I’m currently working part time at a rescue and have my own small business so, my schedule is flexible! But, taking care of pets is one of my favorite things to do other than giving them pets and cuddles lol. I provide extra enrichment and fun training on walks and check ins!

Safety, trust & environment

I take care & love each and every pet like my own. This includes making sure they have great walks, are given lots of patience, extra treatos if permitted, and lots of love of course. With my pet first aid, experience as a dog trainer, and working at a humane society I’m great at keeping dogs happy, healthy, and safe!

Information Victoria V. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know if your dog requires special attention, has any medical issues, needs any medication during my time there, has any behavioral issues, or anything else that will help keep them & everyone else around safe.

A typical day

When I watch dogs safety and fun are my top two priorities. It’s really up to the dog, their age, their body language, and their comfortability on what we do! Walks and sniffs are a given for most. But, we may go to a park if nearby, do some basic training, enrichment, and or play games like fetch! At the end of the day your pups will be enriched both mentally and physically! Which is the key to a happy dog.

Victoria’s Helping Hands

Pet care experience

I’ve been a professional dog care provider since 2020, but my experience with dogs goes back my entire life. I’ve cared for countless dogs belonging to friends, family, and neighbors and turned that lifelong passion into a dedicated career. I am a Certified Dog Trainer, Pet First Aid and CPR Certified, a professional Pet Photographer, and a full time pet care business owner. My background allows me to go beyond basic pet care. I understand dog behavior, body language, and how to create a safe, low stress environment tailored to each dog. What sets me apart is the level of care and intention I bring to every client. I don’t just watch dogs, I advocate for them, provide enrichment, and treat them like my own. My entire life revolves around dogs, and I take that responsibility seriously. I also understand how scary it can feel to leave your dog with someone new. That’s why I prioritize clear communication, trust, and consistency. You will always receive updates. Many of my clients have shared how relieved they felt finding someone they truly trust instead of feeling like they are leaving their dog with a stranger. My goal is to make both you and your dog feel completely comfortable, confident, and cared for every step of the way.

We were happy to rely and trust Victoria with her caring services for our senior dog, Barney at our home while we went out of town for a wedding. Barney was well cared for and played with several times a day and taken on his regular walks outside that he enjoys. Victoria prepared Barney’s special food, ensured he ate and his water was clean. She also took care to give our good boy his treats! Victoria is a patient and knowledgable caregiver — she is gentle, trustworthy, punctual and highly recommend.
