Availability

Both my partner and I are fortunate to work from home and have adaptable schedules that can accommodate virtually any animal’s needs. I am an early riser so usually will do a morning walk, then a mid-morning, afternoon, evening, and one night time walk. Obviously we’ll work around your dog’s normal schedule so their routine won’t be disrupted.

Information Victoria Z. would like to know about your pet

Let me know how I can best accommodate you and your animal. Do they have special needs or enjoy certain activities? Are they more of a solo dog or do they prefer being around other dogs or cats? We don’t usually board more than one animal at a time unless pet parents are absolutely sure that it won’t stress out their animals. It definitely won’t stress us out!

A typical day

I live right by a dog park as well as a nature trail. I enjoy taking dogs to Bug Light Park as well as beaches that allow dogs to play.

Pet care experience

Hi, I'm Victoria and I Iove animals! I grew up with cats and dogs and have always had pets at every stage of my life, including during college. I currently share my home with 3 very chill resident kitties and often take care of my mother's dog and brother's dogs when they are traveling or out for long stretches of time. Both my partner and I work from home and have flexible schedules, so one of us will always be there--your babies will never be left alone. We are both experienced with administering medications or any other special needs your pet might have. Dogs generally get 5 walks a day; additionally I live near a dog-friendly park with walking trails for extended jaunts. If your dog is elderly or injured, or otherwise not able to do longer walks, we also have a backyard and can take them out for potty breaks and enrichment adventures.  We have a guest room that is used exclusively for cat boarding, so your kitties will have the entire room to themselves, including bed, windows, litterbox, toys, meals, and of course lots of love and playtime. They will be safely away from my cats who are in a separate part of the house.   I am also an artist and love painting portraits of pets, so you might go home with some artwork of your beloved buddy!

Joy had a wonderful time with Victoria. She felt very comfortable and enjoyed going outside, playing and napping. I received updates and pics, communication was optimal. I would definitely book with Victoria again.

Victoria was great with our dog Sandy! Sandys a bit shy and Victoria made sure she was happy and comfortable. She updated us with pictures and was very responsive. Would recommend as a great dog sitter!!

Victoria and Brent were great when we needed a last minute stay! They were super fast responders and very communicative throughout the visit. They were great with our pup Mango through a bad thunderstorm too and we appreciate the extra support and snuggles.
