Avid dog lover and runner!
Pet care experience
I am a student at the University of Virginia School of Law. While a junior in college, I adopted my dog, Maverick. He is a Border Collie mix from Paul's Valley in Oklahoma. I rescued him from a local shelter in Norman, Oklahoma. Maverick and I love to run together and he loves to swim. Since a young age, I’ve had many cats and dogs in the home. I’ve grown up feeding, walking, and loving on all animals. I am great with both young and old animals, too. In high school, I rescued four abandoned kittens. I brought them home and my mother and I bottle-fed the baby kittens and adopted out three of them to other families. I'm so excited to love on your dogs! I love getting outside, exploring nature, and finding new nature trails. I look forward to meeting and speaking with you soon! -Victoria
Reviews
Victoria was such a wonderful host for my dog. Everything was top notch, and I will definitely look for her the next time I need a host. She was quick to respond to any questions, and communication was great the entire stay. It's clear she is great with animals, and her home is a very clean and welcoming environment. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a worry-free experience.
Victoria is the best. We went away for a destination family wedding and had to leave our two beautiful babies behind for a long weekend. We were very nervous to leave them with anyone new, as we’d just had friends and family watch them previously, and we found Victoria and everything seemed like it would work out perfect! Until we left… and one of our dogs got sick. Victoria truly went above and beyond for our sick pupper, we usually would’ve come straight back but I was in the wedding party and we were quite far! She communicated with us every step of the way, took our baby to the vet to get some meds to feel better, and gave our girls so much love. Victoria, words can’t even begin to thank you for everything you did for us, from loving our pups to cleaning up after so so so many accidents. Thank you ❤️ we highly recommend her to anyone looking for pet care that is attentive, loving, and communicative.
Victoria has done a wonderful job caring for my dog, Sulley! She is timely, communicative, very sweet, and has been flexible with my chaotic schedule. Would highly recommend!!
Victoria was so awesome with our dog, Goose. He has a bit of separation anxiety but he really warmed up to her which says a lot about her ability to connect with animals. She was extremely kind, patient and communicative. I got lots of updates about their adventures. I was able to fully enjoy the wedding I was at, knowing that Goose was in great hands. If we’re back in the Charlottesville area, we would definitely use Victoria again!

Safety, trust & environment
I have a fenced-in backyard at my home. I never leave my yard or home without leashing my dog, Maverick, for his walk. There are too many unknowns and silly things that can happen! I would rather be careful than sorry.
Information Victoria W. would like to know about your pet
Does your dog have any habits that might not be obvious? Does he/she have a favorite toy? Are they scared of thunderstorms? Do they get a water and/or a treat before bed? Do they like to be held? Are they uncomfortable around strangers?
A typical day
A typical day with Maverick consists of walking in our neighborhood, swimming at Chris Greene Lake Park and running together! Maverick is a quick dog and loves to get energy out when he can. I'd love to do the same with your pups. Whether they love to walk, play with toys, or just be cuddled, I’m ready to love on them!
