Passionate. Dedicated. Animal Lover

Pet care experience

Greetings, I have worked at many kennels and dog boarding facilities, where I myself as an owner, a lover of animals would rather have a individual dedicated pet lover care for my furry-beings. I love working as a pet care giver. Why? Because I know that I am there to do the job right. By that, this is more than a job, this is my passion, my heart and my skill. My goal for myself, is to make sure the owners of their furry loved ones gain 120% trust in me. Knowing your pets are in the best hands. I get to know the owners needs for their animals. As well as your animals needs. Such as, pets behaviors (when owners leave; Anxiety, and learning how to help alleviate your dog/cat(s) fears). Animals have a huge way of speaking to people, or other animals through body language. (Knowing what your pet's body language is saying, such as alertness or 'I am triggered' by certain things or animals. I consider special needs animals, as ones who have handicaps or separation anxiety/ aggression (scared) to other animals. To me this means, I the sitter whose physicaly worked with specially needs dogs knows how to properly help them adapt and work with there needs. Last but not least, professionalism and confidence is a must for me. So when working as a pet caregiver I give my all. Sincerely, Victoria 'Vicky' * I have over 7 years of pet care experience, and so much love to give your furry family members. I can not wait to meet your rascals of furr.

I recently engaged Vicky to watch my pitt mix, Butter, for an entire week. I was hesitant at first because she doesn't have a car. But, she was one of the best dog sitters that I've ever had. She arrived on time via bus and stayed in my home for the whole week. She was loving, attentive and best of all communicative. Vicky loves animals and it's apparent when she's with them. She's very intuitive and is quite adept at meeting their needs. She texted and talked with me whenever she had a question about the house or the dog and she texted pictures throughout the day. It's never a bother to receive a texted picture when you've left your pup behind! She took long walks and several times throughout the day to keep my dog exercised. She even woke up in the middle of the night when needed to take the dog out when she was awakened. The true test was that the dog never left her side and sat on her lap at every opportunity. I loved being involved with my dog's care throughout the week and most especially loved knowing everything that was going on throughout the day. When I arrived home, the house was clean and everything was in order. She is knowledgeable about her bus schedule, prompt and most importantly she is reliable and on time! I highly recommend her for walking, and dog and house sitting. I can't wait to go away and hire her again. 10 Stars to Vicky ! !

I am a calming, attentive, reliable person. I have not yet met an animal that I am not able to build trust and or a bond with. I will make sure your pet(s) are safe and well cared for.

Information Victoria A. would like to know about your pet

Are there any activity restrictions for your pup? Does your pooch have aggressive manners towards other animals on leash or in general? Does your dog present signs of separation anxiety? Is there any history of previous experience with your dog acting oddly towards another human or child? Does your dog have Allergies? What is your dog's most favorite treat? What are his/her Allergies? What is the most likely treat, toy, noise they are most likely to come to you if they were to escape?

A typical day

I like to work on training, basic commands and playing with toys, lots of cuddles and some naps. I am an active person and seeing pets happy makes me even more happy. I love nature, so I can look for a trail that is close by that we have not tried before, or I can go on a familiar walk that your fur babies loves to go on with there pet parents.
