Information Vicky P. would like to know about your pet

The dog needs to be completely fine with young children. I have young son. He’s good with dogs so won’t antagonize them at all and your dog will need to the same :)

A typical day

Walk the fore river sanctuary trails. Depending on your dog and your comfort, I’ll take your dog on long walks on various trails around the city.

Pet care experience

Hi I'm Vicky and I'm very much a dog-person. I recently said goodbye to my dog, who was my best friend, and really miss having a pet around . I’ve had a dog my whole life and have a lot of experience dog sitting through rover. I will take great care of your dog.

Vicky and her family took great care of Meera! They sent daily photo updates and we could tell she was happy and comfortable in their care. They were also flexible with our drop off/pick up times. We wouldn’t hesitate to book again!

Vicky and her family and friends were wonderful! Hudson had such fun and kept so busy. It was nice to get frequent updates and lots of pictures. We could see that he was very happy!

Vicky was the best I could’ve hoped for. My dog was excited arriving into her home, and that’s not like her, she’s normally pretty nervous. Daphne was thrilled, and the photos and videos that followed showed that she was living the good life! Chillaxing and running=her happy life. Vicky lives in an amazing spot with trails in the forest that are dog heaven, I can only assume!!!
