I have known Vilma since she was 12 years old and I cannot think of another person who is as loving and caring for dogs such as Vilma. And her love of animals is not confined to just dogs. She is known to stop rush-hour traffic to assist a mother duck and her ducklings to safely cross the street. Over the past few years Vilma had to deal with the heart-breaking loss of two of her dogs. Both of these dogs had lived long years but towards the end of their lives they each suffered from numerous ailments. I saw first-hand how Vilma showed so much patience and love and caring for these dogs and really sacrificed so much of herself to provide these dogs comfort and safety and love. Recently, Vilma adopted a bloodhound from a shelter which has eased the loss of her two other dogs and she is going to great lengths to meet the needs of this new dog (which has loads of energy!!). I cannot think of a better person to watch and care for dogs than Vilma and she would be an incredible asset to anyone wanting someone to watch their dog.
