OHSU Quality Pet Care

Pet care experience

Hello! My name is Victoria and I grew up raising Labrador and Rhodesian Ridgeback puppies on the beautiful island of Maui, Hawaii. Since then I have maintained my love of animals throughout the years and within the last 5 years started using my unique skills to train my own service dog, Henry - a 3 year old Beagle. I am in the process of becoming a nurse practitioner at OHSU in psychiatric mental health, so I understand the unique bond you have with your fur baby. I can guarantee that like my quality health care, your animal will be in professional and loving hands. 💕 I am currently working from home 3/5 days a week and as a student my weekly routine consists of being a homebody most of the day and long walks to the park in the evenings. I do not separate myself from my animals during my work, and so if my kitty or your fur babies demands cuddles in the middle of my telehealth meetings, you can bet cuddles will be had. Rarely I do have to run errands and will need to step out for ~2 hours. Note: If boarding in my home, I do not leave the pets alone together while out. I will separate for their safety. I also have started working a part time shift at Amazon, so if sitting in your home I may require to leave your pet from 7:30pm-5am on these two days. Otherwise you can expect me to be giving your pet undivided attention through their stay. 😊 I have my own service dog in training as well as a cat that are very social and affectionate. Your animal will feel adored and part of my little family for the duration of their stay! I am willing to follow any dietary, exercise routines, or special needs clients. I practice positive reinforcement training.

Victoria was amazing! We had a kitten that needed daily injections and had someone coming to help, during one of the injections a sciatic nerve was hit and Victoria got him right to Dove Lewis in the middle of the night! She administered the medications and even did physical therapy with him until we could get home. Our dogs also had more walks than they’ve had in their lives! Couldn’t not be more grateful for Victoria taking care of our animals!

Victoria was a life saver for us. Our dog sitter cancelled last minute and she was so responsive when I reached out. Her and her dog Henry came for a meet and greet and they both loved on my fur baby. She stayed in the house and loved on our baby so well. Sent lots of photos videos and updates. She is already booked for our next trip and we will certainly be utilizing her in the near future and need to set up some play dates with our pups now. Thank you Victoria and Henry!

V is amazing and knowledgeable when it comes to pets especially dogs. I’ve relied on V to walk and pet sit my German Shepherd mix a few times and I always come back to a happy cheerful doggy. Bonus, I’ve used her advice on a few dog concerns and have seen major improvements.

Information Victoria R. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog has any specific behaviors, dietary needs, or likes and dislikes. I love to go in with a new dog feeling like I already know his/her personality!

A typical day

Generally I like to utilize a lot of puzzle scent games for dogs to use their instincts and sense of smell to exercise mentally, and then take them on long walks around downtown Portland to tire themselves out. If allowed I also like to take my clients on various hikes with me on the weekend for further stimulation and exercise.
