Champion Care for your Pets!

What Sets Victory Lap Apart At Victory Lap , every animal is treated like a champion. By providing more than just boarding — victory lap offer a safe, enriching environment designed for comfort, play, and personalized care. I have hands-on experience with pets of all breeds, ages, and temperaments, from energetic puppies and kittens learning basic training to seniors needing extra patience, attention, and gentle routines. I focus on individualized care — from customized feeding and medication schedules to supervised playtime and socialization. My facility is designed with both fun and relaxation in mind, featuring clean, spacious runs, soft bedding, and outdoor play areas with room to run. I am not just a sitter — I am a passionate caretaker who understand that your pet's happiness, health, and trust come first. Every stay ends with a tail wag and a Victory Lap.

Caterina was so accommodating when I had to leave town last minute for a trip. She took great care of my boy and sent lots of pictures and updates. Can’t recommend enough!

Caterina took the most amazing care of our beagle. She handled an emergency situation quickly and competently. I am so grateful to her for providing loving home-like care for Teddy.

Excellent communication and dog-loving household for boarding. Our dog was well taken care of by Cate and family, who welcomed her along with their 2 nice dogs. Great location for us. Everything worked out great and we'll be returning soon!
