Victoria boarded my dog, Reuben, for nearly 3 weeks. I (and especially my kids) were a little nervous leaving our dog for such a long time. I was also a little apprehensive because this was the first time using a private sitter; we had always used commercial boarding in the past. I am INCREDIBLY glad that we chose Victoria! She was VERY quick on communication through the ENTIRE process. Something that really put all our fears at ease was the fact that she sent frequent pictures and updates of our dog. It really helped my kids (and me) to see our boy playing and enjoying himself. Her husband also is very good with dogs, and Reuben seemed to take to him. I loved how much individual attention was given to him. If you go commercial boarding, you generally have to pay an extra fee for every 15 minutes of “cuddle time” given to your dog. If you want an update call at any point, that’s an extra fee for each call. And then you just consider the almost always higher per-day base price at a facility…the price really climbs quickly. Victoria sent numerous (unsolicited) update pictures/texts (all free). Many of the pictures showed Reuben cuddling with her husband (again, completely free). Then, if you compare Victoria’s prices to many people on this very site, let alone a commercial facility, you really ARE getting a deal! If you area looking for a caring sitter, with plenty of indoor and outdoor space, who will give you amazing service and keep you involved while away, then you MUST choose Victoria! I am so glad we did!
