Canine, Feline, & Equine Sitter! 🐾

Pet care experience

Welcoming to any size or breed of any dog or cat! I do not currently own any dogs or cats, but had one dog in the past when I was younger for many years. I have taken care of not just dogs and cats, but have also taken care of horses, chickens, and ducks! I am available almost all of the time, but please request a booking as soon as possible as I do fill up quickly! If I house sit for you, I will send updates and pictures throughout the stay (usually 1x/day or every other day at night to recap on how the day went). I've taken care of friend's dogs and cats countless amounts of times (both overnight stays and daily check-ins). Currently, I work at a horse barn (where my horse is located) during the weekdays (M-F) and I am out of the house from 6 am-12 pm, but depending on what duties I have to do around the barn that day I usually leave early, so I can go and care for your pets if needing a specific midday care (for drop-ins and house sittings specifically, if needing medications during the day). Usually once I am home from working though, I'm in the house until the next morning unless needing to go out to get food. I’m not able to walk very long distances because of past/current knee and back injuries, but I’ve been known to play with dogs until they're tired (whether that be throwing balls, playing tug of war, etc.). I can, however take short walks (max of 15-20 min) if your pup is needing some outside activity time that’s not in backyard! I am very precise with instructions and make sure that all are perfected to the owner's preference before you arrive back home (it does help if instructions & house duties are written down/printed out just so there is no confusion or multiple question asking once away from your animals).

Another wonderful stay with Victoria! Our house always looks as good as new, and our pup is always happy and healthy when we get back.

Victoria is my hero! When another sitter had to cancel two days before my trip, she jumped in to help. It’s reassuring knowing my little ones are safe and comfortable with her while I’m away.

Another great stay with Victoria, this time while we were overseas for a week. Our dog clearly had a great time, and the house was in great shape when we arrived home after a very long day of travel. We appreciate Victoria and are thrilled to have her back again soon!

Safety, trust & environment

I will take excellent care of your furry friends while you are away! I follow both house and pet care instructions that have been written down exactly to your liking. Since I am home with them almost all day, they will have a lot of trips outside to go potty/play with toys/or just be able to bask in the sun (when it’s not a gloomy day.)

Information Victoria J. would like to know about your pet

Things I would like to know beforehand: - Feeding schedule - Behavioral issues (if any, are there any triggers) - Medications that would need to be given (how often would it need to be administered) - Do you prefer them to be walked or just playing outside as their daily exercise - Are they allowed on the furniture or on the bed (either while I am there or while I am away)

A typical day

Some of the fun activities that I will do if I take care of your dog is: play tug of war, fetch with a tennis ball or toys, give belly scratches, or if they just like lounging around the house, we’ll sit on the couch and watch movies and TV shows together! If you have a cat that likes to lounge around, I will lounge with them, maybe take a cat nap with them, and will play with them with their favorite toys. If they enjoy belly or back scratches, I can give them a bunch of those as well!

WEEKLY SCHEDULE (Summer): As stated above, I work at the horse barn. I will be out of the house weekdays from roughly 6 am to 11 am to go feed. Arrival home from the barn may vary a tad earlier or just a tad later than 11; however usually once I am home, I am usually home until the next morning unless running to have dinner with a friend (30 min-1 hr) or running to go get food for myself (5-10 min).
