Highlights
Pet care experience
I've never met a pet I didn't love.
My mom is a veterinarian, so I grew up around animals of every kind. Over the years I've rescued and fostered a lot of dogs and cats of all types, puppies, seniors, shy ones, high-energy ones. I'm the person my friends call when they need someone to watch their pets. I'm comfortable with medications and feeding schedules, and I'm patient with animals that need time to warm up. I've been called a cat whisperer more than once.

Safety, trust & environment
I'm big on clear communication. Before the first visit I'll confirm the details that matter like feeding, meds, leash and door habits, what to do if something comes up, and I'll check in with photos and updates so you know how things are going. In your home I stick to your routine and leave things as I found them. My goal is that you come back to a calm pet and a house that looks like nothing happened.
Ratings and reviews
Victor was a super great dog and house sitter. Tonio was happy, the house was clean and the sheets were in the laundry when we got home. He was particularly good with Tonio who can be a little aggressive and bossy. Victor was firm but kind and Tonio fell in line. Victor even fixed something that needed repair in the house while we were gone which was so generous! Above and beyond.
Victor was so great with our dogs!! Took time with them so they could feel comfortable.
Victor is fantastic! He will absolutely be our weekly walking partner for our dog. He is professional and a delight to work with. I highly recommend Victor for your pets!
I am very pleased to write about Victor's love and care for pets and all animals in general. He is super pet friendly and also very good about training them and keep them well behaved. His own dog, Baxter, is a very good boy! When caring for a pet Victor constantly send pics and keeps us updated of how the day is going. I found that Victor is also good identifying when a pet might not be feeling his best and always shows great concern for their safety and health. Lucky pets will have a chance to meet him, I know they will love Victor!
Victor is excellent with animals. He has trained several dogs over the years. He trained them in voice commands and also things like not to leave the front yard unless you are on a leash. He is also good with cats. I have some barn cats they dont like people but he is one the only people who can actually pet them.
It would be difficult to find someone who genuinely cares for the wellbeing of animals as much as Victor does. Not only will he take care of all your pets needs, he will go above and beyond to make sure your pets are actually happy and having a good time while you’re away.

Schedule
I'm freelancing, so my schedule is flexible. Weekdays I have no set commitments, and I'm available most weekends. That means I can usually accommodate early mornings, mid-day visits, or last-minute requests.

- Anything you think matters, you know your pet best. The things I always ask about: any medical needs or medications, behavioral concerns, how they do around other dogs and people, leash or door-dashing habits, and food or treat restrictions. Special instructions are welcome, the more specific the better.
