Hi there, I'm Vicky! Here's some "get to know me" info: I graduated from CSUN in May and am still fairly new to this post grad life. Trying to figure out the next step can be a little intimidating. What better than to ease some of that overwhelming decision by engaging in the love, companionship, and joy of having dogs around? I decided that joining Rover would be a new challenging and rewarding way to spend my free time. I am so thankful for the opportunity and am beyond excited to get to know you and your pet! I spend the early years of my childhood on the east coast and journeyed over to sunny southern California about 15 years ago. Growing up, I always wanted pets, but my parents were very hesitant on it since my siblings were younger. I managed to convince my parents (with an entire speech and PowerPoint presentation) that we should pet sit for my cousin’s dog since she was traveling out of the country for a year. Guess who won that debate? Cue PJ, a fluffy 2-year-old Maltese, joining our household of 5. Fast forward to moving to California, it took a bit to adjust to the culture here. I, again, convinced my parents to adopt a hyperactive terrier mix named Rex from the local shelter. I promised I would train him, take him on walks, and take care of his needs, well as much as I could as a 12-year-old kid. I have kept my word and to this day everyone would say that Rex favors and only listens to me, stubborn old pup. Over the years, I would pet sit for family, friends, and neighbors; though usually at their house unless Rex ‘approved’ of the new furry creature. Between my boyfriend and I's family, our pets include a parakeet (sun conure), 4 dogs (Terrier mix, Yorkie mix, GSD mix, and St. Bernard), and 1 cat (orange tabby). A typical day with your dog would consist of walks through the neighborhood or a short car ride to a nearby trail, sunbathing in the yard or park, and just relaxing enjoying each other’s company at the house. I promise to send updates via pictures and will be sure to shower them with love, cuddles, and treats! **RATES ARE NEGOTIABLE IF NECESSARY** Feel free to reach out and discuss pricing that fits with your budget.
