When I am not travelling for my job, I work from home full. Metsä and I love having another four legged friend at home to go for a nice hike with.

Safety, trust & environment
I work from a home office and always have your dog in the room with me during the daytime hours. When we go on a walk and out for bathroom breaks your dog will remain on leash at all times.

Information Victoria W. would like to know about your pet
Your dog must be leash trained and non pull/lunge reactive to bikes, wildlife, people and other dogs. In winter we walk on snow and ice, and I wear ice cleats. But even with cleats it is a hazard to my safety if your dog is able to pull my feet out from under me. Your dog must be good with other dogs, and comfortable around my dog Metsä, who is a working breed that likes to be given space inside our home.
A typical day
My go to on leash dog walk or run is a waterfall hike that is about 7km return. We do this hike right from my house. If you'd like me to take your dog for an on leash hike or cross country ski in Kananaskis Country, please message me and we can make a plan. I will pick up and transport your dog to and from the trailhead and we will go for a minimum on leash hike or cross country ski of 2 hours. Sample hikes include but are not limited to: Westwind Pass, Tent Ridge, Ha Ling, Lady Mac, Sparrowhawk Tarns, Read's Ridge, Birdwood Lakes, Rummel Lake, Chester Lake, Warspite Lake and more. Sample cross country skis include but are not limited to: Mt Shark Trails, Ribbon Creek Trails, West Bragg Creek Trails.

A good day is spent with a dog.
Pet care experience
Looking for a doggy daycare that doubles as an outdoor adventure? I’m your sitter! If you want your dog to return home happy, tired and thoroughly fulfilled, you’ve found the right spot. I work from home with a flexible schedule that allows me to prioritize outdoor time. Every single daycare stay includes at least one 5–10km hike (or if requested, trail run), or a split routine of two 3–5km walks. I have experience with all breeds, but I specialize in high-energy working dogs (Cattle Dogs, Aussies, and Border Collies). My own best friend Metsä, is a 14-year-old Blue Heeler, so I deeply understand the physical exercise and mental stimulation these breeds need to stay happy. Metsä gets a minimum of 2 hours of outdoor time a day, and I can't wait to meet some new friends and hit the trails together!
Reviews
It is such an amazing gift to leave your puppers for the day and know that they are well cared for! This is exactly what happened for us when Alexandra looked after our Missy! We received regular updates and photos of Juno living her best life...out on a hike and choosing her 'favourite' bed! She is part Staffie and that smile is unmistakable! Thanks Victoria for allowing us to have a stress free and enjoyable day!! We and Juno will see you soon!
Victoria was great with Otis, she sent pictures and videos of him throughout the day and took him on a nice long walk which was perfect so he could relax with me and my partner in our hotel room after a nice long day!
Victoria and her husband are amazing. They always take such good care of our Kuma. Definitely the best sitter in Bow Valley!
Victoria took great care of our two doggos. I could tell they loved her and were happy and tired when we picked them up! Highly recommend her ??❤️?
