Pet care experience

Hi, my name is Vicky, and I’ve been caring for pets for over 8 years. I treat every pet like they’re my own. Whether it’s a midday walk to get the wiggles out or a cozy drop-in visit for some pets and playtime, I’m here to make your life easier and your furry companion’s day better! For 5 of those years, I lived with and cared for my nieces, Laura, a sweet Pekinese shitzu mix, and Weylie, the cuddliest cat on the block. Beyond that, I’ve looked after pets for friends, family, and neighbors from dogs and cats to bunnies, turtles, fish, and even bearded dragons. I’m a true animal lover who understands that every pet has their own routine and personality. Some love belly rubs, others prefer space and a sunny spot to nap and I’m attentive to all those little details. I take this responsibility seriously and approach every visit with care, patience, and a genuine love for animals while also making sure your pet enjoys our time together. Expect happy tails, content purrs, and plenty of updates for peace of mind while you're away. Your pet’s comfort and safety always come first.

Vicky provided daily drop ins for my cat for a week (for the second time this month) and was great again. She is very interactive during the visits which I appreciate and she also provides good updates after each visit.

Vicky is the best sitter. She was transparent about her arrival times. She asked all the right questions during the initial phone call. She sent me updates during each visit. Her Rover cards always made my day. Truly. Based on what i know about my cat, i could tell that her interactions with my cat were meaningful. She called out the details of my cat’s behavior and preferences. My cat and my place are in excellent shape and i couldnt be more thankful. Overall, Vicky is both professional as a sitter and sweet as an individual. Thank you so much!

Vicky took great care of my cat while I was gone for the week. She was a great communicator and made sure to follow all care instructions well. She also was very dedicated in interacting with my cat during the whole visit, including her favorite toys. I have already booked her again for upcoming travel.

Vicky did an excellent job watching my cat while I was away for a couple nights! She provided photos and detailed recaps which I very much appreciated. Will definitely be using her again.

Safety, trust & environment

When caring for pets in a client’s home, I prioritize safety, trust, and creating a calm, positive environment. I follow your instructions carefully from feeding routines and medications to walking routes and favorite toys, I'll make sure your pet feels secure and well cared for. I’m always respectful of your space and will leave everything just as I found it. I take time to build trust with each pet, whether that means a few extra minutes of play, a gentle approach with shy animals, or sticking closely to their routine. I also provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident knowing your pet is in good hands while you’re away.

Information Vicky T. would like to know about your pet

I always want to give your pet the best care possible, so it’s helpful to know about any routines, preferences, quirks, or triggers they have. Let me know if they have any medical needs, dietary restrictions, favorite toys, or things that make them nervous (like loud noises or other dogs). The more I know about your pet’s personality and habits, the more I can tailor my care to make them feel safe, happy, and at home.

A typical day

Whether it's a walk around the neighborhood, a game of fetch, or some relaxed indoor play, I tailor activities to each pet’s energy level and personality. For dogs, that might mean sniffy strolls, tug-of-war, or practicing tricks with treats. For cats, I love interactive play with toys, window watching, or just keeping them company while they lounge. And of course — lots of belly rubs and cuddles if they prefer it! My goal is to make sure your pet feels happy, stimulated, and cared for while you're away — and to have a little fun together along the way.

Pet care fits seamlessly into my routine because I work from home full-time and have a flexible schedule. This allows me to plan my day around walk times, drop-in visits, and any special care your pet might need.
