Life Long Dog Lover

Pet care experience

Have owned dogs and horses for 20+ years. I have one dog, adopted from a shelter and he loves to play with other dogs. I have veterinary assistant experience also and love caring and spending time with all animals. You can be assured your dog will be treated as one of the family in a safe and loving environment. Bring their favorite toys, blankets and treats and any special instructions you may have to make their stay comfortable, enjoyable and fun! Because I have a small townhome I can't accomodate large breeds but welcome small and medium sized breeds. Lots of open space to go for long walks and close to dog park also. Your pup will have a great stay and lots of fun.

I have worked with Vicky for over a year now and have never seen someone so passionate about caring for any and ALL animals. I love my dog more than anything in the world and Vicky is one of the few people I would 100% trust with his well-being. She is, not only, an extremely hard worker whom always puts caring for the animals above anything else, but also, is an all around genuine, and amazing person. Vicky takes the dogs for long walks, keeps their areas immaculate, changes and washes their bedding as often as needed (and as a plus, folds all their laundry beautifully), plays with them, feeds them promptly, always makes sure they have fresh water. Most importantly, Vicky gives any (and every) animal enough love to last a lifetime :)

I have known Vickie for many years. She is one of the most compassionate people when it comes to caring for animals, especially dogs. I wouldn't hesitate at all to have Vickie take care of my dog because I know he would be in great hands.

I would HIGHLY recommend Vicky! After working together for 3 years in a clinic setting, you really get to know a person and see their true colors. Vicky is a really special person and her patients know it. They find comfort in the care she provides them. Vicky truly cares for every "doodle" she encounters, and really shares a special bond with them as well. She is very reliable in providing the best care including caring for those on medications. Not only will you find an amazing caretaker for your companion, you will find a friend in Vicky.

Vicky has been our dog walker for the past three years during the week when we are at work. During that time, she has been incredibly reliable, flexible to our needs, trustworthy and, most importantly, very caring with our collie, Evie. We trust her with a key to our place and with Evie, who is a very special part of our family. Beyond this, Vicky has years of experience working with animals, both her personal pets and others in a professional capacity. Having her work for us has been a very positive experience -- one that I hope will continue for many years. Thanks, Vicky!
