Highlights
Pet care experience
Pawsome Days!
I’m a fur-mom with over 25 years of pet experience. Having taken dog training basics, I am familiar with dog behaviour and communication. Your furbabies will be treated with the same love, care, and respect as my own. On my available days, I’m home with the furbabies all day. We spend our time taking walks, playing outside, napping, interacting, or giving cuddles. I have no doubt that they’ll have a Pawsome time with me and my gang and that your furbaby will be excited to come again!

Ratings and reviews
Frankie had a great time at Victoria's. He seemed relaxed when I picked him up and happy to see her the next day when I dropped him off. Victoria is great with quick responses and we will definitely be using her in the future!
Victoria is wonderful when walking with Taro! Taro loves seeing her everytime when she drops by for a walk!
Sonik had a great evening. Thank you Victoria. You made him feel at home with you.
Victoria is fantastic with my dog. She treats her as one of her own. Takes Alex on walks, and takes really good care of her! Would 100% recommend!
Victoria is a great host for our fur baby Taro, as well as Blossom! 😁 She takes perfect care of Taro with daily outing to the park, walks, plays and a lot of cuddle 🤗. When we pick Taro up, he looks so comfortable and happy in her place. We will certainly come back next time when we need to board Taro!
Victoria is patient and loving with cats and dogs - a true animal lover! She is used to pets' varying needs and is happy to accommodate and communicate well about their care. I'm happy to recommend Victoria!

Schedule
I work from home most days of the week, which allows me to be available for your furbabies on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. On my unavailable days I also use Rover for pet care for my little Blossom. Blossom has many fur friends and knows the neighbourhood dogs well. I am lucky to not be working on weekends, so my Saturdays and Sundays are quite flexible. Furbaby activities include walks, play, park time, training challenges (with rewards), rest, snack time, and snuggles. Animals are able to access the fenced in yard upon request so bathroom schedules are very flexible. Fresh water is always accessible on any level of the house.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I offer care in my own home. Animals are treated like family. I keep furbabies safe by using retractable pet gates to temporarily restrict areas of the homes, like when a delivery occurs, during meal times, or as friends get to know one another. I have a fenced in yard for getting business done, or for lazing and basking in the sun. Lots of animal safe toys and beds are available for play or rest, but I’ll be honest, I allow furbabies on the furniture as much as I do the people. Positive play and reinforcement is part of our daily routine and is geared toward the individual personality of the animal. Living with me is a middle-aged and tolerant short haired cat, and a shy but easy going Cavalier King Charles Spaniel of two years. I expect a meet and greet prior to confirming a booking to ensure personality fit and safety of all our friends.
Pets
A typical day
I live with 2 furbabies. If your pet is here in the early morning then our day starts with an walk. Usually a walk makes us hungry and a second breakfast (or snack) is in order. Of course, after all that walking and eating we are sometimes tired and take a nap or we’re just getting started and want a game of fetch or drop-it and take-it, or maybe we practice listening to commands and challenges with positive rewards of love or tiny treats before we snooze. The rest of the day is a series of naps, fresh air breaks, short playtimes, and sometimes some more practice training. If the energy is right, we take a late afternoon walk as well. If it’s a weekend, then afternoon walks are a guarantee.
