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.

Safety, trust & environment

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.

Information Virginia C. would like to know about your pet

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.

A typical day

I'll always make sure they have plenty of time to "do their business". Otherwise, it's whatever your dog wants! Are they a sniffer? Cool, we can go slow. Do they have overflowing energy? We can hit up the dog park for some extra running space. Do they love making friends? We'll say "hi" to everybody we see. Not a fan? We can cross the street and keep it moving!

Pet care experience

Hello! I'm so excited to meet your furry family members and walk and play with them! I recently left my 9-5 job and am spending my time doing what I love most before I head back to school in January for my Master's. That includes meeting as many dogs as I can. I was on Rover several years ago mostly dog sitting, and it was the best! But now that I have an almost two year old 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!

We're so happy to have found Virginia. She took excellent care of Pepper Jack. My husband even said when he came to pick him up, Pepper Jack didn't even want to leave. She provided photos and updates throughout his stay. We've booked a few day care stays and will definitely book again.

Virginia was a great host for Nico - he had a good time and she sent lots of nice pictures and updates. I’d definitely book again with her if she’d have him!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
