Information Victoria F. would like to know about your pet

Because I have pets at home and take dogs to very exciting places (e.g. Liberty Park and Dog Lake), I like to know the following. It's okay if you don't know the answer to one of the questions: How does your dog do with other dogs? How does your dog do with other animals, including domestic and wild animals? How does your dog do ON leash? How does your dog do OFF leash? Does your dog have any dietary restrictions or allergies? Does your dog have any behavioral needs that I should be aware of (e.g. gets into food frequently, chews on things, etc.)?

A typical day

I work from home most of the day (I usually leave the house at 3:00, and my husband is home by 4:45), so your pup can expect lots of hugs, playtime, and a nice walk during her stay. I take every dog that stays with me on a nice walk around Liberty Park. If your dog is trail-trained and good off-leash with other pups and wildlife, I will find an excuse to take her on long hikes as well. My home has plenty of doggy beds for your pup to lounge on, and a 13-year-old lab mix to keep them company.

I train your dog on walks!

Pet care experience

NOTE TO THOSE NEEDING BOARDING: My dog, Tiger, is 13 years old and very wobbly, so I'm only boarding low-energy dogs that will give him the space and calm he needs. Sorry for the inconvenience. _____________________________________________________________________________ Dogs love me because I always carry treats. Doggy parents love me because I'm not afraid to use them!!! I provide complementary leash training with every dog that needs it. I also do complimentary training for dogs with moderate aggression and anxiety. My goal is to help a dog get to that point where a walk is fun for everyone involved--the pup, the walker, and anyone that might cross their path. Nothing makes me happier than, after months of hard work, getting that text from an aggressive dog's owner that says "Thanks for working so hard with my pup! I'm not afraid to walk her anymore!" I have been walking and training dogs professionally for 2 years and house sitting pets for over 5 years. I have a wide range of experience with husbandry for other animals, so rest assured that your dog and his lizard, fish, and birdy brethren will all be well cared for while you're away. I'm willing to work with and have experience with almost any animal except cats. I'm comfortable administering all sorts of medicines (including shots) if your pup or other animal should need it.

Victoria was such a wonderful walker for our dog Kula. She let us know how the walk went (with pictures) afterwards and I felt very comfortable knowing that Kula was in good hands. Kula can be a bit challenging to walk around other dogs, but I had complete confidence in Victoria's ability to handle her. This was my first Rover experience, and I'm grateful that it was with such a competent and kind person!

Victoria and her husband were great wih Caspian. He has some separation anxiety but they made sure he had plenty of love and activity until he settled in. I got daily updates on how he was doing and it looked like he had a great time.

Victoria and her husband were great with Chip, taking excellent care of him, and their dog Tiger is sweet and gentle. They shared pics and updated status telling us how chip was doing and how he was interacting/behaving in different situations and with their pets. They kept Chip active and happy, treating him like their own, and we found him in a very good mood and healthy. We would definitely recommend them!
