Pet care experience

Longtime dogsitter with open availability as I'm working from home for the foreseeable forever! Fully vaccinated + boosted. My schedule is fairly flexible and I'm very responsive, so if you have an emergency or a last-minute work trip then please do not hesitate to reach out. Reliable and energetic outdoor lover who would be delighted to care for your pup(s). I've lived with dogs my entire life (golden retrievers, chihuahuas, an English bulldog, Scottish terriers, a Rhodesian ridgeback, etc.). I have experience with dogs of all shapes and sizes so I am comfortable with all types.

Vicky did an excellent job with my boys! I was a little nervous because we haven’t left our 1.5yr old Bernedoodle for that long with anyone and she handled it like a pro. I also have an older dog that requires medicine 2x a day and I felt great knowing she was here with both of them. Pretty sure she spoiled them both. My house was also as clean if not cleaner than I left it when I got back! 10/10

Vicky was wonderful! She took care of our two pups for five days. She came over twice to get to know them beforehand which was so sweet as our one pup can be fearful of new people. She kept us up to date with frequent updates and pictures. The house was perfect when we got home and the pups were very happy. Thank you, Vicky!

I have also opted to automatically deduct 5% of all Rover payments as a donation to support the work of Friends of Austin Animal Center, so you can enjoy a smidge of extra good karma when booking stays with me as a portion of your money will directly benefit community animals in need.

Information Vicky P. would like to know about your pet

I don't have any breed preferences, and I do like to pop by and meet the owner/dog before booking (when possible) just to make sure that everyone is comfortable with the upcoming stay. My experience administering medication: I've owned and cared for many dogs that required daily medication. As long as you give me instructions on what to do, I'll continue the routine.

A typical day

Extra house-sitting services: I also excel in plant-watering and house-sitting :). I grew up in a bed & breakfast so I'm a super respectful house guest and know how to turn over a bedroom – you'll always come home to a clean home and fresh sheets!

While I do not own my own pup presently, my partner and I regularly foster dogs from Austin Animal Center. If we are hosting a current foster, I would only be able to come care for your dogs in your home (instead of hosting them in my own home).
