“I highly recommend Victoria for pet sitting! Our dog Nina was clearly having an amazing time from all the nice photos we got throughout her stay. I really appreciate how she was welcome to roam her home and be part of a temporary family, getting loved on and even taken outside for some exercise. Hopefully next time we go on a trip she will have availability because we will easily choose Victoria.”

Not only was she incredibly great to our boy and us and a great communicator, but she also showed great patience for me and was incredibly flexible. We were so lucky to have found her!”

We recommend her if you are in the Southern Maine area.”
