Availability

When possible for overnight services, I like to host a complimentary 30 minute meet and greet with you and your animal prior to the needed dates (boarding, dropins or housesitting) where expectations, safety precautions, temperament, routines, food tolerances, behaviors and preferences are all discussed. This sets the table for your animal to have a fabulous and SAFE time with me (their new favorite sitter) and helps YOU to feel ease of mind during your time away from them.

👋🏼 About me: Since I was a little girl I've found joy in providing love, care, and support to any animal I could, but there was one experience that was life changing for me. When I was a young gymnast I had a bad fall on the beam that landed me in the ICU for a week. 🏥 On my last day at the hospital we had dog therapy where dogs of all shapes and sizes came in to lift our spirits. 🦮 That day my heart for animals tripled in size. Their incredible ability to lift spirits, and their selfless unwavering love is incomparable. A few weeks later after I was discharged we brought home a puppy from the litter of my favorite golden retriever therapy dog. My whole world changed. Learning to train and practice patience with a very young puppy is a transformative experience. 🥹💕 That puppy grew into the kindest most gentle golden retriever… and just like his momma, he went on to lift spirits and provide hope to people in the community who needed it most. 🙏🏼 NOW: As an adult I have fostered many animals, both dogs and cats alike. I like to volunteer at local humane society’s as often as my schedule allows, and I use my online presence to help rehome local animals and save dogs on the euthanasia list from being put down by matching them with the perfect forever family. 🏡🐶🐾👨‍👩‍👧‍👦

Information Victoria S. would like to know about your pet

⚠️ Please let me know if there are any pertinent concerns about your pet such as reactivity, resource guarding, triggers, or just their favorite treat! When possible, for overnights I prefer to have a complimentary 30 minute meet and greet! Its important for me to know their social preferences so I can always make sure they are in a safe, comfortable and nurturing environment that suits them and their needs. 24/7 care is a service I offer for an upcharge if needed, and I need to know if this is something your animal requires at the time of booking so I can schedule and plan for providing 24/7 care. ⚠️

A typical day

My home had a cute fenced yard, even fully equipped with a doggy door so dog’s always have optional access to potty outside regardless of our walk daily walk schedule. My community has a dog park and beautiful trails that are great for long walks, and even a nearby park requiring membership for access to a special puppy swim area for all the water pups out there! Puppy movie nights are a given during boarding. There are a ton of cool places nearby to sniff all the smells, swim in the designated doggy safe areas, and go for long walks in the Lakewood Ranch area. If your pet is reactive or timid though, no worries- we can be homebodies in the safety of your home or my own which has a shaded and fenced in yard. Communication is key so boundaries and expectations are clearly discussed prior to booking start times.

Victoria is amazing!!! I’m from out of town and had to book an overnight boarding last minute, and I am so happy I found Victoria! She is so kind, a true animal lover, and was very accommodating with my dog who is anxious & a bit noisy. She has a very dog friendly home with a big fenced in yard, my dogs had so much fun at her place! She kept me updated frequently with photos and videos which was great. 10/10 experience, thanks again!!!

Tori was awesome! Very communicative and professional. She sent lots of pictures while we were out and took great care of our fur babies. 💛

Tori was excellent with our two pups! Before we left, she took detailed notes on their schedules and needs. She was very thoughtful and she is a great communicator. While we were away she sent us fun photos and videos of our two pups and gave us great feedback on how they were doing. She clearly has experience with many dog breeds and different temperaments and really got to know each of our pups wonderfully. We really enjoyed having Tori stay with our dogs and it made our vacation time away very relaxing to know they were in such great hands!
