Insured Doggie Guardian

Pet care experience

5/1/2024 Update: Service now includes basic obedience training towards my CPDT-KA training and basic grooming for stays over 8 days. 11/05/23 Update: Due to inflation, cost of living and petsitter insurance, the rates are firm. Thank you for your understanding! As a traveler myself, I know how it felt like when I leave my dog in the hands of others. I offer my service as compassion for your peace of mind when you're getting your "me" time or family time away from home and your pets. I have several other caged/tanked pets and my home is like an indoor jungle full of plants. We just moved to the city for now and we would only do housesitting for new clients. When you're away, I'll send cute photos of your pets on our little adventures, and take care of business so you don't have to worry about a thing. Your pet will be with me most of the time since I work remotely.

Victoria was very attentive to Waffles and she was great to work with. She communicated well and sent pictures and videos.

Victoria was great! She took my pup to the dog park while she was watching him and he came back a worn out pup.

For summer, we’ll bring out the dogs to the dog park for water fun . I have other caged/tanked pets. I have cared for friend's dogs and children. My dog is a 17lbs quiet boy who enjoys occasional company of others. Amenities for fur guest: Filtered water fountain, special food accommodation, beach days, unlimited frisbee and ball catch and fetch, new toys and treats monthly, training treats from PureBites Beef Liver, unlimited Himalayan yak chews and over 3 bed choices every night. Regarding a premises tour: please note that this is still a private resident. If you would like to see how your fur baby fair at the boarding home, please book a half day daycare and lots of videos will be provided. This is to ensure safety of the caregiver and boarded animals. Meet and Greet: Skinner Park or Bartelme Park. If you would like to meet at another dog park, we will be happy to accommodate for a weekend meet.

Information Victoria S. would like to know about your pet

Let me know what your dog needs training for. It's better if I get at least a week with your pet boarded with me. We can work on it with my method. I won't be able to guarantee anything but I will record his or her progress so you can pick up where he or she left off.

A typical day

Clicker training can be done alongside with my dog's present training, we also do long walks around the block. If owner agrees, I can take them to a dog park for social. Transportation rates included in service provided.
