2. Amaya W.
“I had the pleasure of working with Amaya as a pet sitter, and I couldn't be more impressed! From the very beginning, Amaya was incredibly professional, attentive, and caring. She made sure to keep me updated with photos and messages, which gave me peace of mind while I was away. My pets absolutely adored her, and it was clear she truly understands animal behavior and needs. She was punctual, reliable, and went above and beyond to ensure my pets were comfortable and happy. I highly recommend Amaya for anyone looking for a responsible and loving pet sitter. I will definitely be reaching out to her again for future trips!”

About: We have abundant experience in caring for animals whether they be ours or loved one's who we've cared for while they were away from their animals/house. This includes but is not limited to the following; large and small dogs (Greyhounds, Boxers, Husky, Pit bulls, mixed breeds, Maltese poodle, etc.), cats, large and small snakes (2ft - 9ft), small mammals (mice and rats, deques, rabbits, etc.), reptiles to (include scorpions, bearded dragons) .. just to name a few! Hello! I'm Victoria and I often travel with the best travel partner I've found yet, Rae. I travel frequently and am available for extended sits as needed. We often miss the love of animals while on the road. So, house and pet sitting is perfect for us! I take work with me and also additionally do gig work (i.e. grocery deliveries) if time permits while traveling. In time off from work, if not spending time with family or animals, we love to cook, find hidden gem restaurants/food trucks, explore in nature, long camping trips (we just took a 9000 mile, 2 month camping trip this year in April), projects on various older vehicles, attend concerts/festivals, or many other different events that a town/city may have to offer! We love to meet new people and pets and explore new areas... or frequent favorited locations! We often miss the love of animals while on the road. So, house and pet sitting is perfect! We still get to give our love to your animals while on the road! We come to you and follow your instructions and routines as to not disrupt your pets natural environment and daily schedule! Simply put, your preferences will be our preferences depending on your pets needs whatever it is that will make your pet most comfortable! Please note we do not smoke or vape and prefer to stay at a non smoking house. Please let us know if you smoke in your house!

We recommend her as we feel she is a great dog sitter.”
