Bark!.. Bark Bark.. (Hey Hey Hey)

Pet care experience

I'd love to take care of your four legged family members the next time you go out of town! I've been pet sitting for over 15 years professionally and taking care of animals for over 25 years, for several types of pets.. I'll start with B for Boa..and end with Z for Zebra.. I'm very respectful of your home and am happy to bring in mail etc. I always send pictures and texts from your kiddos to let you know they're happy and what we're up to at the time. I'm very able to administer medications and prepare special meals for dietary restrictions. I'm comfortable taking care of both puppies and elderly dogs, cats, horses, fish, gators, lions.. I do draw the line at the undead, sorry you're on your own there... Can provide multiple references from clients I've worked with for years. Actually the dogs would also be happy to provide references too

Victoria did a great job watching my dog while I was away. We were away for over a week abroad, so I was apprehensive about having someone I didn't know at my house. I had only boarded my dog in the past, so in-home pet watching was new to me. I met Victoria in advance. She volunteered her information and references putting me at ease. Her references had kind words too. Overall, I had a pleasant experience and would use her again.

My family has used Victoria as our main dog-sitter for 3 years. We have 2 large-breed dogs and she takes excellent care of them. She feeds and walks them without issue, and on occasion we have needed her to give them medications which she does without a problem. We have used kennels in the past and still do when Victoria has a conflict; however, we prefer to use her because we don't worry about the dogs as much and appreciate that she will give them the kind of attention that is hard to find at a kennel. Victoria is definitely an animal-person and she really takes time to pet them and love on them and our dogs are very cuddly so they can't get enough affection. She even helped us recently with a problem we were having with the dogs being very itchy all the time, the constant biting and scratching was driving us bonkers and I was resigned to take them to the vet. But when I mentioned the issue to Vic, she suggested it might just be dry skin and offered a natural remedy for us to try. Her solution has worked really well so far and we are all very grateful to her. Sometimes when we come home from a trip, the dogs actually seem disappointed to see us. We joke that our dogs like Vic more than us. I recommend Victoria as an excellent pet-sitter/companion.

Victoria was excellent. I was very nervous about having someone stay in our house and take care of our animals, but she was awesome and we will have her stay again. We have three miniature dachshunds and a cat. We had Victoria stay at our house and care for our animals for 8 days. One of our dogs has seizures and gets medicine 2 times a day. Victoria made sure she was always given her meds on schedule and even posted pics on social media so we knew how they were (we were out of the country). Our cat who doesn't like anyone and doesn't let anyone touch her even came to enjoy Victoria. She allowed us to enjoy our trip without worrying if our pets were being taken care of. Thanks so much.

Victoria worked full time for our neighbors taking care of horses, dogs and cats for several years. She also has stayed in our home several times taking care of our multiple dogs. She has always proved to be reliable and trustworthy. We plan on using her services in the future. Vicki and Dennis

Information Victoria H. would like to know about your pet

Has the dog been abused in the past, are there any things he/she is afraid of. I like to meet the entire family beforehand always, just to make sure we all get along (never had a "nope"). What is the dog's personality etc, routine. I actually don't have a favorite .. I've taken care of anything from Doxies, Poodles, Heinz 57, GSD, Great Danes, Border Collies, Labs, Greyhounds.. you name it. I appreciate each individual dog for their unique personality, none are the same.

A typical day

Plenty of time for sniffing things, you never know where your nose is going to take you. If dog park area is in vicinity and it's ok with owner, then fetch is in the program :) I live near Conestee Park so, there's tons of trail opportunities there (very dog friendly)
