Highlights
Pet care experience
Vet Nurse turned pet sitter 🐾
Having 13 years of experience as a veterinary nurse, I am extremely experienced in animal care of all species. I spent 9 years working with cats & dogs, then 4 years in exotics such as parrots, small fluffies like rabbits and reptiles particularly tortoises. Last year I left the veterinary profession, mostly so I could work from home and spend more time with my own pets! Given I work from home and have huge animal care experience, I hope I can give pet owners assurance their pets will be treated like family whilst on holiday or at work. At home I have some friendly chihuahuas and two Indian ringneck parakeets. Unfortunately due to the size of my dogs and house, I can only take smaller dogs (cocker spaniel and smaller). I am able to give any medication (oral, topical or injection), experienced using feeding tubes, even with pets that find it stressful.

Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Great service, Victoria obviously knows a lot about animals in general and dogs in particular. Her own dogs are lovely little characters. Dotty got on well with the dogs and with Victoria. I'll definitely be booking again in future.
Lucy had a great time with Victoria, partner and two adorable little pups. Communication was great, with photos and updates throughout her stay. She was clearly very well looked after and had lots of fun (came home tired which is always a good sign!). Will definitely book again, thanks!
Vic is an amazing human, and good with all types of animals! She managed to bond with my ex-farm cat Tommy, who does usually swipe first and ask questions later. However, Vic had him purring, happy-dribbling and sitting on her lap in no time! I have, and will always, trust her with all my animals (furry and scaley friends). You cannot go wrong with Vic!
We couldn't have been happier with the care our dog received. From the very beginning, communication was excellent, and it was clear that they genuinely love and understand dogs. Our dog settled in quickly, was well looked after, and came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. We really appreciated the regular updates and photos, which gave us complete peace of mind while we were away. It was reassuring to know our dog was in such capable and caring hands. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for a reliable, kind, and professional dog sitter, and we'll definitely be booking with them again.

Schedule
In the week I work from home the majority of the time so pets boarding will have limited unsupervised time. Pets in for daycare will not be left unsupervised. Weekends are usually chilled!
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have a fenced/walled garden for safe outdoor time. Locally there is public fields for walks, or round the block for those who can’t walk as far. I have two small dogs to keep your dog entertained for the day! They love to play with new friends. Dogs allowed on the sofa, so cwtches are had minimum every evening! For home visits, I can cwtch, play, and care for your pets in their own safe environment.
Pets
A typical day
I will tailor your pets care, so whatever suits them! Walks, playtime and relaxing in whatever measure they require. My chihuahuas love Walkies, doing zoomies in the house/garden and playing tug of war with their toys and lounging about. They love having friends to join them!

- Let me know if your dog requires particular care. I can only care for smaller breed dogs in my home, due to the size of my property and my dogs prefer similar size friends to play with (Up to about cocker spaniel size - but please enquire if you are not sure if your dog meets this criteria).
