogs have unique personalities and boy did she nail them on the head!. My dog has pretty severe separation anxiety: to the point he has injured himself. This was my 2nd time with Vicky and as soon as my boy saw her he took off running toward her, tail wagging with barely a ‘see ya mom” look back. She went above and beyond to make sure he was comfortable, happy, exercised and secure. She does have 3 small rescue dogs that are as welcoming as she is and they were very respectful of my dog by giving him some space to adjust and also making room on the bed so they could all snuggle up with mom. He was part of the pack and enjoying himself in no time. I cannot recommend her highly enough, having had dogs for 30+ years she is absolutely the best caregiver I have ever had and I know my “Velcro” dog actually misses all of them.
Vicky D. Thank you for taking great care of Gia during her stay. Communication was excellent, and the experience was smooth and professional from start to finish. I would happily book with you again and recommend your services to others.
Vicky was great with my dogs Bella and Zoey. She sent tons of pictures and video. She has lots of toys for the dogs and her dogs get along very well with other dogs. We will be using Vicky for our dog sitting needs from now on.

A typical day
Dogs start with calm arrivals and natural socialization. Throughout the day, they enjoy mental stimulation games, light training, and fun physical activities like walks and agility play. We also include proprioception exercises to build confidence and coordination. There’s always time for rest in a მშვიდ, relaxed environment, followed by creative or bonding activities that strengthen trust and connection. Your dog’s day starts in a calm, safe, kennel-free environment where they are welcomed with love and gentle attention. Mornings include potty breaks and structured walks to help them settle and feel comfortable. Throughout the day, they enjoy a balance of rest, play, and supervised time, always based on their personality and energy level. I provide consistent care, calm structure, and lots of affection so every dog feels secure and understood — never rushed or overwhelmed. Your dog enjoys a calm, home-like environment where they are treated as part of the family. They spend their day relaxing, playing, and socializing gently with other friendly dogs when appropriate, always in a safe and supervised setting. Every interaction is guided by their comfort level, personality, and energy. There is a balance of structured walks, potty breaks, rest time, and light play, so your dog feels happy, secure, and at ease — just like being in their own home. You’ll receive regular photo and video updates so you can see how comfortable and loved they are throughout the day. My goal is simple: a calm, loving day that helps your dog feel at home until you return. By the end of the day, every pup goes home happy, calm, and fulfilled—not overstimulated. 💛🐶
