Pet care experience
Hi there! I am a certified positive reinforcement dog trainer (for almost 10 years now). I love ALL animals, and have experience with all breeds, ages, temperaments, and health issues of dogs. I am attentive, kind, and flexible. Easy to work with, trustworthy and will never put your dog in harms way or compromise the safety and care of your beloved pet. I am very responsible and I take great pride in my work, I know that your pet is a part of your family and with great respect I take the care that I give to the highest level I can achieve. I have references available upon request. If you would like me to stay with your dog while your out of town, please be advised I will only accept 3 nights maximum, and the dog must be kennel trained or OK to leave unattended for a couple hours. I will not leave your dog unattended for extended periods of time, but I will need to be able to take care of my animals and home affairs periodically throughout the day as well. Thank you for your understanding.

Wonderful experience with Rover and such an amazing connection with Virginia! Going on vacation and knowing the animals were in the best hands was such a great feeling. Photo updates and texts came every day ... Oh it was so nice to not worry about the furries. Virginia loved our animals just as much as we do. She's a wonderful person❣ Thank you Virginia for taking such good care of them all?
Virginia did an amazing job of taking care of my cat while I was out of town for a week. She was happy to come by twice a day to feed her, played with her, and even took care of the litter box! She's super friendly, really sweet with pets, and I can't recommend her enough. My kitty gets excited whenever she comes around!
Vi is so incredible with dogs. She really understands how a dog thinks. She made some really great positive changes with our Judy dog and we use her tips and tricks frequently. I highly recommend her as she is very experienced and patient.
Virginia is an AWESOME dog sitter and trainer. My dog Kingston was crazy about her. She dog sat while i was out of town for 4 days and she took such good care of him. Not only did she walk and feed him but she gave him love and affection like it was her own dog and did some training exercise with him. I have also seen her train many different dogs and her patience amazes me every time. If you want the best of the best I suggest Virginia every time. Too bad she had to move because my furry babies and i miss her!

Information Virginia C. would like to know about your pet
If staying with me - How does your dog react to cats? Does your dog know any basic commands? Is your dog kennel trained? (not necessary, but recommended) Any special needs? How does your dog react to dogs it does not know? Any allergies? (I sometimes provide high quality rewards and treats but only if there are no known allergies)
A typical day
I live right next to City Creek Park where we can enjoy a long walk, or short walks around my neighborhood offer a variety of smells and experience. I have many toys, chewies, my own sociable and well trained dogs for the healthy pack experience for your dog. I will do some basic training exercises (like sit/stay/down/etc) so your dog will learn manners outside of your own home (and it's great mental exercise!) at no extra cost (it's fun for me, too!). We can also have plenty of calm down time if your dog prefers that. I also love to snuggle so if your pup is a lap dog I am definitely ok with that!
