“Victoria does an excellent job with my dogs! She is punctual, responsible, and very loving towards my pets. She was always flexible and went above and beyond to make sure the needs of both of my dogs were met. I trust her 100% with my fur babies. She is great with my senior dog and my lab puppy too. I’d highly recommend her to anyone looking for a pet sitter.”

Your pet’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. My home is pet-friendly, clean, and secure, with plenty of space to relax or play. I carefully introduce new pets to the environment, keep all doors and gates closed, and never leave pets unsupervised outside. I follow your care instructions closely—from feeding routines to medication—so your pet feels right at home. Whether it’s cuddles on the couch or quiet time in their own bed, I provide a calm, loving environment built on trust and attention.

About: I have pet sat for my grandma for as long as I can remember and deal with dogs daily, I have my own dog currently. I can bathe and walk and play with dogs easily and safely and feed them if given instructions and their allergies. I plan to be available during the daytime for seven days a week and don’t have a job currently so am looking to spend a lot of time with any dog I can. I take my teacup size dog on walks daily, sometimes with my grandma or sisters larger dogs. I help feed them and watch them in the back yard or around the house whenever needed. I often brush and play with the dogs in my home, and help feed them daily
