Tails & Trails Trusted Pet Care
Choosing a pet sitter is an act of trust, and I take that responsibility seriously. For years, I've been trusted to care for beloved pets and the homes they live in, and I would be honored to earn your trust as well. My goal is simple: to give you complete peace of mind, knowing your pet is safe, happy, and receiving the same thoughtful, attentive care you provide at home. I have decades of hands-on experience caring for dogs and cats of all ages, sizes, and personalities. Throughout my life, I've had the privilege of caring for my own pets as well as those of family and friends, including senior animals with special needs. I'm equally comfortable with small dogs, large breeds, energetic pets, and those who simply need a slower, gentler pace. Every pet is unique. I take the time to learn their routine, personality, and communication style so they feel safe, comfortable, and loved while you're away. I'm experienced with senior pets, shy or anxious animals, and multi-pet households. I'm also comfortable administering oral medications and injections when needed, while paying close attention to any changes in behavior or health. Whether I'm caring for your pet in your home or mine (when appropriate), you can expect dependable communication, regular photo updates, and patient, compassionate care. I'll treat your home with respect and your pet like a member of my own family. I look forward to meeting you and your furry family members!

Safety, trust & environment
I believe the best care starts with understanding each pet’s individual needs, routine, and personality. Whether I’m caring for your pet in your home or providing care in my own home (when appropriate), their safety, comfort, and well-being are always my top priorities. In your home, I will maintain your pet’s normal routine, including feeding schedules, walks, playtime, medication needs, and the familiar environment they know and trust. I’ll provide regular updates and photos so you can feel confident that your pet is happy and well cared for while you’re away. For pets staying in my home, I provide a safe, calm, and comfortable environment. I have a completely fenced and secure yard, and pets are welcome to relax indoors in a climate-controlled home environment at all times. Living in a warm climate, I am very mindful of heat safety and make sure pets are comfortable and never exposed to excessive temperatures. I also enjoy providing enrichment and exercise appropriate for each pet’s personality and energy level. When it’s a good fit, I’m happy to include friendly, social dogs in outings such as walks or trips to the dog park with my own dog, who is fully vaccinated, neutered, and enjoys the company of other dogs. Every pet is different, and my goal is always to provide dependable, loving care that feels as close to home as possible.
Ratings and reviews
Victoria is the only person I trust with my pets. People know Victoria as: The Dog Whisperer: My dog actually listens to her. The Snuggle Thief: She will steal your pet’s affection. The Photo Journalist: Expect 47 daily high-quality pet updates. Call em' "doggie selfies." The Treat Enabler: She cannot resist those puppy dog eyes. The Separation Anxiety Fixer: Your dog won't even miss you. The Bottom Line: Hire Victoria at your own risk. Your dog might try to move in with her permanently. She is clean, reliable, and wildly passionate about animals.
I’ve known Victoria through our local dog park, and she has cared for my dog many times, including overnight stays and drop-offs. She is kind, calm, highly responsible, and truly one of those special people that animals naturally trust. My dog absolutely loves her! In fact, when we’re at the dog park, he often runs straight to Victoria before coming to me! I’m usually very hesitant to leave my dog overnight with anyone, but I never worry when he’s with her. I know he is safe, happy, and receiving plenty of attention and affection. I recommend Victoria without hesitation to anyone looking for a dependable, caring, and genuinely animal-loving pet sitter.
Victoria has been absolutely wonderful with my dogs. She is experienced, dependable, warm, and genuinely loves the animals she cares for. What really stands out is how calm and capable she is if something unexpected comes up—you can tell she has the experience to handle whatever is needed. As a fellow Rover caregiver, I especially appreciate her excellent communication, reliability, and professionalism. She keeps me informed and gives me complete peace of mind whenever my dogs are with her. The best endorsement, though, comes from my dogs—they absolutely love her! They are always happy to see her, and it’s obvious she treats them with the same love and care she would her own. I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Victoria to anyone looking for a trustworthy, compassionate, and exceptional pet sitter.
