I’ve been house and pet sitting for friends for awhile now and have led a digital nomad life around the world in 45 countries and counting since 2010. Thought I’d give this platform a try as I’m in transition and planning to settle down in California permanently while checking out more areas to see what’s a long term fit. I love animals, playing beach volleyball, and run my own digital marketing agency of 15 years that has always been remote-first so have a very flexible schedule that I create. Looking forward to caring for your home and pets!

About Victoria C.
Communication
Dog skills
Safety, trust & environment
I grew up on a farm in northern Canada and it sustained our family so I have a lot of experience with pets and many animals, from our own dogs and cats, to rabbits, cattle, pigs and chickens. I’ve lived in many cities around the world since and also had additional pets throughout life and have often been asked to care for friend's and family’s pets and homes over the years. I absolutely love it because I move around a lot and do not have my own at the moment.
Information Victoria C. would like to know about your pet
I like to understand if there are special needs for the dogs or habits to note that are out of the ordinary. Flexible since I work remotely and create my own days!
A typical day
Depending on the dog, we'll play their favorite games, whether that be fetch at the park, or going on a faster walk or hike to a more nature-filled area.

Pet care experience
Giving your pets so much love, while leaving your home better than when you left. Grew up on a farm in Canada with many animals, while also having pets over the years since. In addition to providing reliable and loving care for your pet(s) and home, I also offer Animal Reiki sessions and gentle energetic space clearing—helping your pet feel calmer and your home feel refreshed and balanced while you’re away.
Reviews
My name is Emma Greenberg, and I’m writing this testimonial for Victoria Chemko, who is not only a dear friend of mine but also someone I trust completely with the love of my life—my sweet puppy, Moon. Moon isn’t just a dog to me—she’s family, my baby, my heart—and I only trust her with a very select few people. Victoria is one of those rare individuals. She’s taken care of Moon many times, and every single time, I feel at peace knowing she’s in the most loving, capable hands. Victoria walks Moon daily, gives her baths, feeds her, cuddles her, and just pours so much genuine warmth and care into their time together. Moon absolutely adores her—and I do too. On top of that, she always takes incredible care of my home. I come back to a space that’s not only clean, but somehow looks better than when I left it. It’s like she brings this gentle, loving energy into everything she does. Victoria is responsible, trustworthy, warm, and has the kind of heart that animals (and people) just feel safe with. If you have the chance to book her, do it—you won’t find anyone better.
Victoria is the most trustworthy and loving pet caregiver I have ever had. She’s incredibly gentle withy dog and always treats my home with care and respect. I have counted on her for years and feel so lucky to have found her. She brings peace of mind every time I am away. Highly, highly recommend!
Victoria is top tier ! Not even joking. From her attention to detail to her calm energy that animals tend to gravitate towards. If you’re looking for ease while leaving your beloved family members in the care of someone I would highly recommend her. She would help care for my very tiny 2lb chihuahua foster and 2 tiny senior yorkies (who I would NOT leave with just anyone! They had the best time! They were so happy and comfortable with all the lap time and cuddles. Even when I got back home they were so happy to see me and at the same time would run to Victoria to jump back in her lap to show me how much they love her too 🥰 Aside from being a great pet guardian she is tidy and organized! And detail oriented. Extremely responsible! I trust her so much that She has even hangout for a bit with 2 pets i sit myself from time to time effortlessly! And yes they were so happy too 🤩
Victoria stayed at our house to watch our beloved dog, Lucie, for just over a week. She took great care of her, taking her for multiple long, off-leash walks/hikes per day and giving her lots of love in between. We came home to a very happy, tired, and more fit dog! Lucie adored her. Victoria was also very tidy and we came home to our house just as we left it. I would highly recommend Victoria for dog walking / pet sitting!
