MEET OUR TEAM

Vicki Bonilla

Vicki Bonilla started up V.I.C. Pet Care in July 2010. Vicki and her husband moved to Tampa in 2007 and she is now a loving mother of two boys, Holly their rescued pup and their bearded dragon, Lizzy. Between V.I.C. Pet Care, V.I.C. Pet Dental Spa, and her family she stays pretty busy.

Vicki has been working in the animal health field for over 25 years. She started working at a young age in South Florida as a veterinary technician until she went off to college. She graduated from Clemson University with a biological science degree in 2005. Since graduation she has followed her passion for pet care. Even though she’s worked with several wildlife rescue centers and was a zoo keeper, her love and passion has always been directed back to our own critters at home!

As a veterinary technician she is aware of how difficult it is for pet owners to find an experienced pet nurse to care for their pet’s special needs when they are away or working long hours. Vicki has spent the past 10 years growing V.I.C. Pet Care to where it is today. She loves everything about the company and is excited to see where the next 10 years takes us.

Leah joined V.I.C Pet Care in March of 2021. She is our Office Manager and Pet Sitter Coordinator. She lives in Westchase with her husband, two teen sons, a young daughter, and two active dogs; a Chocolate Lab and a Hound mix.  She grew up with cats and dogs, frequently pet sitting for family members and worked for a pet sitting company when her boys were young.  She knows how difficult it can be to leave pets at home when traveling or working long hours because she’s had to leave her dogs, so she always takes special care to show all our furry clients the love and attention they crave while their people are away. She does have a soft spot for our bigger, active pups and enjoys trying to beat her step record on their walks.  When not pet sitting, she enjoys boating with her family, working out, watching football, and cooking.
