Victor's Pet Boarding and Pet Sitting - Waterbury, CT

Verified Member since Jun 2026

I offer in my home, daily pet sitting and boarding, including long periods of time. I have been taking care of pet family's Canines, for 5 years and counting. I am well aware of all the most common problems with pet sitting and have taken many steps through the years to improve my pet sitting and boarding business. My yard is now more secure than ever for any type of possible escape. When you take care of as many dogs as I have you get to see all the things that dogs do. And you learn from these various actions , different.Dogs take, in different situations. I have my own dogs, So of course , they have to be able to get along with other dogs. I have been around dogs all my life. They are my best friends and always have been and always will be. I have much practical experience with dogs and much knowledge about their health problems also. I have administered all types of medications. I have fed dogs, all types of special diets and taken care of dogs in size from a 5 pound Beagle puppie, up to a 145 pound Rottweiler. I have crates when needed, food and water bowls, dog beds, nyla bones and dog balls to play with. I am retired and it is my only job. My only goal in pet sitting is to keep your dog safe and content being here. hopefully happy. My best trait as a pet sitter , is I love dogs with all my heart and soul, every single one of them. Through five years of pet sitting, I have been offered 5 dogs to rehome with me from their pet parents. 2 of my own dogs are Former dogs that I pet bordered previously. The other three l either helped them keep their dog or found a home for them. One other,Chico, was put in a shelter and rehomed, before i knew it or I would have kept him also. Find another pet sitter anywhere who has done that? I have helped out many of the pet parents in all kinds of situations, They needed help with. I consider myself a one of a kind person who loves dogs more than anyone else. and because of that, I do more than anyone else to help the dogs and their families when needed. And keeping 2 of the dogs as my own, and I would've kept Chico, also. I would say to anyone else out there...Show me another petsitter anywhere in the country that has done that? I go out of my way to make sure every dog knows I care about them.I am here for them. And I love them! These last three things are what i'm best at. And I would put those 3 things up against any other pet sitter anywhere in the country.
