Safety, trust & environment

I am happy to come to a client's home for 30 minutes - 1 hour twice a day. I am happy to do whatever makes the cat or dog happy and feel comfortable in their routine. Their well being comes first!

Information Victoria C. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know about any routine specificities - is there an exact time to feed, play, medications, or walks. I do prefer a visit beforehand so that the cat/dog is comfortable around me. For medications I will request a trial visit to ensure they are comfortable around me!

A typical day

For dogs, I will take them on walks, a nearby park, etc. For cats, it largely depends on their personality. Cats that prefer a slower pace of life - I will give them individualized attention. I have specific specialized strategies for cats that are anxious! For cats that are high energy - I will provide stimulating activities with wands, swatting toys, tunnels etc.

Caring and Affordable Pet sitter

Pet care experience

I have been a cat and dog sitter for over 10 years. Experienced in administering medications (injections, syringes, pills, eye drops, you name it!) and caring for cats of all ages and personalities (specifically anxious pets). I am comfortable administrating all types of medications for all kinds of personalities (calm to anxious). I don’t believe a price can be put on caring for pets - I keep my rates affordable and quality of care high! Your pet’s well being comes first! Happy to spend time with pets based on their needs regardless of time constraints

Victoria took great care of my cats. My kitten was sick and she notified me immediately. I could not be happier. I'd definitely rebook.

Victoria was amazing! She took great care of my cat and gave her lots of attention and play time. She sent me a ton of photos and gave a very thorough update for each visit which I really appreciated. I will definitely ask for her help again!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
