Pet care experience
Dogs Rule! Let's Walk! 🐾
I love to take long walks in the Hills and flats of LA everyday. Los Feliz, Franklin Hills, Bronson Cyn, Griffith Park, Beachwood Cyn, Barnsdall Park, Runyon Cyn are some of my favorites. If you want me to walk in any other neighborhood, that's perfectly fine. I'm very familiar with and have walked miles and miles of beautiful LA neighborhoods for years. It's always better with a furry friend. I've been a furry friend mom all of my life. I've pet sit and walked dogs for friends and professionally in LA and in Chile for years. I grew up in a houseful of rescue animals. My mom worked for a vet and couldn't stand the thought of euphanasia so she would bring home hurt or abandoned animals to nurse them back to health and find homes for them, or in wild animal cases she would release them back into the wild. We had dogs, cats, birds, squirrels, ducks, rabbits and even frogs! I'm also part of an animal rescue group and have been a foster home. We were able to find forever homes for so many abandoned and street cats and dogs. I'm bilingual with my second language being Spanish.

Safety, trust & environment
We walk for miles everyday all around the Hollywood, Los Feliz, Beachwood , Bronson and Runyon Cyn areas. Hollywood Blvd is fun too when there's not so many people. Early in the morning and early evenings are best for paws in the summer 🐾☺️ We can bring treats and water and a favorite toy. If you like dog parks we can do that too!
Ratings and reviews
Theo the shy guy did quite well with Viktoria Viktoria was extremely patient. .
Victoria is a love bug. We felt so comfortable with her taking our Zucchini on a walk. She even has done it very early in the morning because of this LA summer heat. We give her a 5* rating for her love of our baby and her kindness.
Victoria....surpassed my expectations! I expected a simple dog walk, nothing else. What I got was a dog whisperer! SamWise/Sam is a little skittish because he is a COVID puppy, He didn't get the type of socialization that I wanted for him to be more open with others. When Victoria arrived, yes, Sam was a bit aloof, not sure what was going on or why he was going out on a leash with someone he didn't know. I was worried how this service was going to work out for him. When Victoria and Sam got back to the house, he was a different dog! Oh My! He LOVED Victoria! Victoria stayed a little longer after the walk to assure Sam that all was good between them, and surely they had a few treats between them. I am impressed! Victoria will be my ROVER Girl from now on! I can relax now knowing Sam and my other Papillon Theo will be forever in good care on the next walk. THANK YOU VICTORIA! Will call you again soon!
I have known Victoria for over twenty years, and she has always been an exemplary caretaker of animals. In addition to caring for her own pets (cats, dogs, birds), she has taken care of other people’s animals with the same level of conscientiousness. She is ultra responsible and trustworthy in every respect. I recommend her highly.
Viktoria is an animal lover through and through. Over the last 20 years, I have seen her nurture and care for cats, dogs and birds. She treats animals with compassion and respect and advocates for their welfare, often fostering and rescuing pets and finding them the best homes. Viktoria is also a good communicator and a responsive person. She will make trustworthy companion for your pet when you are away.

Schedule
I live in Beachwood Canyon where there are many wonderful roads to walk and socialize. I currently don't have dogs but I've had many in my lifetime and all of them were rescues. I currently have 4 cats that we recently moved back with us from Chile. No friend left behind! One is completely blind since he was a baby. His name is Messi. 🐾
