I can't wait to meet your pet!
Pet care experience
I've always had pets since childhood- rodents, cats, dogs, and fish. I got my first pets that were fully my own in 2009 and then added on to my family of myself and two cats when I got my puppy in 2013. My pup has had the highest levels of training and is a difficult dog who I love with all my heart. Learning to care for her with her fear-based aggression and general shy demeanor has made me even more open-minded towards dogs that need a little more patience and understanding. That being said, I love all animals and have been sitting for others for a few years now. I am really good with puppies, and I am not a professional dog trainer but I love helping dogs learn simple tricks and good behavior through positive reinforcement (and treats!).
Reviews
Victoria was wonderful! She took great care of our pets and home while we were away.
We feel incredibly fortunate to have had the pleasure of Victoria's services as our very first dog walker through this app. She not only exceeded our expectations but set the standard exceptionally high. Victoria quickly won over the heart of our beloved dog, Finn, in a way we never could. His excitement when she arrived was unparalleled, and he even exhibited the rare display of emotional affection by 'happy peeing' each time she greeted him. Victoria went above and beyond, creating a personalized puppy scrapbook for Finn and pampering him with treats. She took him on captivating adventures around the city, ensuring he not only socialized with other dogs but also immersed himself in various human and environmental stimuli. In every sense, she spoiled our dog. Despite Finn's naturally affectionate disposition, we witnessed an extraordinary connection between him and Victoria that we had never seen before. We acknowledge that life presents new opportunities, and Victoria has embarked on her own journey towards her dreams and career. While she may no longer be able to walk Finn on the days we require, we wholeheartedly support her endeavors and are genuinely thrilled for her. For anyone seeking a dog walker, we wholeheartedly and enthusiastically recommend Victoria. She not only spoils your furry companion but also keeps you updated with delightful photos and detailed reports of their time together. We consider ourselves incredibly fortunate to have crossed paths with her, and we believe you will feel just as lucky with her as your dog's caregiver.
Victoria is the best! Couldn’t ask for a better sitter for my dog and cat. She’s so great with communication and updates. She’s also super reliable, always felt at ease leaving the animals with her for both routine drop-ins and vacations. Can’t thank her enough!
Victoria in watching our dog. She sent us pictures and reports to let us know how much Dozer was enjoying his time spent with her. I would recommend her in a heart beat to anyone looking for a loving and caring sitter.

I will follow any and all requirements you have about the safety of your pet and your home. My dog is crate trained so I fully understand the benefits of that and how it works. I am good at reading cues from pets and will go at their pace. Safety is the #1 most important thing to me above all else.
Information Victoria T. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know anything important to you about your dog or your home. To me, there is no such thing as too much information and I would rather have a large amount of info than not enough. I love knowing if they will bark when I greet them, if they pull on the leash during walks, if they have a favorite toy or treat, their favorite spot to be pet, or anything you can think of that might help me or them feel more comfortable.
A typical day
I love playing puzzle games with dogs. I also enjoy training and helping them learn new tricks and good behaviors through positive reinforcement. We can play fetch, chase, or any other games they like. A nice walk is always fun and I don't mind stopping to sniff every little thing if they want to! A long walk or walk in a specific park that I would have to drive to would be an extra fee.

I'm currently sitting part-time. I’m a full-time student with class 9am-4:30pm Monday-Friday. I also work, typically evenings Saturday-Monday. Please keep this in mind if you have a pet who needs to be let out frequently, like every 4 hours!
