I work from my home office in the mornings and late evenings. At midday, I take my two Greyhounds for their second walk, and they always enjoy sharing this time with new friends. They are both extremely friendly and outgoing, even with small dogs. Then it's garden time, perhaps some training, or playtime with friends like a Giant Schnauzer and a Labrador at my home. So there's always something going on, and after all that romping around, a little nap is more than welcome.

Safety, trust & environment

I live in a typical residential area in Morecambe, yet still close to Lancaster. The area in and around Heysham and Morecambe offers plenty of opportunities for dog walks - whether out in the open countryside, across fields, or through small wooded areas. Beach walks are by far the dogs' favourite, and we regularly meet up with friends. At home and in my backyard I offer lounging areas, cooling mats in the summer, and a separate feeding area - indoors or outdoors, depending on the season and weather conditions.

Information Victoria Ina L. would like to know about your pet

Please tell me more about your dog - such as their breed, age, and preferences. Do let me know if your dog is shy or shows signs of insecurity, or if there are any special needs or specific behaviours I should be aware of.

A typical day

There is a wide range of games to choose from, such as outdoor ball games and activities I’ve devised that involve searching for hidden toys. These games often help develop problem-solving skills. I make sure your dog gets the rest it needs, taking its temperament and age into account. My home is equipped with various dog baskets and cosy, fluffy beds. In fact, almost every room offers a spot where they can tuck their head under a blanket and shut out the outside world for a while.

Experienced Dog owner + Dog Handler

Pet care experience

I grew up with a dog for 15 and a half years, which had a profound impact on me. I decided to pursue dog training after adopting a Boxer, a decision I've never regretted. I've learned a great deal about myself, including my insecurities, strengths, and how dogs and horses perceive me. It's been an invaluable experience that I've refined more and more throughout my life. I can care for dogs of any size and age, though they should be at least one year old. If needed, I can train young dogs and also care for older ones. I can also administer oral medications and give your Sweetie a soft & calming massage. In 2018 and 2021, I adopted two rescued Greyhounds whose calm and balanced nature has helped many other dogs. Even though they sometimes get excited at dog meetups, they always manage to build a stable relationship. This invaluable talent has brought us many friends on our daily walks. My two sweeties have become important members of various dog groups / packs and are, of course, always welcome among people. I am also available to help with nearly any behavioural issues you may encounter with your dog. How to read a dog's body language? How do I train my dog ​​not to pull on the leash all the time? Why does my dog ​​bark even when there's (obviously) no reason to? Would you like to change this unwanted behaviour in your beloved pet? Talk to me.

Victoria has pet sitted our 3 year old Giant Schnauzer Rufus for several holidays, and there is no one else we would rather trust with our sweet boy. Victoria is an incredible dog owner, having two beautifully tempered dogs of her own, Jack and Molly who both get along perfectly with Rufus. We know with certainty that when we are away on holiday, Rufus is having an amazing time staying with Victoria, Jack and Molly. Every time Rufus is dropped off at Victoria’s house he is full of excitement. Victoria is highly experienced in caring for dogs, I absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a dog sitter. Your dogs will be extremely safe and happy!

Hi, Victoria Ina has been a friend of mine for three years and she is extremely knowledgeable about and devoted to dogs. Her own two greyhounds are beautiful animals who are tremendously important to her; they receive the best care and food, and she is completely tuned in to their needs, both emotional and physical. My own dog - a ten month old whippet - goes wild with excitement when she arrives and has been cared for by Victoria Ina on several occasions. I would always consult her with questions about dogs’ behaviour or health. I can happily recommend her to look after any dog, large or small. Their needs will be paramount and they will fall in love with Victoria Ina.
