Reviews
This was the first time we used Victoria’s service. I was really in a bind and needed somebody for 10 days. We met with her prior to leaving. I asked for references and she provided them. I have house cameras, and was able to watch how she interacted with the dogs. My dogs were both apprehensive about her at the beginning of her first visit. She took calm control of the situation, and soon she had won them both over. A few days in and I was completely at ease. She sent me videos and pictures regularly. We will definitely use Victoria again.
Provided a very helpful last minute walk and understood our dog's actions. Someone we rely on and thankfully so.
Happy to use Victoria again to watch after my older dog, Canyon. She was communicative and flexible when we had some issues that delayed our return.
You can feel secure with Victoria taking care of your beloved pet. She watched over ours for a trip and was highly flexible when we had some travel delays.

Safety, trust & environment
I would rather care for your pet in your home so they are in a familiar space. I live in a house with 1 cat. He is very skiddish but very friendly. He gets along with dogs.
Information Victoria M. would like to know about your pet
I would want to hear about their usual routine and what they are used to. I would love to know about your dog’s temperament beforehand. If they don’t like certain things such as not liking their feet touched or that they need a harness vs. a collar. Let me know what their walks are like and if they tend to pull more or chase wild animals.
A typical day
I love walking them for long periods of time or playing with them in the backyard. If they enjoy car rides I love taking them on long car rides to different parks. My favorite place to take them is great falls park. I enjoy giving them a good brushing to make sure their coat is maintained while you all are gone. If they love watching tv, I love watching movies with them in the evening time.
