Putting your dog in a comfortable, safe and loving environment can be difficult to find. Often, kennels will cage your dog all day and pay little attention to their individual needs. Why not have your dog stay in a beautiful, loving home where they will receive the 5 star treatment! Our home is located in Andover, in the preserved forest of Harold Parker. There are many trails connecting to our back yard and a beautiful pond where I enjoy walking my own dog. In our household we have two furry pets. Oliver (eight year old Goldendoodle) and Sebastian (Himalayan Brown Cat). We have two reptile friends who are okay with doggy friends, but who are kept in tanks in separate quarters. All of my animals are very friendly and welcome new friends to stay and play. Our yard is protected by an electric dog fence for safety. It is also located in a quiet neighborhood away from busy traffic. There are plenty of areas to go on daily walks. :) About this sitter: Hello! My name is Victoria and to say that I am a dog lover would be an understatement. I have had a special connection to animals ever since I was a little girl growing up on my family's dairy farm. I currently live outside the Boston area with my 4 year old son, my parents and husband. We are a loving family, and feel that a house is empty without pets. My professional experience is based in care giving. I am a current nanny and household manager. I also have many clients who I house and dog sit for on a regular basis. In addition, I am a current volunteer at the Great Dog Rescue New England placing abused dogs with loving foster homes. In my spare time I love to practice yoga, write, read and spend time out doors. I look forward to spending time with your dog and giving them the love and attention they deserve while you are away. Why I love dog sitting I have loved and cared for dogs my whole life. Our dogs were always members of our family and the love and friendship I have had with my pets has brought me the greatest joy. I currently live with my dogs Oliver and Daisy along with my cat Martin. I love to have fun with my dogs! We hike, play at the beach and go on doggy play dates with friends. :) I also integrate holistic care with my dogs and home cook nutritious meals for them. I am also a current volunteer at the Great Dog Rescue New England where we find foster homes for abused dogs. My experience administering medication I am comfortable with administrating medication.
