Reviews
Victoria is absolutely amazing! She is very quick to respond and immediately made a connection with my two dogs upon their first interaction. She even made sure to send a picture of my pups during her visit with them! I’m super happy to have found her, she makes me feel comfortable knowing that my dogs are in good hands while I’m away!
5⭐️!! Victoria was so great for our puppy. She was more than what we expected. We will definitely book again!
Victoria was fantastic! She was incredibly sweet and accommodating to my Penny’s needs, as Penny has some general anxiety in new settings. Victoria was patient and kind, as well as super informative about Pennys behavior/eating habits/etc during her stay, and I knew penny was in great hands. Looks like we found our official boarder and will most definitely refer to Victoria for future boarding needs ☺️ thank you!
Wonderful experience with Victoria. I knew from the moment I dropped my Ellie off she would be taken care of and loved on. Anytime I checked in Victoria was quick to respond with pictures and updates. Will definitely be booking with Victoria again in the future.
About Victoria C.
Communication
Skills
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.

Information Victoria C. would like to know about your pet
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.
A typical day
Dogs and Cats are like people, and their likes 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!
