About: My name is Vivi (she/her)! I have been watching, sitting and walking dogs for over four years. I have a keen sense of animal personality and behaviour and have always enjoyed being around them. I've been known by many as *the* dog whisperer--you're in excellent hands here! I live with my friends downtown, but return to my parents house for dog care. Someone's always home for bookings. I work on my own projects between interacting with dogs, and I can take a break at any time. I have a karate class on Mondays and Thursdays, during which I hand off work to one of my parents for just a bit. Your pets are always in good hands here! I believe in being careful with pets and that they should be comfortable with their environment. The best interactions come from mutual trust between pet and caretaker.
“Delaney was amazing again! With a last minute request, Rupp had the best time and her pictures were amazing. I love the doggy daycare report card at the end of the day! So fun. She spoils our baby boy!”

“Excellent service and care of my pup Hope. Gave great insight and wisdom on additional care for her. Definitely feel as if she gave her a great start! Would recommend him for sure!”
“Emily and her pups were great! She was very welcoming and flexible with her time. She has an amazing fenced in yard. I felt very comfortable with her, and she was very patient and worked with my dog to get her settled. My doggie was very anxious, and Emily was very patient! Already have another booking with her for boarding!”

“Nathan did a great job! Great communication and I appreciate how he asked a few extra questions when I first dropped my pup off to make sure he took care of him well. Pup returned happy! Highly recommend!”

About: I’ve taken care of dogs for most of my life, and have been a proud dog mama for the last 16 years. My first love was Shorty - a lab/border collie with Addison’s Disease requiring daily medication and who lived the last two years of her life blind. I can keep your dog's feeding and medication schedule, and a soft spot in my heart for older and special-needs pups. When Shorty crossed the Rainbow Bridge, I was able to rescue Hattie - my sweet-as-pie, now 4-year-old and 40-pound Australian Shepherd mix. I have a nice fenced-in yard (6-foot privacy fence), and I work from home, so I am never far from your pooch. I work part-time from home, so I am almost always available for your pup! When I am not home (rarely more than a few hours), I crate our dog Hattie, who loves her "room". Hattie is exercised in my 6-foot privacy-fenced backyard every day unless the weather does not cooperate. I can follow any food and medication schedule your dog has. My yard features a 6-foot privacy fence, and we have a playful 40-pound Australian Shepherd mix. I make sure that the dogs get exercised in the yard every day that the weather permits, and I live in the perfect neighborhood for walks! My dog Hattie is crated when we are not home.

About: I’ve owned dogs and cats since I was a kid my family loves animals. I dog sit for family friends and have taken care of pets at veterinary clinics. I’m currently a student at UK and take a mix of online and short in person classes. My schedule is pretty relaxed as I don’t have classes everyday of the week. When I do have class I’m home a lot between classes and have time to check on animals every 2 hours. I live near campus so I can take your pet on walks around campus or to the park. I live in a pet free and smoke free apartment and can easily crate your pet if needed.
About: I have been taking care of dogs since I was very young. I have exceptional patience, gentleness and instinct for care. I am very comfortable caring small and large breeds with different energy levels and needs. I work from home which means the dogs won't be left alone for hours. They'll get attention, snuggles, potty breaks, and companionship throughout the day. I have two dogs of my own and I take care of them all day. I give them walks and play breaks constantly. While also providing a very comfortable place for them to rest and snuggle
“First time leaving my dog with someone other than family and I couldn’t be happier. Great communication from the sitter beforehand and also text and a photo during my dog’s stay with them. Both these things help put my mind at ease. Highly recommend this sweet couple and will use them again when in their area!”

Garden Springs dog parents share their Rover experiences
Virginia was absolutely amazing with our dog Moby. To start, we had to book extremely last minute because our other dog sitter cancelled. Virginia was accommodating and welcoming! She was also very communicative from the time of booking regarding drop off, expectations, etc. Then we get to her house, she has an amazing yard! She had toys for Moby to play with. Finally, we left him with her and received several updates! (More than I sometimes get when we have a dog sitter for a whole weekend which brought me so much relief and joy because I had updates on Moby’s status the entire time. I knew when he relaxed, when he ate, about his walk, etc. I loved it!) I would 100% schedule with Virginia again because of the care, communication, and consideration she had. Thank you Virginia for the best stay and being so accommodating!
