Animal Hospital Vet Tech

Hi 👋 I’m Victoria! I graduated with a degree in Biochemistry with a concentration in pre-veterinary medicine from Mississippi State University in 2019. Then was admitted to Ross University for their veterinary medicine program. I love animals but decided I’d rather own the vet clinic than be the veterinarian so I worked as a vet tech while getting my MBA. I finished my masters in December of 2022 and have plans to start my own animal hospital. I have volunteered with several animal shelters and wildlife rehab centers since 2016. I worked at Animal Tracks Veterinary Hospital from June 2018 until August 2019. I have been trained in dog CPR at Mississippi State University’s school of veterinary medicine. I can do grooming (dogs and cats), with nail trim and ear cleaning for an extra $20 fee. I am able to medicate (oral, injections, creams, etc...). I have closely worked with with diabetic cats, cats with strokes (wobbly cat syndrome), post surgery care, and canine seizures. I can go on long runs, take them to the dog park, or just spend some time cuddling your furry family member. I will send daily pictures or videos of your pet while you’re away as well! I have experience working with domestic animals (large, small, and farm) as well as bobcats, bunnies, squirrels, birds, skunks, opossums, and coyotes. I am currently working on obtaining my wildlife rehabilitator certification. I’d love the chance to come meet your baby!

Victoria is wonderful. She sent pictures of my cats every day so I could see they were playing and happy. It is such a relief to know they are cared for by a thoughtful, responsible person. I will definitely use her services again.

Victoria has always been my go to for pet sitting needs! I recently had a flight delay and she was able to extend her visiting last minute so that my sweet Tofu could get his medicine. I’m even pretty sure I left dishes in the sink in accident and I returned home to them all being done so I think she did that too.

Victoria did an exceptional job taking care of my fir babies. The request was short notice but Victoria was very accommodating and willing to go above and beyond to do a good job. Can't thank you enough for the wonderful job she did.

Victoria was lovely! She dropped by to give our cat insulin while we were out of town. Thank you for taking care of our little one!

Victoria was so helpful when my beagle that has frequent seizures had one while she was visiting for the meet and greet. She knew exactly what to do to help him. She managed to time it and help him to the ground safely. She even told me that putting cold rags on his head and feet would help keep his temperature from getting too high during them. Which could prevent any further brain damage. She doesn’t usually do boarding at her house, but because of Max’s frequent seizures she let him stay with her. If you are looking for someone who is responsible and does what she says, Victoria is your girl!

Victoria Matthews has been caring for my 4 dogs for years. She’s attentive to details that we request and spends good time with my fur babies, giving them attention and love when we’re away. My dogs are aging and require medication as well as observation for issues. Victoria is excellent with my babies.
