Reviews
Victoria and Kevin took such amazing care of Aero and they hands down would be our first pick if we had to leave Aero again. We truly felt as though Aero was staying with family based on the love and kindness he was shown during his stay. We got multiple pictures and videos daily of all the fun he was having and in all of them Aero was always happily wagging his tail and clearly having a good time. Thank you both so much for everything you did for Aero, we appreciate it from the bottom of our hearts! It really was such a relief to know that while we were gone, Aero was being so well taken care of.
Mimi stayed with Victoria for the first time and although I was nervous to leave her for a week, I'm so glad I did. She sent me messages about how she was doing and videos of her having a blast playing with the other dogs. I could tell by the way Mimi walked over for a goodbye pet when i picked her up that she was well cared for. I will be bringing her back the next time we go out of town.
We’ve left our Golden Retriever, Rocky, at Victoria's several times. She and her husband have exceptional pet-sitting services, and I must say, the experience has always been absolutely fantastic. First and foremost, Victoria's compassionate nature and genuine love for animals shone through in every interaction. It was evident that she truly cared about Rocky's well-being, treating him as if he were her own. This level of care and attention eased my worries and allowed me to enjoy my time away, knowing that Rocky was receiving top-notch care. She consistently sent me frequent pictures and updates via text, which instantly brought a smile to my face. It was heartwarming to witness the bond between Rocky and Dukey, Victoria's Golden Retriever. They quickly became best buddies, and the pictures showcased their playfulness and happiness. It's no wonder Rocky is reluctant to leave their place! If you're searching for a trustworthy and caring pet-sitter, I wholeheartedly recommend Victoria and her husband. They go above and beyond to ensure the happiness and well-being of your furry family members, and I am grateful to have found them. Rocky eagerly awaits his next stay with his friend Dukey and the exceptional care provided by Victoria!
We dropped our dog off (Bruno), less than 5 minutes after dropping of our dog, she texted us saying our dog was being mean & growling at the other dogs. It’s Normal for some dogs to growl at first. After 20 minutes she texted us saying to pick Bruno up & that should couldn’t take care of him, and it wouldn’t work out. Bruno has socialized with other dogs at the dog park and he gets along great, at home and at others home he’s friendly and calm. These 20 minutes cost us $71. I even sent videos to her of Bruno around other dogs to show her how Bruno is. NOT HAPPY

Information Victoria C. would like to know about your pet
How is your pup around other dogs (female/male)+(large/small), humans and in a new environment? Are they updated on flea/tick meds, shots and vaccinations? Are they house trained? Have they marked in new houses before/need a diaper? Any behavior I should know about? Ex: past trauma, food/toy aggression, separation anxiety, marking, excessive barking, destructive, dominant/timid, etc. What is their feeding instructions and do they have any food allergies/restrictions?
A typical day
Since we work remotely, we spend most weekdays playing fetch outside our backyard, playing with them with toys, or supervise while the pups play with each other. We go on walks everyday as well during the weekdays. On weekends we will go on hikes or to the beach, but this also depends on your pup’s recall. No dog parks since we can’t predict other dogs’ reactions/personalities. For this reason we also do not accept aggressive or destructive pups for our safety and other pups. We have a very large spacious fenced backyard where they can run around and play. We work from home so they are free to nap with we work or play alongside us. After their last potty break all the pups come in and sleep together in the living room. I will charge a $25 one time cleaning fee for potty accidents and/or if your pup marks the house. I also do not accept aggressive or sick dogs to ensure the safety and comfort of all the dogs that will be staying with us.

I have looked after dogs for over a decade now and cared for pups of all shapes and sizes. I only take up to 4 pups at a time (excluding our own), we believe in giving a white glove service to each pup and owner and devoting my full attention, love and care to each doggo. Both my husband and I work remotely at home full time so we have alot of flexibility with our schedules. Here’s what to expect: 8:30 AM- first potty break 9 AM- breakfast 12-1 PM- lunch if they eat three times a day 6 PM- dinner 8:30 PM- last potty break We have a magnetic screen door where our sliding door is so your pups are free to roam inside and outside wherever they please. They are allowed in furniture but not in our rooms. Please bring any bedding, toys or crates that make them feel the most comfortable! We do not crate unless you provide it. I do not take them to dog parks since we can’t predict other dogs’ reactions/personalities and health.
