Pet care is already a big part of my daily routine. I work professionally with dogs and have built my schedule around caring for animals, so providing reliable, attentive care fits naturally into my day. Because of my background as a certified dog trainer and professional groomer, I’m used to working with dogs of all ages, temperaments, and needs throughout the week. Whether it’s walks, training reinforcement, playtime, medication schedules, or simply making sure pets feel comfortable and secure, I prioritize keeping their routine as consistent as possible. I’m very organized with scheduling and communication, which allows me to give each pet the time, attention, and care they deserve. 🐾

About Victoria R.

Safety, trust & environment
When caring for pets in a client’s home, my priority is keeping their routine consistent so they feel comfortable and stress-free while you’re away. I follow your pet’s normal schedule for feeding, walks, potty breaks, playtime, and rest, and I make sure they receive plenty of attention and mental stimulation. With my background as a fully insured certified dog trainer, professional groomer, and former veterinary assistant, I’m able to provide a higher level of care than a typical sitter. I’m comfortable working with puppies who need structure and training reinforcement, as well as senior pets who may require extra patience, mobility support, or medication. I also provide regular updates and photos so you always know how your pet is doing. My goal is to make sure your pets feel safe, relaxed, and well cared for while maintaining the same level of care they receive from you at home. 🐾

Information Victoria R. would like to know about your pet
Before caring for a pet, I like to know their daily routine, feeding schedule, exercise needs, and personality so I can keep things as consistent as possible while you’re away. It’s also helpful to know if they have any medical conditions, medications, allergies, or mobility limitations, especially for senior pets. I also ask about behavioral traits such as how they do with new people, other animals, crates, or being left alone. Knowing their triggers, fears, or training cues helps me handle them safely and keep them comfortable. Because of my background as a certified dog trainer, professional groomer, and former veterinary assistant, I’m used to working with many different temperaments and care needs. The more I know ahead of time, the better I can provide safe, personalized care for your pet. 🐾
A typical day
A typical day with the pets I watch is filled with engaging activities like morning walks, fetch, and interactive puzzle toys. We also work on basic obedience training and have fun with games like hide and seek, bubble chasing, or trick training. Socializing with other dogs and enjoying quiet cuddle time are also important parts of the day. Whether splashing in a kiddie pool or playing in a ball pit, each activity is designed to keep the pets happy, stimulated, and loved.

Reviews
Victoria was great with the 4 kids, again... We were gone for a week & able to celebrate our 15th wedding anniversary with no worries. We will, once again, be repeaters.
Victoria was accommodating and communicative. Very friendly and my pup loved her. Sent pictures and updated me every day (I was gone for a week). Thank you for being good to Myla and me!
Victoria did great with our animals while we were out of town. We loved the pictures updates that she sent us!
Victoria did a great job taking care of our Holly and Frank and was easy to work with! I appreciate her willingness to step in at the last minute due to an unexpected out of town trip we had to take. 😊
