Highlights
Pet care experience
Reliable, communicative & fun!
Hello! I'm so excited to meet your furry family members and walk and play with them! I worked as an account manager in tech for about 15 years and have recently left that career to go back to school to become a therapist. While I do that, I've decided to lean into my love for dogs and start walking/pet sitting for additional income. I was on Rover several years ago mostly dog sitting, and it was the best! But now that I have a toddler running my household, walking dogs outside is a better fit for me these days. For the last 7 years, my partner has also been a full-time dog walker, and I've been his backup the whole time. Now, we're officially making it a family business as I've started taking on clients of my own again! Over nearly a decade of dog sitting and backup walking, I’ve cared for dogs of all ages, sizes, and energy levels. I’m completely comfortable handling special medical needs and unique temperaments, and the NOLA heat doesn't scare me one bit. Let me take your dog out and I'll do all the sweating so you don't have to!

I am a rule follower and someone who loves sticking to the plan. So whatever instructions you leave for how you want your dog to be cared for, I will follow those to the letter.
Ratings and reviews
My dog Rusty loves Viginia.
Amazing per usual! Was available on short notice and always gives to best attention and care to my pups!
She did a great job watching my dogs! Super reliable, communicative, and took great care of them. I would definitely book with her again!
It is such a relief to have someone to depend on, especially when it comes to your beloved pets! Virginia is great with our dogs and is a great communicator. I love coming home to happy, calm dogs, and I appreciate her reliability!!
I highly recommend Ginny.Ginny is awesome!!!!! Petunia my stubborn little Shih Tzu hates everybody, but when Ginny comes in to walk her, she goes up to her immediately and rubs on Ginny like a cat❤️🐶 Ginny is very nice, consistent and on time very reliable and most importantly Petunia loves her! When she comes back from the walk, Petunia is calm ,relaxed and tired👍 Thank you so much Ginny I don’t know what I would do without you!!!❤️🐶 Michelle
Virginia has been amazing! She communicates quickly and is so great with our dogs. We are lucky to have found her!

Schedule
I recently left my 9-5 and plan to start earning my Master's in January 2026, so in the meantime my schedule is wide open. My only restriction is I can't start before 8am as I have to get my toddler to daycare.
- 0 to 15 lbs16 to 40 lbs41 to 100 lbsover 101 lbsVirginia can host up to 3 drop-ins per day
- If your dog is nervous in any way with new people, I would prefer to meet them with you there to give them time to get used to me.
