“I have 4 Labrador Retrievers and Virginia is the only person I trust watching my dogs. She watches them at least once a month and administer medicine to them when needed. They absolutely love her and loves when she watches/spoils them. She walks them on leash and plays with them in my fenced in back yard. When she watches them, she stays over sometimes, its a weekend and sometimes a couple of weeks at a time when we vacation out of country. Wouldn't trust anyone else to watch my dogs.”
