Victoria

Note: I am located in the Little Italy area of Toronto (near College and Grace), and either walk or take public transit to and from my bookings.

Unfortunately, I do not drive, so am unable to travel long distances.

Please keep this in mind when booking.

My name is Victoria and I would love to get to know your pet, either through dog walking or home visits (cats, dogs, hamsters etc.).

I am obviously a huge animal lover and I am patient and kind when it comes to my interactions with all species.

I am aware that all pets have different personalities and so different needs, and I will do my best to cater to these.

For the last 10 years, I have either volunteered with or worked with animals.

I am lucky enough to have worked alongside trainers and so am aware of different training techniques.

I am a huge advocate for positive reinforcement training, and force free techniques.

I have volunteered as a dog walker with shelter dogs and ended up adopting my own beautiful dog from a shelter at the age of 10(+).

When she first came home with me, she was very fearful and quite reactive towards bikes and dogs. With my knowledge of behaviour and training, I worked with her and she improved greatly. Once we were forced confine our walks to alleys but eventually we could enjoy leisurely walks in the park.

After my sweet girl passed away, I adopted a senior cat, who astonishes me daily with her intelligence. She loves training and puzzles.

Again, I find taking the time to get to know their personality is key - some love to play, some thrive on learning, while others enjoy affection and some like a bit of everything.

I look forward to hearing from you and getting to know your wonderful furry family member.

If you have any questions please just ask!
