Pet care experience

CT based cat and dog lover

I’m from Scotland and I now live in Hamden with my husband and my pets. I have over 10 years of experience caring for cats and dogs as a devoted pet landlord! I have two cats, Artemis and Apollo, both shorthair tuxedoes, who are incredibly friendly and relaxed. My littlest has asthma so I am very skilled at administering medication and caring for sick pets. I also have a little Malshi puppy called Doug who is potty trained, LOVES other dogs and cats, is hypoallergenic, and and all round little snowball of love. I absolutely love caring for animals and am I pretty much always have Doug with me!

Tofu stayed with Victoria for a week and had the absolute best time! He was best friends with her dog Doug by the end and really enjoyed all the walks and time in their backyard. Victoria was very responsive and sent us updates every morning and evening with photos and videos. Thank you Victoria for taking such good care of Tofu!

Gretchen had a blast with Doug (Victoria’s dog). They’re new best friends. Very communicative and caring. Highly recommend and will use again.

Victoria loves dogs more than anyone I've ever met, and the feeling is mutual. Every dog she meets greets her enthusiastically. She is also a pet owner, and treats every pet as well as she does her own. She would be a wonderful, dutiful caregiver for a dog.
