Pet care experience
Hi! I’m Victor! I love animals! Over the past 6 years or so friends and clients have hired me to pet sit, dog walk, drop in on their cat, look after the puppy, feed the bunny, you name it!! I’ve got tons of animal experience from being out in nature so often in my life. My older brother worked for the zoo when I was growing up, I held all sorts of reptiles and birds. As a triathlete I exercise daily, so adding your dog to the routine is a great way to spice things up! Although I’ll do my best to match your dog’s energy. Getting excited enough for a run is a good thing, but calmness has value too. I do command training whilst out and about with your dog reinforced with treats and/or attention. I try to care for your pet as best I can while you’re away.
Reviews
We found Victor through that other dog walking app. Finding the right person for our strong and dog reactive lab was challenging but Victor was just what we needed. Victor has always been reliable, we’ve used him for walks and sitting at our place. Everytime we have felt at ease knowing he’s taking care of our dog, Moose. He is easy to communicate with and you can tell he really cares about animals. I’d highly recommend him to anyone looking.
I have had several different caregivers for my dog before Victor, and absolutely none other than him since. He is simply the best. He always has a great attitude, shows up with a smile, and clearly loves animals. He has no problem walking my dog for miles (and even carrying him some of the way!), and still makes time to play with him. I've never had him accidentally lock himself out, show up late, or cancel (last minute or not). It's rare to find someone as reliable, talented, and just a pleasure to work with on these apps, so if you've had issues with your caregivers in the past, look no further. Victor's your guy!
Victor is absolutely amazing with animals. He truly cares about their wellbeing and goes above and beyond to make sure they get what they need, whether it be walks, feeding, or just playing with them. He really is wonderful with pets and a delight to meet. One time he even left a wedding to make sure a dog was taken care of when asked of him by a friend. If there’s anyone to watch your pets, Victor is the guy.
Victor has been my go to dog sitter/walker for a year now! He’s so diligent and detailed in caring for my pet and now my friends’ pets!
About Victor C.
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I wake up to do exercises before taking the dog out on what aims to be a long morning walk. Especially if we didn’t get out the night before. This ranges from 3-12 miles depending on how much time we have. Upon returning, breakfast, stretches and playtime. At this point, if I have work, I step out until I’m finished and then return for an afternoon walk, dinner, stretches, and a relief walk before zzz. Without work I’ll cuddle with the dog, clean up the place, cook some food, do various training exercises with the dog, or go out on extra walks. I don’t offer boarding services at my place unfortunately.

I wrote out a few paragraphs about this earlier, but it didn’t save, just ask and I’ll give a run down of what I typically do!

Availability
I have two dogs that I see regularly twice a week for runs. Besides that my pet care schedule varies week to week with the weather. When I have work it’s often in 3-4 hour increments or 7-9 hours during the day if I’m full-time. Currently I am part-time so I have availability to be certain your pet has attention all throughout the day, alone for 3 hours at the longest. Typically I walk the dogs I sit for about 2-4 hours over the course of 2 walks and 2 relief breaks to get outside. I believe it’s important for dogs to be outside and experience smells. It’s so cute to see them sniff around!
