Highlights
Pet care experience
Dog-lover with a lot of free time!
I grew up in a household with large dogs and am a lifelong animal lover. I have experience walking, house sitting, and boarding dogs of all sizes and ages (including geriatric, diabetic, and epileptic dogs). You can trust that your pup will be my top priority when under my care!
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Highly recommend Victoria! She is amazing! She took wonderful care of Duke, meticulously following all of his dietary needs and daily routines. She sent regular updates and photos where Duke was visibly happy and having the best time. I’m so grateful to have found her. I will definitely take Duke back to her.
Victoria was a great caretaker for our dog, Murray. She was thoughtful when handling his reactivity with other dogs/animals and willing to work around his behavioral challenges, communicative with regular updates throughout his stay and leading up to his week-long visit, and flexible with pick up and drop off times. We will definitely book with her again!
The best!! We are so thankful for her care for Sasha - she treats her like one of her own and we feel so comfortable leaving her with Sasha!
She takes care of my dog, Charlie with good heart and Charlie had good times with her. We are very satisfied with her.
Zelda clearly had so much fun with Victoria - playing, snuggling, going to the dog park! Victoria was very communicative, sent us lots of great pictures, and was flexible when we had to slightly adjust pickup and dropoff. We would definitely book with her again!
Victoria is the best! Our dog Sasha absolutely adores her. Great communication and pictures throughout the stay.
Calendar and availability
Schedule
My schedule is very flexible, as I am home full-time most days. I typically cater my day/week to the dogs I sit, with lots of potty breaks and walks.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I live alone in a 1-bedroom apartment that can comfortably fit most large dogs. My neighborhood is very dog-friendly and is adjacent to the Alewife Brook Reservation. Pets are allowed on furniture/in all areas of my home, but I am happy to discourage certain behaviors if requested.
A typical day
On my walks I like to let the dogs go at their own pace with plenty of stops for sniffs. I am also able to go on longer/more frequent walks with dogs that may require more time out of the house. If permission is granted by the owner, I love to go to dog parks for games of fetch and social moments with other pets.

- Please let me know if your dog is friendly or not with other dogs (both on and off leash), and if you’re comfortable with another dog possibly being in the home. I am happy to accommodate pets with special behaviors, stressors, sensitives, etc. with advanced notice from the owner.
