Meet Victoria

I was a substitute for Washoe County and Carson City school district, plus I have been babysitting since I was 12.  I also love working with children with disabilities given that my brother had Down syndrome, including coaching Special Olympics and VIP soccer.  I used to work for the City of Reno in Youth Services and the State of Nevada with adults with disabilites.  Most recently my work with youth was with those who had been through the juvenile detention system doing activity programming as a member of AmeriCorps, National Civilian Community Corps.

Definitely a 5 star rating! We have an older german shepherd and 2 cats and they get top-notch care from Victoria. She's sat for us a few times for long periods and keeps us up to date with photos and notes and we are left with no worries about being gone. She also takes very good care of the house and plants. I can't say enough good things about her and the pets love her too!

Pet owners know that a little weekend can turn stressful when you have to figure out what to do with your furry baby. Victoria was my solution! Way better than a kennel with strange dogs and over stimulation, Victoria stayed at our house and cared for Lily, my five year old pit. Oh, and she waters gardens too! The house was well cared for and Lily was in high spirits when we returned. Thanks Victoria!

We went to Las Vegas at the end of April and hired Victoria to care for our two cats and two guinea pigs. Not only did she take care of everything we asked her to, she went above and beyond when one of the guinea pigs knocked his water bottle off of his cage after she had left. Victoria was very responsive and the animals were obviously happy and well cared-for. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone, especially those who have guinea pigs.

Victoria was great! She came over twice and the second time to walk the dog and get more of a handle on the cats and the house prior to my departure. She was in touch with me while I was away, and when I got home as well. Everyone was in great shape. Jack was looking for her after I got home, so I know they had a great time together. She's friendly and very kind. Thanks Victoria, for taking such good care of Jack, Jasmine Decker and the house! You're the BEST!!

Victoria is absolutely wonderful. She took care of our dog and stayed at our condo for a long weekend - everything couldn't have worked out more perfectly. She's 100% trustworthy and conscientious, very responsive as well as being just the nicest of nice! We'd hire her again in a second and plan to the next time we need a dog sitter. We couldn't have been happier with the arrangement.

Victoria has sat our two energetic hounds on two occasions. Each time the dogs were happy and healthy on our return. Victoria stays in excellent touch throughout the process, leaving text messages just to update us on their (always good!) status. Victoria even enlists her partner, Brian to help as well, so hiring her is like getting two sitters in one! She loves dogs and I think she'd play with them for free, but pay her anyway, because she does a fantastic job! She also stayed overnight with the pups at our request and even washed all the linens! Thanks Victoria for another job well done.

Victoria is the BEST!!! We have 2 high energy big dogs & we have used a variety of services when out of town--from high end doggy day cares to kennels to imposing on family members. Victoria is the very best of all possible worlds & we simply cannot recommend her highly enough! Our dogs acted like we hadn't even been gone when we returned, they were so happy and obviously well-cared for (doted on? :). We were only gone for about 24 hours, but Victoria visited our dogs 4 times and was prepared to make a 5th visit. She called to make sure we had made it home on time and that all was well. Highly conscientious, responsible, kind, caring, and on the ball. We live in Takoma Park so Victoria's close proximity and knowledge of the neighborhoods was also a huge plus. All that, and she's charging less than you're paying elsewhere--so completely worth it and then some! We travel a lot for work & will absolutely be using Victoria's services again. Thank you!
