Pet care experience
Every animal is my best friend
Animals have always been a part of my life. Growing up we had dogs, cats, fish, reptiles…. You name it. I have yet to meet an animal that I don’t love. In my mind, they should be spoiled and showered with affection every opportunity. Their unconditional love is heartwarming and deserves to be rewarded with lots of cuddles. I take care of small and medium sized dogs up to 40 pounds and over 1 year old. This is because I do host tiny and disabled dogs. Larger dogs and puppies can be difficult if I am caring for an infirmed pup. I have administered medication in liquid, injection and pill form. Your baby is my priority. Rover is my only job so my time is spent feeding, playing with and caring for your pup, 24 hours per day. I have a team to back me up, my husband, Tony and my mother-in-law, Maureen. Between the three of us, your baby is never left alone. I ask that you reach out to me for updates. I will be taking pictures of your baby throughout their stay and will forward updates at your request. That way I don’t interfere with your vacation or business trip. I have my phone by my side all of the time and will only be slow to respond if I am truly unable at that exact moment. I do travel periodically so please check my calendar for availability. I keep my calendar updated at all times. I have a secure yard that makes it easy to keep your baby safe. I neutralize the yard with URI-CIDE ® pet odor eliminator. It is the only Microbial/ Enzyme based product that is designed for the complete removal of stains, pet urine smells and other odors of the most offensive kind. URI-CIDE® is 100% non-toxic, bio-degradable and safe to use around kids, pets and plants. One key bit of information is that we have installed a whole house Generac generator. This will protect your baby from the elements during bad weather even if the power in the neighborhood has gone out. They will remain in a climate controlled and lighted home.

Ratings and reviews
Vickie was the best and I am.so thankful to have a great place for my dog to stay. Communication was excellent, lots of flexibility, pictures and Stella was so happy and really took to her quickly. Thank you!
Pepe always has so much fun here. I love knowing he is having the best time whenever I drop him off
Vicki and Maureen provide a fun, safe "dog home" for Scruffy. Returning to work has been a challenge and knowing that Scruffy is loved and cared for provided the opportunity for me to be present and productive in my new job. Scruffy learned to play and be part of a pack! I am forever grateful! Scruffy has expanded out of his anxious shell.
Vicki is a gift to Scruffy and me. She helped me as I transition to working and being away from Scruffy. She is gentle, kind and knowledgeable about all things "dog". Forever grateful!
Bailey had a great time! Vicky kept us up to date with lots of photos and information on what they did each day! Definitely will use again!
Vikki and her husband were amazing with Dobby! We would for absolutely sure leave him again!

Schedule
My fulltime job has been to care for dogs for almost a decade now. They are my priority every day and I couldn't ask for more fulfilling work.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
My home is set up completely pet friendly. Anything that I wouldn't want for your pet to access is behind a pet gate. I follow all feeding and medicine instructions and ensure that your pet is adequately exercised. There are lots of areas for playtime or relaxation depending on the level of energy that they have.
Pets
A typical day
I have an extremely dog friendly yard with toys and shade trees. Sometimes I even set up the pool. It's truly a pup paradise. I constantly look for new and fun ways to entertain your baby.
