Highlights
Pet care experience
Your pet’s second best friend 💛✨
Hello! I’m a lifelong dog lover. The corgi you see in my photo is my beloved baby of nearly 14 years, Namie. She went to woof planet this year, and I’m not ready for a new dog anytime soon. Recently, a friend asked if I could pet-sit, and I realized how therapeutic it felt for me. It also made me happy knowing they trusted me with their fur babies, especially since I have years of experience caring for my own. Before Namie came into my life, I was also a dog walker, but later transitioned into office work. Truthfully, I’ve always felt deeply connected to animals since I was a kid. I will treat your fur baby with the same level of care and attention, because I truly understand how much they mean to you. They are family, and they deserve the best.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
When caring for your pet in your home, I understand that every fur baby needs time to feel comfortable with someone new. I always approach slowly and calmly, allowing them to get to know me at their own pace. I may use treats or their favorite toy to help build trust, but I also respect their space and wait for them to approach me when they’re ready. Once they feel comfortable, we can play, go for a walk around the neighborhood based on your preference, or simply relax together. I understand that every dog is different, some are more active, while others prefer cuddling and quiet time. In my dog’s later years, she preferred staying home, so I’m also very comfortable providing calm companionship, whether that’s relaxing together, watching TV, or engaging in gentle play like hide and seek. My goal is always to make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and cared for.
Ratings and reviews
Vicky is wonderful! She goes above and beyond. Definitely recommend her.
We could not be happier with our dog sitter! She has such a calm, caring energy, and our little 11-month-old pup absolutely adores her. From the moment they met, we could tell he felt comfortable and safe with her. She goes above and beyond by making sure he is well-fed, gets plenty of playtime, multiple walks each day, and lots of love and attention. It's clear she genuinely enjoys caring for dogs and treats them like her own. As pet parents, it gives us tremendous peace of mind knowing our puppy is in such great hands while we're away. We have been so impressed that we've already booked her for two more upcoming trips. We highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable, attentive, and compassionate dog sitter! 🐾❤️
We just moved to CA from NJ so we don’t know anyone here. Getting set up with a dog sitter you can trust is such a huge task! I am so happy we found Vicky! She has been extremely communicative, punctual and most importantly is sweet and patient with my anxious dog’s! I have zero reservations about trusting my babies with Vicky and hope to be able to continue to have her stay with my babies when we travel.
Vicky is an exceptional dog caretaker. She has pet‑sat for us for over six years and is the only person we fully trust with our beloved Ichigo. As a rescue, Ichigo does not warm up easily to people due to suspected long‑term abuse before joining our family, but he bonded with Vicky quickly and developed a strong, trusting relationship with her. She also helped train him to be comfortable in a crate, which has given him a sense of security and a space of his own. I truly cannot say enough good things about Vicky—she is a genuine dog whisperer.
Vicky is great with my Pomeranian. She is very nice and takes great care of my dog. Latte loves her :). I would recommend her for anyone in search of loving caring dog walker or caregiver.

Schedule
I’m currently a psychology student and am usually at school in the mornings to early afternoons, Monday through Thursday (depending on the quarter). I am fully available during the weekends. My priority has always been to return home as soon as possible to care for my dog; making sure she could go out, feel safe, and stay relaxed. I will give your fur baby that same level of care, attention, and love.
