Pet care experience

Loving sitter for dogs/cats

Hi! We’re James and Victoriya, a pet-loving team who treat every animal in our care with the same love and attention we give our own dog and cats. For us, pets are family—they’re cherished, cared for, and spoiled a little along the way! I, Victoriya, handle all boarding care and administrative tasks, including answering questions, confirming bookings, and sending updates and photos so owners can feel confident and connected while their pets are with us. We love welcoming dogs and cats for boarding—many of our furry friends know each other from previous stays and are always excited to catch up and play together. For cats, we have a designated boarding room with a comfortable setup designed to keep them relaxed and stress-free, since we know how territorial they can be. Our secure, fenced backyard gives dogs plenty of space to run and explore, and we take them outside every couple of hours—they are never left unattended while outside. We have lots of toys, and returning pets know exactly where to find their favorites. James is a retired military veteran with a calm, patient, and friendly personality that pets immediately respond to. He handles drop-in visits and dog walking for both dogs and cats, caring for pets of all sizes and personalities. He has a knack for understanding each pet’s quirks, giving them confidence, comfort, and attention while keeping them safe and happy. We also have experience caring for senior pets and pets with special needs, both dogs and cats, providing them with extra patience, love, and gentle care. Whether it’s a short visit or an extended stay, our goal is to make every pet feel happy, comfortable, and part of our family while they’re with us.

We feel incredibly lucky to have found Victoriya. Our cats are not an easy group to care for... they are all special-needs cats with complex medical issues, including epilepsy, and one requires multiple medications twice daily. Finding someone we trust with their care is extremely difficult, but Victoriya exceeded every expectation. She handled all of his medications flawlessly, was reliable, attentive, and clearly cared about each of our cats as individuals. Managing multiple cats with different medical needs requires patience, organization, and dedication, and she did an outstanding job. Throughout our trip, we had peace of mind knowing they were in such capable hands. What impressed us most was how comfortable and cared for our cats were when we returned home. It was obvious they had received excellent care and attention while we were away. We have already booked Victoriya for our next trip, which says everything about the confidence we have in her. If you have pets with medical needs or simply want someone trustworthy, compassionate, and dependable, we cannot recommend her highly enough. She is truly a gem, and we are so grateful to have found her!

Safety, trust & environment

When caring for pets, whether in our own home, we prioritize their safety, comfort, and happiness above all else. In our home, we provide a warm and welcoming environment where pets can feel at ease and enjoy their stay. We treat them as if they were my own, providing them with love, attention, and plenty of playtime.

Pets

A typical day

As a professional dog caregiver, a typical day begins early in the morning. The first task of the day is to attend to the pets in my care, providing them with food and fresh water. After that, I take them out to get some exercise to help them burn off some energy. Throughout the day, I make sure to provide them with plenty of playtime and attention, engaging them in fun activities such as playing fetch, tug-of-war, or hide and seek. When it's time for their afternoon nap, I provide them with a comfortable place to rest. In the evening, I make sure that they are fed and watered before bedtime. I always aim to provide the dogs with a stimulating and enjoyable experience during their stay with me.

As a dog caregiver, I always want to make sure that I provide the best possible care for the dogs under my supervision. If you're planning to leave your furry friend in my care, it would be helpful for me to know some important information ahead of time. For instance, let me know if your dog has any medical conditions or allergies that I should be aware of, or if they require any special medications. It's also important for me to know your dog's temperament and behavior (such as whether they are friendly with other dogs, cats and humans), their likes and dislikes, so that I can cater to their individual needs and preferences. If there are any special dietary requirements or restrictions that I should know about, please inform me in advance. By having this information, I can ensure that your dog receives the proper care and attention they need while they're with me.
