It's all about the structured walks
Pet care experience
I'm a professional dog walker ready to serve everyone and every dog in the Capital Region. I love dogs and we work well together. I'm ready to treat your dog to a well-structured walk to exercise both the mind and the body. This will reduce unwanted behavior and create a happier and healthier dog. I've been around dogs all of my life. I am in tune with their body language and I can assess their needs at all times. Did you know that dogs will tell you what they like and dislike? The best thing about them is that they don't lie so if you listen closely they will tell you exactly what they need and what they're feeling. I've recently given up a career as a programmer to pursue my dream of working with animals. This is the first stepping stone. I know how to work with senior and special need dogs. I am currently taking a class to become pet first aid and CPR certified. I can also administer injections and medicine to your pets. I look forward to meeting and working with you and your pup.
Reviews
My dog loves Victo! He not only walks him, but provides him with interaction with other dogs, mental stimulation, and takes the beats pictures. I always look forward to his updates, and will continue to use him regularly as long as my pooch needs a sitter.
I've known Victor for several years. His own dogs are extremely well-socialized and well-behaved and I think that speaks volumes about the love and attention he gives them. I've trusted him to help with my two puggles (who are far less well-behaved) and been very happy with the results.
Full disclosure: I am Victor’s wife. When I first met Victor I had very little dog exposure. I wasn’t intune to their body language, posture, ear movements, those cues you need to read to understand your dog. When I met Victor he came with a sweet and very energetic 60 pound dog named Jake. I loved Jake from the beginning but I had no idea how to safely walk him. With Victor Jake would walk right beside him very nicely and quietly. With me he would pull at the leash, bark and not know what to do. Once Victor and I moved in together he started to teach me. Within 5 minutes of Victor showing me what to do, Jake was no longer pulling on the leash. After 2 walks I was able to walk Jake by myself. I am now able to walk him for an hour by myself every day and keep us both safe. We have since inherited Lucy, my parents yellow lab. She is elderly and has lots of special needs. Watching Victor work with her and teach me how to keep her safe and happy has been amazing. It really helps me to know how happy we’re making my Dad’s best friend.
Vic is an awesome dog dad! I'd definitely trust him with my own dog seeing how he takes such great care of his own happy and healthy pup. If you are looking for someone to treat your dog like family, Vic is your guy!
