Highlights
Pet care experience
Fear Free | Senior & Anxious Dogs
Safety, trust, and calm care come first. I provide individualized care with a special focus on senior, anxious, and skittish dogs. I’m Fear Free Certified and Pet CPR Certified, and I take the time to learn each dog’s personality, routine, comfort level, and needs. Availability * Weekdays: Morning walks before 8:30 AM + evening walks/visits after 5 PM * Saturdays: After 4 PM * Sundays: All day I currently help care for a friend’s Bull Terrier with walks, drop-ins, and overnight care, and I bring that same patient, attentive approach to every dog I care for. I’d love to meet you and your dog for a free meet & greet!

Ratings and reviews
Victoria is wonderful with dogs and truly goes above and beyond to make sure they feel safe, comfortable, and loved. She is dependable, caring, and attentive to each dog’s individual personality and needs. You can tell that caring for animals is something she genuinely loves, and she treats every dog like they’re her own. I would absolutely recommend Victoria to anyone looking for someone they can trust with their pets!
Vickie was great with both our dogs — Bella, our senior chocolate lab, Luna, our younger schnoodle. With Bella, she was careful, patient. Walks were short, easy. She helped with stairs, gave plenty of belly rubs, made sure Bella had a comfy spot to nap after. Bella stayed calm, happy the whole time. Luna’s high energy. Vickie kept up. They played fetch, went on sniff walks, had tug-of-war with her favorite rope toy. Vickie is reliable. She pays attention to what each dog needs. Makes it fun for any age. The photo updates of both girls together were the best. We’ll have her back.
I’m so happy to recommend Vickie — dogs light up when they see her! She’s got this amazing, natural way with animals. She’s patient, kind, and seriously loving with every dog she meets. Vickie is super dependable and pays attention to the little things — whether it’s feeding, walks, playtime, meds, or just making sure they feel safe and happy. You can tell the dogs trust her and get excited when she comes back. I trust her completely with my own pets and would send anyone her way in a heartbeat. She treats every pup like her own, and honestly, they adore her for it.
