We understand each other....
Pet care experience
Growing up on a small family farm in Europe, you learn to take care, and be responsible, with all kinds of animals. Aside from the farm animals, I had lots of cats and dogs, not just to look after, but also to train, especially when it came to the dogs. We also had house trained rabbits (which did not make my grandmother very happy...). For some reason, dogs usually just listen to me, they seem eager to learn and sometimes welcome a job giving to them. Cats are just drawn to me, like I am to them. We have 2 grown girls, and a male kitten right now, which is trying to help me type this.... Currently, I am working part time at Whole Foods, and my hours are very flexible. With notice, I am able to either watch, walk, or feed whatever is living with you ( or, when it come to cats, owning you) :) Even overnights are not going to be a problem. I care for any animal the way I would like to have someone caring for my "pack", and place to live. With respect for the animals,having them feel safe, since it is their territory. NEVER raise a hand, or, hit, anything, really... It just brings fear, not understanding, or learning. Keep it clean, just like your own house (we have 3 cats, and 4 litter boxes, so you know what I mean)! I do like a training, even though, I am neither Cesar Milan, Jackson Galaxy, but using the knowledge from either one provided, I seem to do pretty good with obedience, or house training either cat or dog.
Reviews
Victoria watched our 14-year-old dog at our home for a week. She communicated well with us and took great care of our pet. She was also clean and respectful of our home. Would have Victoria watch our dog again and would recommend to others.
Victoria did an amazing job with our two girls. Above and beyond the call of duty. They had long walks, hikes and playtime I think they were sad to see us return. She left the home in better shape then when we left. We go regular photos and updates and were able to enjoy our vacation knowing our two Eskies were happy and well cared far. We will definitely not hesitate to use Victoria again and again
Victoria is the absolute best! We are so thankful that we found her to watch our dogs.
Victoria is simply one of the most responsible, dedicated, and hard-working souls I have ever met. She has taken care of many of my family’s dogs and cats over the years from basset hounds to malteses and our beloved husky. Our two cats, Celcie and Lulu quickly adapted to her presence as if she was almost talking with them. We can’t thank her enough for her support and advice in learning more about the behavior/ psychology of our small best friends. Not to mention she is organized and very neat in her work space.

I will give them plenty of exercise, which could mean walks or play, and affection if they like to cuddle. Some pets enjoy a nice brushing or even bathing..:)

A typical day
I love to walk or run with dogs. If thy are up to for long walks even better. It is always nice to see a pet discover new smells and places. Playing, training, and giving them a “job” has been not just fun, but also is rewarding
