Safety, trust & environment

I check in multiple times a day catering to your pets’ usual schedule, along with overnight stays if you prefer. I spend at least an hour a day playing with your pups to make sure they get their energy used up.

Information Victor M. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your pet has any specifics that I should know about, i.e if they have any medication or even if they typically have a treat after a walk.

A typical day

We will spend time doing different enrichment activities, getting lots of playtime, brushing out their coats, and walks with plenty of stops to smell who's been around the neighborhood.

Pet care experience

I’m the go-to sitter + walker if you ask my regulars. For the past four years I’ve had experience with all breeds from dachshunds to Bernese, and all types of personalities. I also have skills in potty training puppies and leash training.

Victor went above and beyond while house/dog-sitting for us when we took a long vacation. He was very attentive to our dog and took excellent care of our home. He was very communicative. He's reliable and professional. We recommend him without hesitation and hope to hire him again.

When leaving town, a dog owner worries about his pet. I prefer not to use kennels. Victor stays with my dog and I come back to a happy dog, which is very apparent. I live downtown and after I return, I often hear from others that they have seen my happy bernese mountain dog walking with Victor. My dog is well fed, given attention and never disregarded. I know of no other dog sitter better than Victor. I am deeply indebted to him for his care of my dog Fred.

There are not enough words of expression in the english language to tell you what a wonderful person Victor is. I feel so blessed to have found him and he has become a part of our family. He has stayed with my dogs on many occasions while I was on vacation taking excellent care of them and also keeping a watch on my home. I can go on vacation and fully relax and enjoy myself when he is in my home. He walks my dogs 2 times a week and they cannot wait for his arrival. My older dog requires great patience as he is slow & he loves Victor. My neighbors have asked me "who is walking your dogs?" I tell them and I say why do they ask? Well, they say it is obvious how much he loves your dogs, he is SO kind and patient with them. A persons character is defined by what they do when no one is watching. :)
