Pet Boarding Victoria

About: I’ve been my neighborhoods designated dog sitter since I was 12 years old! I’m a lifelong dog lover and currently have two large, energetic rescue dogs of my own. I have hands-on experience with bully breeds, large and strong dogs, puppies, multi-dog households, crate training, leash manners, enrichment, basic grooming, and administering routine medications and supplements. I’m especially comfortable with active dogs and dogs with big personalities! I understand that every dog has different needs, boundaries, routines, and ways of communicating, and I’m happy to follow the training and structure you already use at home. I love walks, hiking, enrichment activities, playtime, and plenty of couch cuddles. I’m also comfortable with basic bathing and grooming, including dogs who need a little extra patience with baths. Safety is extremely important to me. I pay close attention to dog body language, introduce dogs carefully, separate dogs for meals and high-value treats when appropriate, and never assume that what works for one dog will work for another. My goal is for your dog to feel safe, comfortable, and genuinely cared for while they’re with me. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to spend plenty of time with the dogs in my care. I’m available for walks and drop-in visits throughout the week, as well as daycare and boarding for dog-friendly dogs in my home. I have two dogs of my own, so caring for dogs, getting outside, and fitting plenty of play and enrichment into my day is already part of my normal routine! Safety and comfort are always my priority. I have two friendly, social dogs of my own, and I require a meet-and-greet before boarding or daycare to make sure everyone is comfortable together. I carefully supervise introductions and play, and I separate dogs for meals, chews, and other high-value items when needed. I have a large yard with an invisible fence that my own dogs use, but visiting dogs will always be physically secured outside with a leash or long line. I’m happy to follow your dog’s normal routine, crate schedule, feeding instructions, medications, and house rules. Dogs are always welcome on my furniture and beds unless you prefer otherwise!

“Judy did a nice job with our Maui. Our daughter dropped her off for us and said Maui immediately jumped on the couch to sit next to her. We got some pictures and updates about her stay with Judy. Thanks for taking care of her so well. Judy”

“Was very pleased with An’s service and care of Giorgio. She definitely knows how to manage multiple dogs that aren’t from the same household! In addition, she captured a video of Giorgio trying to get another dog to play so I knew he was doing well as he rarely likes to interact with other dogs.”

“Val has great experience with all types and ages of dogs. My dog was in a caring home with a loving and attentive family that was easy to rely on.”

Lea S.

“Wesley was absolutely wonderful with my dog, Frankie. From the moment I dropped him off, it was evident that Frankie was treated like family and genuinely well cared for. Wesley and his parents have a beautiful home with a secure, fenced-in yard, which made us feel incredibly comfortable. We were able to travel out of the country with complete peace of mind knowing my dog was safe, happy, and truly prioritized. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience and would highly recommend Wesley to anyone looking for exceptional care. I received photos and updates. We look forward to planning our next adventure and rebooking with Wesley!”

“Shelby & her family were amazing! Our pup had so much fun while we were gone, we were both on vacation! Great communication, multiple updates each day with photos/videos- this definitely helped us relax while we were gone knowing that our pup was happy and well cared for! We’d definitely recommend Shelby!”

“So thankful to have found Ana and Michael to care for our dog. They provided such loving care that made Juni feel right at home and is at ease while on vacation. I definitely recommend them and will be returning for future needs.”

“Nickolai and Ryder took great care of my relatively new addition for our first Rover stay. Douglas is 8months old and the backyard with a K9 companion to tomorrow around with was perfect. Nickolai was understanding and accommodating with some of the lingering puppy tendencies and Ryder was kind enough to share his bed. I will definitely be reaching out in the future. 🙂 Thank you!”

“Kathy and Jim have been so patient and loving to our pet Birdie, we are so lucky to have found them. They send us pics on updates on how she’s doing everyday and we didn’t even ask for them yet so appreciate it! It’s a lot of work that they do. They really care about the pets they watch over. Look forward to our next booking with them!”

Ivy P.

“It was wonderful to work with Samantha! She was quick to respond to our reservation request and any questions we had throughout the time she was with our pup. Samantha was kind and accommodating. When we picked up our pup we could tell she was well cared for and had a delightful time with Samantha.”

Petra J.

“Emily was absolutely amazing with our dog, Roxie! She was very upfront in warning us that her dog, Elliot, can come on a little strong at first (which he definitely did lol) but he and Roxie became best friends almost immediately after. Emily sent tons of pictures and videos throughout the stay, which made us feel so comfortable knowing Roxie was happy and having fun. It was obvious from every update how much Roxie loved her. We would absolutely trust Emily with Roxie again and highly recommend her!”

Hannah W.

“Morgan and Zack were amazing! I received updates and pictures every day. They were very understanding and flexible with drop off and pick up times. Their large fenced yard was perfect. Ella really seemed to enjoy here stay.”

Wendy N.

“Lely and Mark took GREAT care of our dog, Gus. He stayed with them during our wedding events in the cities, and were super accommodating to things we had lined up for Gus during the couple of days. They regularly sent photos/updates which were very appreciated, even during a busy time. I would not hesitate to leave him with them again in the future! Your dog will be in great hands with Mark and Lely - we can’t thank them enough!!”

Heather J.

“Marcela was so great! I wish I could give more than 5 stars! She took care of my young puppy with a lot of patience and kindness! She updated me constantly while we were out of town! Lastly, there was an ice storm and our flights got canceled. She was super understanding and kind towards the whole thing! She really made my life and trip so much easier and I’m very grateful I found her!”

Yocelin J.

“Another year and another great stay with Taylor and Andrew. Our boy is big, strong willed and not great with all dogs but he is treated like one of their own with Taylor. She is great with keeping her pack safe, happy, and entertained and giving me photo updates throughout the week.”
