Christine was so fantastic. She boarded my baby girl for a week. Christine was very flexible and consistently sent me updates and photos of Dolly. Dolly also takes daily medication, and I truly appreciate the extra effort from Christine. Dolly clearly had a lovely time. I'm so happy she got a chance to hang out with other dogs and be at Christine's welcoming and wonderful home!

Donna is the best! Ollie just adores her. He’ll be back to her in just under one week — and I’m sure he’ll miss her while he’s with us this week! ❤️🤣

Matthew took great care of our dog! He regularly sent pictures and our pup came home exhausted from all the yard/park play. Will definitely book again with him next time we go away.

Laurie and Rich were so kind and caring for our little Frodo. From their photos, he was clearly comfortable in their home and yard. They kept us updated with his adjustment as it was his first time with them. When they expressed concern when he did not eat his dinner, we assured them that he does skip meals. We were lucky to find them available for our mini vacation. Thank you, Laurie and Richard

Elizabeth cared for our pup for the first time on our longest period away from her during an international trip. We never had to worry or wonder how she was because of how consistently Elizabeth kept us in the loop. We are so thankful we found her, she took amazing care of our baby!

She's very reliable and takes good care of my sweet pup while I'm away! Very considerate and thoughtful! I truly appreciate it and know I can rest assured any time Blanche is with her!

About: I've been a dog owner for 12 years, and a dog and pet lover my whole life! I have had to send my two dogs to heaven in the last two years, and I miss having dogs in my life, but I'm not quite ready to adopt again. But I'd love to help owners with their pets, and shower them with affection and walks and dog park visits while they are in my care. Dogs are allowed on the bed and furniture in my home, of course! I telework 3 days per week, and when I am not teleworking I work short days, and am home most evenings as well. I am also available to sit in your home as well! While I don't have a yard, I live in Del Ray with many parks, trails, and dog friends to spend time with. I'm very active and love to hike and walk.

Great experience! My regular sitter wasn’t available, so I tried Victor for boarding and couldn’t be happier. They communicated clearly, sent daily photos, took my dog Yaara on walks, and spent quality time with him. Most importantly, my dog seemed relaxed and unstressed after. I’d definitely book with Victor again.
