Highlights
Pet care experience
Reliable, lifelong animal lover
**I am not available before 4pm on weekdays, except during public school breaks** I have had dogs my entire life, including many unique and special needs dogs growing up (my family fostered Pugs). In adulthood, I also discovered my love for cats! I currently have two rescue dog and two rescue kitties, who are the loves of my life. I have volunteered at an animal shelter and worked at an dog training facility centered on positive-reinforcement training. My family also loves and has owned freshwater fish and hamsters, and I have past caregiving experience with birds, hermit crabs, turtles, chinchillas, and more! I always make sure to follow all directions exactly, communicate often and directly, and veer on the side of caution with your pet(s)! I am a very safety aware and cautious person, and will ensure that your pet receives the best care possible. We are all a positive-reinforcement only, gentle approach household that will ensure your pet is treated with the utmost love and kindness, just as we would want our own pets would be treated by a pet sitter.

Safety, trust & environment
I follow all instructions exactly as directed and practice open lines of communication to ensure you know your pet is well cared for! As a pet owner and lover myself, you can be assured that your pet will be treated like a member of the family while they are in my care, and will receive all the love, care, and affection they usually get at home.
Ratings and reviews
Fantastic sitter. Very attentive to my pup. Goes above and beyond, sends great pics/updates
Victoria does an excellent job caring for my cats. They are never stressed when I return. She takes time to pet and cuddle with them. It’s nice to have someone so trustworthy taking care of my pets.
Victoria was absolutely amazing with my cat Shadow! She took the time to come and meet him to understand his needs and sent thorough notes and the cutest pictures. Will definitely book with Victoria again in the future☺️
Victoria did a great job taking care of my cats. She made sure they were fed and watered and actually spent time cuddling them when they wanted it. I could tell she did a great job because they were calm and not stressed out when I returned from my trip. That is important. She also provided daily pictures and was timely in her communications.
Victoria was super communicative and judging by the photos my cat loved her!
Victoria is amazing! She's responsive, understanding, and thoughtful, going above and beyond to leave things better than she finds them. It certainly doesn't hurt that my dog seems to love her!!

Schedule
I am a full-time public school educator, so I am typically only able to accept stays during weekends, evenings, and full days during school breaks (occasionally I can accept lunchtime visits in the neighborhoods near Iliff and Buckley during the school year).
- Cats0 to 15 lbs16 to 40 lbs41 to 100 lbsover 101 lbsVictoria can host up to 1 drop-in per day
- Please let me know any special needs (physical and behavioral) and the typical schedule your pet is used to. Since I often have a busy schedule, it is also helpful to know if your request is a flexible timing or set time (especially for things like medications).
