Loving caregiver for your dog!
Pet care experience
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.
Reviews
At first. I was a little nervous hiring a stranger to watch my dogs. Victoria stayed overnight for five days with my two senior dogs. I did not want to leave them alone overnight for 12 hours at a time. Plus they are not used to being alone overnight. Victoria is a true dog lover, volunteers at a dog rescue and she especially loves Pit bulls (one of my dogs is one :). My dogs loved her.Victoria is very dependable and showed up when she was supposed to, and is on time. She responded to all my emails and texts right away. I totally trust her around my dogs and would hire her again in the future.
Victoria has assisted me with three dogs. I hired Victoria to help take my older dogs out While I was working. And now for my new dog out For socialization play dates with another dog. "Angel" is always happy to see her. Victoria is also reliable And always shows up when she is supposed to.
Victoria is a wonderful and nurturing person. She is adored by children and animals alike. My current dog "Tequila", a shelter dog, enjoys Victoria as did my previous dog "Buddy." Both of my dogs have had shyness issues, but they both found Victoria great to be around. Victoria grew up with family pets and farm animals, so I believe she is a natural animal caregiver.

Information Victoria Q. would like to know about your pet
My main concern involves knowing the health concerns of a dog. This could mean any current allergies or past injuries. I also like to know a dog's preferences. When do they like to go out? What games do they like to play? I try to be as consistent as I can be to how they spend time with their owners. I am open to sitting for any breed of dog. I do not feel comfortable sitting for a dog if they show any aggressive tendencies.
A typical day
Time I'll spend with your dog I plan on dedicating my time and full attention to your dog each day. I will treat your dog just like my own and ensure that they are comfortable and having fun. :) Extra house-sitting services I would be happy to help out with house hold tasks. I can take out the trash, water plants, bring in the mail or other light tasks.
