About Vicky

👋 Hi, I'm Vicky!

Are you worried about leaving your anxious dog, rescue dog, or new puppy with someone they don't know?

I completely understand. Finding the right person to care for your dog can feel like a huge decision, and every owner wants to know their dog is safe, happy, and understood while they're away 💛

I offer dog walking, drop-in visits, overnight house sitting, and care for multi-dog households across Portishead, Clevedon, and surrounding North Somerset areas.

My motivation for becoming a pet sitter comes from a genuine love of dogs and a fascination with how they think, learn, and communicate. There's nothing more rewarding than seeing a nervous dog start to relax, gain confidence, and realise they're safe.

I have experience working in dog daycare environments, caring for dogs of different breeds, ages, personalities, and energy levels 🐕🐕‍🦺

I've also volunteered in rescue and rehoming settings, including supporting Battersea Dogs & Cats Home and PetRehomer 🏡 Working with rescue dogs taught me that patience, consistency, and understanding can make a huge difference to a dog's confidence and wellbeing.

A big turning point for me was caring for Elvis 🐶, a Covid dog with severe separation anxiety. Helping him feel safe and settled sparked my interest in canine behaviour and inspired me to continue learning more about welfare, training, and emotional wellbeing.

🐾 I particularly enjoy working with nervous and sensitive dogs, rescue and rehomed dogs, puppies and young dogs, small and companion breeds, poodle crosses and doodles, and multi-dog households.

🎓 I'm currently studying Clinical Canine Behaviour and have completed training in Canine First Aid, Dog Training Studies, Canine Health & Nutrition, Therapy Dog Support, and Pet Loss Grief Support.

I'm fully insured 🛡️ and DBS checked ✔️

Whether your dog loves adventures, gentle sniff-filled strolls, cuddles on the sofa, or believes that 🎾 BALL IS LIFE 🎾, I'll tailor my care to suit their individual needs.

📸 You'll receive regular pupdates, photos, and updates throughout so you can relax knowing your dog is happy, safe, and well cared for.

My aim is simple: to provide calm, reliable, and attentive care so your dog feels safe, understood, and comfortable while you're away 🐶💛

💌 I'd love to hear about you and your dog, so please feel free to get in touch. I'm always happy to arrange a meet and greet before any booking and answer any questions you may have 🐾💕
