Patient, Compassionate Animal Lover

Pet care experience

I will love and care for your pets like they are my own. My passion is working with animals, I get so much joy seeing them happy and well taken care of. I have eight years experience volunteering for a no kill animal shelter where I worked 1-5 days a week. I was in charge of medicine, cleaning, day to day activities, dog walking, lead duty, and adopting animals out to loving homes. I served as kennel coordinater and four years as the Vice President on their Board of Directors. Animals cared for include cats and dogs of all ages. I have three senior dogs myself. One has degenerative spine disease, another has arthritis, and my other one has a collapsing trachea. My elderly cat has an autoimmune disorder and a heart murmur. Each get medication every day. I am very used to taking care of those that have special needs and accomidations. I have cared for animals that have had to have diabetic insulin shots, post surgery care, and daily medication. I have a history of working well and gaining the trust of animals that are scared, unfriendly, past neglected, and have an anxious personality type. I am very patient and slow, allowing me to gain their trust. In the past eleven years I have cared for new born puppies/kitties to animals that are close to their twenties. I treat them all the same, with all the love and affection they deserve. I would be more than happy to care for your babies while you are away. I have been pet sitting in people's homes, dog walking, and cat sitting for the past eleven years now.

We are so happy to have had Virginia as a sitter. Our cats really seemed comfortable with her and instead of all the pictures being them under the beds, it was nice to see them out & about, being brushed, pet, etc. Virginia was easy to communicate with and left a great impression. We would love to have her sit for us in the future!

You can't go wrong hiring Virginia to watch over your pets. She has multiple years of experience caring for other's animals and has always done a fantastic job of it. She's attentive to their needs and does her very best to keep them happy and healthy while owners are away, treating them as if they were her own. Does your pet have important medication they need daily? No worries, cause Virginia has it under control. Do they need extra love while you're gone? No problem, cause she has lots to give! You won't have to worry about your pet's wellbeing with her around. Highly recommend!

Virginia is very passionate about helping animals, and she gives amazing care to all the animals she’s watched or cared for. She is responsible, hard working and wants to provide the best care possible for all her pets. Virginia dog sits for a lot of my friends and family, and everyone loves and recommends her for any pet needs anyone might have. She is a great pet caregiver! Her love and passion for animals is obvious and I highly recommend her for pet care needs.

My husband and I are moving into a house that will have a fenced in yard. I will be able to offer a boarding service when we are all set up there. As for my services, I am able to adjust to your schedule whether it is letting your dogs out in the backyard or walking them around the neighborhood. I like them to be able to keep their schedule and I am happy to discuss any adjustments you need me to make while caring for your little ones. I am able to crate animals while I'm away if needed.

Information Virginia C. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know your pets personality, special needs, or special instructions ahead of time. This way I am informed ahead of time and can take the proper steps to introduce myself to your pet in a way that is comfortable for them.

A typical day

I can play toys with them, run them around the yard, brush them, take them on extra walks. Anything that's their regular routine or if they need anything extra, I'm willing and thrilled to get to spend time with them.

Right now this is my full time job. I have regular clients I have worked for for years. I cared for their babies even while I was in college. My husband takes care of our animals while I am away taking care of my clients' pets. I am happy to adjust to your schedule so your animals do not have to get out of their routine.
