Victoria frequently takes care of our dog, Pepper, and cat, Professor. Many times it is just for a day or overnight. However, now she watches them when we are away on vacation for a week or more, as well. She is very reliable. She spends a great deal of time with them and updates us on how they are doing by sending us texts, pictures and/or calling us so they can hear our voices. In the past, when we would go away, they would get upset. But they just love Victoria! Now they don't seem to care if we leave. I actually think they look forward when we go away so they can spend time with her! I highly recommend Victoria to anyone who owns a cat or a dog. They are family and she treats them as such!
