Love spending time with dogs

Pet care experience

I’m a huge dog lover been around dogs my whole life. Would love to have more dogs at home but my wife is currently not ready to have another dog at home full time yet :( . We have 2 young boys who are also love animals. In the interim I would be happy to watch dogs part time. I’m really good with dogs and can ensure your 4 legged fur buddy is in great hands with us. I’ve had experience fostering dogs for shelters multiple times until they were ready to find a home. I’ve also volunteered in shelter to walk and spend time with dogs that just came in. I currently have a dog of our own Bradley that adopted us in 2015. Prior to Bradley I had a jack Russel terrier that I’ve had for over 16 yrs. Bradley is well trained and great around other dogs and children ! Bradley would be more than happy to have another 4 legged friend around!

Vik R. is an amazing sitter!! This is our second time leaving Bailey with Vik and his family and we couldn't be more happy with the love and care they have shown our dog. Bailey not only gets plenty of excercise on their long daily walks but also gets along well with their dogs. Best of all, Vik sends plenty of pictures to show all the fun Bailey is having everyday; they are like his second family.

Vik is a fabulous host and my pet was taken such a good care by him. He kept sending pictures of my dog which made me feel very comfortable and relaxed that he is enjoying there at his place Thank you Vik

Vic and his family were so friendly and accommodating. Sherlock enjoyed his stay there and looks forward to his next visit. We will definitely book with Vic again.

Vik was amazing with my two pups. We had forgotten to bring in dog food but he was very generous to provide food for both my pups. Both my pups enjoyed time with Bradley and Riley and with the entire family.

A typical day

Home has a nice fenced in yard ! They can have at least 3-4 hours of outdoor time a day and weather permitting longer. I work from home 80 % of the week and would be happy to have regular 20-30 min walks every few hours in the day. There is also a trail nearby that I would be happy to take the dogs on a walk as long as the dog is friendly with other animals.
