Full-time lover of the furry

Pet care experience

I'm Victoria Harrington, a 30 year old and living in Bella Vista. I had 16 years experience to my maltese, Cody, 3 years with my pug, Minnie, and 6 years with sitting dogs. I started my time as a dog watcher when I was living in Long Island. I took a break once I moved to Philly but I'm ready to get back to it. My sweet Cody and Minnie have since passed but I am now mommy to two sweetheart cats, Pablo & Charlie. I've always been an animal lover so I'd love to love yours! Why I love pet care: I've been a dog lover my whole life but wasn't an owner until I was 10 when I had my first dog, Cody. He was a teacup maltese that lived with my parents in Long Island. Although he was an extremely high maintenance dog, I loved him too much to let him go! I've grown with him and by the time I was 22, I adopted my pug Minnie and learned exactly what it took to be a dog mama.

Nothing but praise for Victoria. She always responded very quickly to my questions. When my plans changed, she picked up and dropped off Bailey. She sent me pictures everyday to let me know how Bailey was doing. I will definitely use her again.

Victoria was awesome she responded very quickly in the beginning,and with any questions I had she responded very quickly. I was extremely nervous about leaving my Bella with someone I just met online and Victoria made me feel better she sent me pictures and videos of Bella while we were away. Bella was exhausted when we got home and I felt that was as good as your child coming home from camp exhausted because they were having so much fun,I would definetly use her again.

Victoria was an amazing host to your large breed German Shepherd. She responded almost instantaneously when first messaged and was in constant contact throughout the whole process especially helping answer all our questions since this was our first time using a service like this. Victoria personally adjusted her own schedule to accommodate me during a very busy New years week and displayed genuine enthusiasm and excitement to watch our Dexter. Drop off was flawless with her. She already had many things and areas set up. She always listened and took notes to any suggestions we had and was not afraid to ask questions. She messaged us picture messages and updates throughout our trip and gave us the peace of mind that we could enjoy our vacation without thinking about our family pet. Pick up was great as well. No issues, very accommodating and could tell she developed a loving bond with our dog which was more than we could ask for. Everything was safe, clean, and fun and I would highly recommend Victoria for future stays and have already shared her contact from this site to several family friends. This is a significantly better option that leaving your dog in a kennel, and an even more exceptional option if you leave your dog with Victoria.

Victoria is a wonderful sitter. My Cosmo ran to her when we picked him up to come home. She kept me posted with texts , photos and a call if she was concerned about anything. This was my first time using a stranger to sit for my finicky Bichon, but I have nothing but praise and trust for Victoria . Would definitely use her again!!
