Ratings and reviews
Victoria is the best cat sitter you could ask for!
Victoria is the best. My shy, hide in the couch baby was excited to see her for belly rubs / pets. I feel very lucky to have Victoria as a back up. She is simply awesome!
Victoria was great with our cats as always! We could not ask for a better sitter.
Fantastic, awesome, wonderful. Victoria is the cat whisperer. My cat, Sir Albert Meeps III, doesn’t let many people in his bubble. He was so comfy with her, she was petting his belly on the second night.🥰
Wow! Victoria was SUCH a nice caretaker for Bersi. She went above and beyond, and I can’t thank her enough for all that she did. Her wonderful updates made me feel a little less homesick while I was traveling. And I’m so glad Bersi enjoyed himself. And the special surprise Victoria left for me when I got home just made my day! She took a wonderful picture of Bersi and turned it into artwork I can hang in my living room. She gave me something I have wanted for a long time. Thank you!
Victoria did a splendid job. Couldn't be happier. Her updates were fun and her photos were great. She stayed longer than we requested and the cats didn't seem as excited as they normally do to see us, so that meant they were well taken care of! We'll certainly hire her again.

Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Outside of my natural nursing instincts in wanting to help others, my profession has also made me someone mindful of the environment and the ones I am caring for. Safety is a top priority. Regardless of whether the care provided is in your home or mine, you know you will be comfortable leaving your fur babies in my hands. I effectively multi-task, where I can be the "fun friend" for your pet while maintaining a safe environment. I believe it is essential to not only be aware of the surroundings and assess various safety factors of the environment but also to be mindful of the animals, their behaviors, and the situation.
Pets
A typical day
Dogs and Cats are like people, and their likes, dislikes, and interests can vary greatly. I believe it is essential to get to know each one individually and personally to learn about their daily routines and likes and dislikes. A typical day will undoubtedly include activities your pet is used to doing. So whether it is going on a walk to explore the neighborhood, spending a day at the beach, or just chilling on the sofa getting a doggy or kitty message, our time spent together will be enjoyable. But their stay with me will also include enrichment activities, which gives the pet a sense of control and reduces stress. I will not only get them physically moving but get their minds active, too. Some enrichment activities include scavenger hunts, puzzles, scent games, learning and playing a new game or with a new toy, or even something as simple as blowing bubbles. The enrichment activities for cats versus dogs may be similar in some aspects, but the puzzles or games may vary, and the items used can differ. In all, your pet will have so much fun with me; they will ask you when you're planning on leaving next!

- Just as you would with a child, there are important things a care giver and sitter must know about your pet prior to providing care. I believe it is important to sit down with the family, and the pets, to discuss and complete an assessment with key information. Some of these items include: the house rules, understand what is expected of you as the provider, learning about the pet's temperament and triggers, identifying health or medical issues, allergies, and dietary restrictions, daily routine, emergency contact information, and veterinary information.
