A cozy, loving home away from home

Pet care experience

I have always been an animal lover. My first ”job” was volunteering at a pet store where I fed, bathed, walked and took general care of all the dogs. After that I volunteered at the local animal shelter where my family has fostered several dogs from, and where we ended up adopting one of our dogs from. We have fostered all kinds of dogs including special needs and previously abused dogs. I have two dogs, both are very loved rescues. I just recently found out about Rover, but have pet sitting experience prior. Attention is my biggest priority when pet sitting. I do not use cages unless it is at the request of the owner. I had a 15 year old dachshund so I have experience with older dogs and administering medicine to them.

I’m very happy with how well my dogs were taken care of. I will definitely use her again!

I was very pleased with the arrangement we set up to meet and introduce my pet to her sweet pets. The care Lucy received was special and I will definitely use Virginia again.

Virginia is the sweetest, kindest girl I know! She’s a huge animal person, especially dogs. Her family has had a wiener dog for about 12 years now and just adopted another from the pound a year ago. She’s very responsible and great with everyone. I would more than definitely trust her with my dogs!

Safety, trust & environment

For the next month I am living with my parents until I move into a house in midtown. Both of my parents are animal lovers as well and have both grown up with different kinds of pets. My current residence has a medium sized fenced in back yard (not super small but not a lot of room to run around). I have a routine of walking my dogs and the pets I take care of to Springhill College’s soccer field and letting them run around on a retractable leash. It’s about a 10 minute walk from my house. We go to Carpe Diem to get water and walk back home. Both of my dogs are friendly. One is a young and hyper beagle mix, and one is a fairly relaxed 14 year old dachshund/beagle.

Information Virginia B. would like to know about your pet

I am open to sitting any breed of dog. I would just need to know any special and specific requirements he or she may need, along with what if any medications to give him or her.

A typical day

Walking to Springhill College’s spacious soccer field and Avenue of the Oaks, which is about a 10 minute walk from my house. Playing fetch in the backyard, playing with my other two dogs if he/she gets along well with other dogs. I sometimes take my dogs to Dog River where we have a spacious area of land for them to run around and water if he/she enjoys swimming and does well in the car. It is a 10-15 minute drive.
