A good day is spent with a dog.
Pet care experience
I work from home and have a flexible schedule. I love to spend time with awesome dogs by taking them for walks and hikes! All doggy day care includes at least one 5-10km hike/walk or a combination of two 3-5km walks. I have experience with all breeds, particularly working dogs - cattle dogs, Aussie shepherds, border collies. My own dog, and best friend Metsä is an 11 year old blue heeler and I understand the level of activity and mental stimulation working dogs need. Metsä receives a minimum of 2 hours of exercise per day. I am keen to meet new people who have dogs of all breeds who could be new friends for Metsä and me! If you are interested in dog walking and would like to set up a meet and greet ahead of time, this may be possible.
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 ??❤️?

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.
Home
Information Victoria W. would like to know about your pet
Your dog must be leash trained and non 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 I t 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.
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.

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.
