Pet care experience

Certified Dog Auntie & Cat Queen

I've been a pet-owner, pet-sitter, dog aunty, shelter volunteer, and all-round animal aficionado my entire life. I grew up in Houston where I have always been the family pet-carer when anyone goes out of town. This is my 4th year living in Door County where I've been volunteering weekly at the animal shelter and spending my summers taking all my friends' dogs hiking and camping.

Safety, trust & environment

My aim for animal care is to create a feeling of companionship for both myself and the pets. I'm an active person and enjoy high energy pets who love a lot of walking and playtime. As someone who has always had a deep reverence for animals I also have a particular soft spot for shy pets and earning an animal's trust through patience and respect of their boundaries.

Victoria is a perfect sitter in every way you could want. Available and responsive, very respectful and a great companion to your pets. Not only does she go above and beyond to make sure they are taken care of, but she engages with them and forms a strong bond to keep them happy and content while you are away. Look no further, she’s the one. Thank you Victoria!!

Victoria took fantastic care of our animals!! She sent beautiful pictures ever day! They loved her and she loved them! Our return flight had a problem, so we asked her to come back to let the dog out at 10:00 pm and she was happy to do it!

Victoria was awesome to work with and went over and above to provide great care for our senior kitty while we were on vacation.

Victoria was great for dropping in on my 3 cats while we were away for a long weekend. She was able to accommodate short notice, and sent lots of pictures. Even my shy cat didn't hide when she stopped over. Will use her again in the future.

Victoria was an amazing pet sitter for us! We have an active Australian shepherd and Victoria took him on multiple walks and adventures everyday. This was the first time we’ve had someone other than family watch our dog, and it was so nice and reassuring to see that he had a great time with her. We would definitely recommend booking Victoria and would 100% do so again.

Victoria house sat for our three dogs and was amazing. We have an older Frenchie with some medical issues, and Mut who is a little clingy and an Alaskan Malamute with some attitude and she handled them all great. She also left our house in great shape and was so tidy. We will definitely be using her again!

I would like to know your dog's general history especially if there was a previous owner to ensure I avoid any triggers or behaviors that could put them on edge. Let me know how your dog reacts to other pets, new people, or being walked in new places. Please tell me if they've had any leash training so I can follow any protocols that they are used to.
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.
