Dog Lover Looking to Share Home

Pet care experience

I have always had pets all my life and raised them from puppies to seniors. I have watched our friends pets while they are away, even those with special needs. Now that my own boys have passed and I took care of them through their senior years, I know what it is like to find someone to trust to take care of them while away. I've been there and understand the needs and worries you may have. You can place your trust in me as I want to give back the love that my boys gave me.

Vic is awesome and Chester always comes home happy. Chester has stayed with Vic twice and we just booked a third vacation for our little guy with Vic.

Most dog owners would agree that their pets become a loving part of their family. When our Max needed to spend a few days away from home, insuring the proper care was a top priority. Without a doubt, Vic provided that special care. Vic is caring, knowledgeable, and organized. He has a genuine love of animals. Max had a wonderful time and we won't hesitate to leave him in Vic's care. I'm sure Max is looking forward to his next visit. L&V

Wonderful pet sitter for our ten year old Pomeranian! Vic was the perfect sitter for our dog named Wally. Vic quickly responded to our inquiry about availability and we were able to easily book our dog sitting appointment. Vic was very well prepared for having our dog (beds, toys, etc.) and made him feel right at home. We got several updates with pictures so we could see that Wally was happy and relaxed. Vic took Wally out for walks and played with toys. Vic was very comfortable having a ten year old dog and I felt so relieved to know he had so much experience. I would recommend Vic without hesitation and would go back to use his services again in a heartbeat. Thanks for taking such good care of our little man, Wally! He had a great stay!

Our dogs are absolutely our babies and if we can't bring them with us, we have had Vic watch them -- for over 15 years. He feels about dogs the way we do and treats them as members of his family; spoiling them and giving them tons of attention and love. I had the pleasure to know his two dogs before they passed and see how amazingly they were treated and how well they were loved -- Vic extends that to every dog in his presence. Beyond that, Vic is also great and has experience with special needs dogs. He used to watch our blind dog (who needed multiple eye drops in a specific order many times a day) and now takes the best care of our baby who has a blood sugar issue: Vic goes the extra mile that we do (making different meals for him if he won't eat, hand feeding him to get him to eat, giving him his medicine whenever he shows symptoms) to ensure he gets the best care. I worry that sharing how great Vic is will make his schedule book up (because then who will we use) but I also want other dog parents to know there is truly a caretaker out there who, if your babies can't be with you, he is the next best thing.
