Experienced & enthusiastic!

Pet care experience

I have worked with dogs and multiple other animals such as horses, cats and small animals (hamsters and rats) throughout my life. I have experience with puppies, pregnant moms, mature dogs and everything in between! Have a troublesome puppy? I can help! I've trained multiple dogs and have worked along side a breeder for over 5 years. Your dogs will feel relaxed and at home with me, recieve all the love and attention they could ask for. My priority is your dog; to ensure that they are comfortable, relaxed and can enjoy themselves! If you are just looking for training advice or someone to help train your dog, I can do that as well! I've taught dogs simple obedience and house manners as well as more complicated techniques that one would see in an agility course. I've also been able to help with more complex behavioural issues such as food aggression, resource guarding and dog/human reactivity. I'm currently in the process of training my girl Nova to be my service dog! I am in school full time at Wilfrid Laurier University, studying psychology and neuroscience with a minor in animal biology. I am able to take doggos for walks and do drop ins between my classes Monday-Thursday. My weekends are fairly flexible, so don't hesitate to message meat! At this time, boarding and doggy day care are closed, however I will accept an emergency board or daycare as a last resort only. I live in a small apartment building, so you don't have to worry about elevators. There are multiple fields near by, both closed in and open that I can play fetch and run around with your dogs. I also do a full clean of my place between doggy guests. My (large) puppy Nova is super friendly and enjoys the company of every dog that stops by for a couple of days or just an afternoon.

Did not show up for a scheduled walk, then lied in detail about having completed the walk, going as far as providing the time the walk was "completed" and a reason why it wasn't checked in on the app. Have a way of verifying completion of services (ring camera, etc.) if you use this walker.

Victoria is very pleasant to deal with and listened carefully to all my instructions. Our first experience was really positive and we will certainly call on her again.

Victoria was great with our two high-energy dogs! We received frequent updates and felt really confident in her ability to care for Cleo and Charlie. Thanks again :)

Victoria took our dog (tobey) for a walk (1hr) two consecutive days, and it was awesome. Although we were not at home, she followed all the instructions and attended Tobey perfectly, leaving him very well excercised. I am glad that we found her and I would recommend her as well to any client who is looking for a dog walk.
