Every animal is my best friend

Pet care experience

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, my mother-in-law, Maureen, and my longtime friend, Kim. Between the four 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 multi gated yard that makes it easy to keep your baby safe, even if they are an escape artist. I have artificial turf, bark and pebble landscaping so your baby will not come home with burrs or unwelcomed bugs. 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.

Dubs had another great stay with Vikki! Even though there was a bad storm, Dubs was well taken care of and enjoyed his time.

As always, our pup always has a great time while with Vikki! He looked so happy in all the pictures that were shared. Thank you so much for always taking good care of Dubs!

We’re so so lucky to have Vikki and her team to watch our Lola while we’re away. She genuinely loves it there, and it’s such a gift for our peace of mind. Thank you Vikki!!

Information Vikki H. would like to know about your pet

I like to know if your dog is socialized and to what degree. Also, it's important that I am aware of any allergies or medications that they may have. I need to know if your dog is not fixed. For the safety of your pet and others, it is difficult for me to accommodate an unfixed pet.

A typical day

I have an extremely dog friendly yard with toys and shaded dog lounges. 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.
