Summer walks? No sweat! (for you)

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!

Virginia is the SWEETEST sitter ever!! She is so understanding and flexible with previous bookings! I get nervous taking Moose to new sitters, but Virginia sent me so many updates and photos that I felt so comfortable with him being there!! We will definitely be back!!

Ginny took care of my very shy rescue dog while I was out of town for a week. My dog has been abused previously and she is still very distrusting of people, so I was nervous about boarding her for the first time... but it seemed like Penny behaved well while I was gone and survived our first separation! Thanks Ginny!

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 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs

Virginia 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.
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.
