Pet care experience

Doctorate Brain, Dog lovers heart

I love dogs! I have three of my own—if I could, I would have 300. I’ve been walking dogs and caring for animals for over 30 years, and my experience spans all ages, temperaments, and needs. I’ve done everything from bottle feeding puppies to providing gentle, attentive care for senior dogs and dogs with medical needs, including administering medications and following special routines. I’m comfortable handling rambunctious, high-energy dogs who need structure, exercise, and patience, as well as shy or anxious pets who benefit from a calm, reassuring presence. My animal experience isn’t limited to dogs. I’ve also cared for horses and rabbits, so I understand the importance of species-specific care, safety, and attention to detail. I treat every animal as if they were my own, focusing on their comfort, routine, and well-being. Whether your pet needs lots of activity, extra medical attention, or quiet companionship, I’m dedicated to providing reliable, loving care you can trust.

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

When pets stay in my home, I focus on keeping their routine as close to normal as possible. I provide a safe, calm, and loving environment with plenty of supervision, exercise, and affection. I carefully follow feeding instructions, medication schedules, and any special care needs. Dogs receive regular walks, playtime, and quiet rest, and I always prioritize comfort, especially for senior dogs or those with medical needs. I take introductions slowly when needed and make sure every pet feels secure and respected. My goal is for your pet to feel like part of the family while you’re away. Caring for Pets in Your Home When caring for pets in their own home, I respect both your space and your pet’s routine. I follow all instructions closely, including feeding, walks, medications, and household guidelines. I understand how important consistency is, especially for anxious pets, seniors, and medical cases. I provide regular updates, photos, and communication so you can feel confident and connected while you’re away. I leave your home clean and cared for, and your pet happy, comfortable, and safe.

Quick communication and professional! Victoria is the perfect sitter for any dog. She did amazing training my 1 year old border collie. Highly recommend her to anyone who is looking for a trusted companion for your fur baby.

Second time booking with Victoria. She was great! Even managed to silence our smoke alarm that went off while we weren’t home (it causes our dogs to stress out).

Victoria was great. Really appreciate her patience when it came to a mix up about the key we left her. She did great with our 2 hyper pups.

Victoria will FUREVER be our animal caregiver. She took care of not only our 5 rambunctious dogs but also our 4 horses and 25 rabbits. We received daily updates and pictures about how the animals were doing and never heard any complaints, which is rare considering our dogs are A LOT!! She's great and I'm sure the animals will look forward to when we they can see her again.

Schedule

I’m a teacher, which means I have reliable availability in the evenings on weekdays. I’m also fully available during school holidays, long breaks, and throughout summer vacation. During those times, I have flexible daytime and extended availability to accommodate walks, drop-ins, and pet sitting. If you have a pet who needs consistent evening care during the school year or more frequent attention during breaks and summer, I’m happy to help and keep their routine as smooth as possible.
