Animal lover looking to help
Pet care experience
I’ve had animals my whole life, loved and taken care of many pets for friends and family on and off for the last 6 years and recently worked at a pet daycare/boarding facility for 1.5 years! I have boarded at my own home, popped in for visits and walks, stayed overnight at others houses to take care of their pets, and watched pets for the day outside of the daycare/boarding facility as well. Some of the pets I’ve cared for were elderly and sick, so I have experience with specific dietary and medication needs. I have been in charge of medication administration and feeding requirements for over 100+ dogs at a time and make it a point to be very intentional about my time when doing so versus rushing and risking a mistake. I love all animals so if you have special requirements of care, please feel free to message me so we can discuss if I’m the right support fit!
Reviews
Victoria took great care of our pup. She was really accommodating and we appreciated the pics/updates she sent!
Tori has been great. She has watched my dog for a couple of years now. If you are looking for someone with a genuine understanding and appreciation for your pet, I couldn't recommend someone better.
To whom it may concern: Your family members are in wonderful hands with Tori! I had the pleasure of working with Tori at a dog hotel for an entire year, where she went above and beyond the call of duty on every shift! From coming in early, to staying late whenever needed her first priority was making sure all of the animals and employees were taken care of. Tori's competency and trustworthiness has won her the added friendships of clients from the neighborhood where she cares for their fur babies on playdates with her own fur children :) You can enjoy worry-free vacations and date nights when Tori is at your home or your family members are with her! I highly recommend her and trust her with the lives of my two cats and challenging, reactive dog!
Victoria has cared for our 4 large dogs overnight many times. Her love of animals and the care she provided was evident by her attention to detail while in my home. She administered medication to one that was I’ll. She provided daily text up dates including photos. She ensure they were well cared for and exercised daily. I would highly recommend Victoria as a pet caregiver.

Safety, trust & environment
I have a studio apartment which may not be the best for dogs who are used to big spaces but it does allow constant supervision and several snuggle spots 🙂 There is a walking path and a dog park at my apartment so plenty of outdoor exercise and play space as well. I have a tile shower which is easy to get animals in and out of for a bath if they need it as well. I also stay often with my partner who lives on a farm with tons of outdoor space, a fenced in dog area, and comes with the perk of playing with our two dogs if your dog is dog friendly! As in other sections, please message with any specific requests for your pets and we can discuss how I might be a good fit 🙂
