Ex Naval Officer Who Loves Animals!

Pet care experience

My husband and I have over 15 years of experience taking care of dogs and are super active with great attention to detail. I am a former military officer (Navy Lieutenant) and currently work remotely in the field of psychology while my husband works remotely in finance, giving us the ability to care for your dog like a member of our family. We will guarantee that your dog will be properly walked, fed, and given ample amounts of love. We can also help with dog training, other house pets, watering plants, and home maintenance as part of our fee for house sitting, drop ins, and dog walking. Some helpful facts about us: ***Your dog will never be lonely since myself or my husband Dan will be at home. We are well versed in senior pet care, administering complex medications, and formal dog training. I am a former Lieutenant that was honorably discharged after my 13 years of service following graduation from a federal service academy. I currently work as a psychologist and counseling consultant after receiving a masters from Columbia University in 2009. Availability: We are available 365 days a year (including holidays) for a day, overnight, weekly, monthly, or military deployments. We currently live in a gated community in Oro Valley (La Reserve), complete with a yard that backs up to state land and tons of walking trails.

Victoria was so great in communicating with daily texts and photos how Feathers, our cat, was doing. She is like a top notch concierge pet watcher! You can’t go wrong with the Victoria/Dan team! Thanks so much!!

Dan and Victoria were absolutely wonderful when it came to taking care of our two dogs and two cats while we had to leave for a long weekend! We loved getting picture updates during each visit and the constant communication. We will definitely be using Dan and Victoria in the future!

Great communication the whole time we were gone. Dan and Victoria took great care of our pet and were very accommodating and empathetic to my nervousness- as this was the first time leaving our 8 month old cat.

It's always nice to be able to count on Victoria and Dan to dropping to visit Samantha (cat) when I have to travel to make sure all is well.
