Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine, as I structure my days around the needs of the pets in my home. From morning feedings and walks/playtime to evening wind-downs, I make sure each pet gets consistent attention, exercise, and care. Since I spend a lot of time at home, I’m able to provide frequent check-ins, supervision, and companionship throughout the day. On a weekly basis, I maintain a clean, safe environment and stick to each pet’s routine as closely as possible to help them feel comfortable and stress-free. Caring for animals isn’t something I fit in—it’s something I genuinely prioritize and enjoy every day.

Safety, trust & environment

I provide attentive, personalized care based on each pet’s individual needs and routine. In my home, pets are treated like part of the family in a safe, clean, and comfortable environment. I stick closely to their normal schedule for feeding, potty breaks/litter box care, exercise, and rest to help them feel at ease. Dogs get plenty of playtime, walks, and attention, while cats have a calm space with cozy areas to relax, along with play and interaction on their terms.

Information Victoria A. would like to know about your pet

I like to learn as much as possible about each pet ahead of time so I can provide the best care. It’s important for me to know their daily routine (feeding schedule, potty/litter habits, sleep preferences), temperament, and energy level. I also ask about any medical needs, allergies, or medications, as well as any triggers, fears, or behavioral quirks. For dogs, I like to know how they do with other dogs, people, and new environments. For cats, I ask about their comfort level with new spaces and whether they prefer more interaction or independence. The more details you can share, the better I can make your pet feel safe, comfortable, and right at home while you’re away!

A typical day

I love keeping pets happy, engaged, and comfortable with a mix of fun and relaxing activities based on their personality! For dogs, that includes walks, playtime with toys, fetch, and lots of attention and cuddles. If they’re more active, we’ll get their energy out with longer play sessions, and if they’re more laid-back, we’ll keep things calm and cozy. For cats, I offer interactive play with toys, gentle attention, and plenty of cozy spots for lounging and napping. I always follow their lead—whether they want to play, explore, or just relax nearby. No matter the pet, I make sure they feel safe, loved, and entertained while keeping their routine as consistent as possible.

Thank you Victoria for taking wonderful care of our dog Eddie. It was a pleasure to meet her family during the meet and greet. I was very grateful for the photo updates. Eddie was happy and very well cared for and they made him feel right at home. Thank you again. Victoria is kind, warm, gentle and loves dogs.

Victoria was great with my dog and made the whole experience really easy. She was reliable, communicative, and clearly comfortable around animals. My dog came back happy and well taken care of, and I appreciated the updates along the way. I’d definitely trust her again for walks or check-ins, especially for shorter outings.

Victoria was EXCELLENT with my dog. He absolutely adored her and you can tell instantly that she loves dogs. She was attentive and caring to my dog. I felt a huge relief knowing my dog was being well cared for and safe. I will absolutely be using Victoria again in the future.

Victoria is fantastic. I have a twelve year old Springer Spaniel who has had a stroke and is deaf. She was so kind with him. She made me feel completely comfortable leaving him in her care. I highly recommend Victoria!
