I work part time and mostly from home which allows me to be available all day to care for pets. I’m a big fan of a consistent routine with animals rotating stimulation (exercise, play, training or enrichment) meals, rest and balancing the three.

I care for pets on my property which is almost entirely fenced in. I have professional kennels in a mixed use building with a residential portion attached. So I have the luxury of providing secure and roomy kennels with the addition of our cozy home area. I can take most types of pets and I’m especially suited to care for animals that do not do well in large boarding facilities, don’t do well with other pets or just want a more personalized, quiet boarding experience. I don’t believe it is always necessary to socialize dogs with dogs and right now that’s not something I do (unless they are boarding from the same owners). I focus on routine, a bit of training and connection with humans! I have a fenced in run where dogs can be off leash for playing, enrichment etc. I designed our kennels myself and had them custom built. Each stall is separated by concrete walls to provide a private and safe space. I chose mental fencing for the top of the partition and the door. I chose this instead of the plastic, glass or solid door options because it provides optimal airflow and allows them to see out. I also have private suites separate from that area.

Let me know if your pet have special needs or behavioral patterns that I should be aware of. I generally ask a bit about them before I board. I do some training and do have lots of experience however I am not a trainer and am not equipped to handle dogs with serious behavioral problems. I'm happy to recommend trainers in the area who are.

All depends on the dog of course! In general, I love adding a little extra to their routine without adapting them to a new one. A typical day starts with a nice walk to go to the bathroom, greet the day and sniff around. That's followed by breakfast and then some down time to digest. More outside/play time. Maybe this includes fetch or romping around in the run or on the leash. That is usually followed by some lower energy enrichment like a puzzle or a filled kong toy. Sometimes brushing, cuddling, often dogs will hangout and relax in the office with me while I send some emails. Before we know it it's time for dinner and an evening wind down routine. It all depends on the dogs current routine. I don't believe that boarding should be a constant high energy, high stimulation environment. This can send dogs home expecting the same level of stimulation there. If a dog has a high energy routine that owners would like to keep up, I have no problem doing multiple high energy play times! Cats have a different schedule but a bit similar!

Experiencia en el cuidado de mascotas
Hello! I’ve been professionally caring for animals since I was 12 years old and got my first dog sitting gig. Over the years, my family has had every kind of pet: horses, sheep, dogs, cats, birds, iguanas even! I find great joy in showing the animals I work with lots of love and guidance. I’ve trained my own and others' horses, dogs and cats over the years and it’s just the most rewarding experience.

Excellent
I would definitely recommend Victoria's petting sitting to anyone! Our dog and cat were well taken care of. Book with confidence!
Victoria was incredible! I highly recommend her. I was a bit nervous about leaving my dog for a weekend away at work. But Victoria took care of him so well. She gave him a bland diet when his belly was upset and sent me daily photos of him playing. I’ll definitely be using her again in the future!
Victoria was great with our pups and worked with their different behaviors to provide the best care possible. She also has a great facility for dog care needs. Highly recommend!
