Going out of town? No worries!

Pet care experience

I'm a current animal trainer and zookeeper at the Living Desert Zoo. I have a lot of experience taking care of animals that have medical problems, behavioral issues, and animals that could just use some attention and play time. I have pets of my own and I understand how hard it can be to go out of town and not be able to board or not wanting to board your pets with expensive boarding facilities where you're pets don't feel safe at home. With me you'll know you're pets are safe, comfortable and looked after well.

Victoria took care of my two dogs. Teddy is a large 13 year old with multiple health issues, difficulty getting up, and required a special diet with medications. Chai is an untrained rambunctious bundle of love that needs lots of attention and playtime. Victoria made sure all of their needs were met. I also appreciated that she has a bachelors in animal science and a secondary degree caring for a variety of animals including domestic pets, as well as wild animals that would be in a zoo. It is clear that she has a huge heart for animals. You can trust her with the important responsibility of exercising and caring for your cherished fuzzy family member & home environment.

Information Victoria F. would like to know about your pet

Knowing whether your dog likes to be around other dogs, takes to new people well, or has any training experience in the past is helpful.

A typical day

Going on walks which mentally and physically stimulate your dog, tossing balls, and simply giving undivided attention are my wheel house. For cats doing some feather play time, or simply giving scratches are things you can expect from me.

I work full time at the zoo, but I can certainly pop in for morning feedings, afternoon walks and end of day care depending on what you need. Just be aware I work 7-4, so I have to do morning checks before I go to work, and can't do checks or start a stay at a home until after 4:30pm.
