Ratings and reviews
Wow! I honestly can’t thank Virginia enough! She looked after Toby (2yr Sprocker) so well. She adapted to his routine and spent time getting to know him beforehand and quickly during the beginning of his stay. She had lots of contact with me updating us about his day and how he settled. She would ask questions that were relevant and purposeful to having Toby stay with her. Honestly my dog was loving all the attention and settled in so well! I didn’t have to worry at all! When I left I felt comfortable and safe leaving my dog with her and her family!
An excellent dog-sitter! A true lover of animals and very knowledgeable about dog. Takes great care, forms excellent relationships, and has a brilliant set-up. Very enthusiastic and highly recommended.
Ginny has always loved animals. She is kind mental and patient. I would be more than happy to leave my pet with her as I know they will be in a safe and welcoming environment.

Schedule
I’m a teacher so can only provide boarding and care on set weekends and some school holidays. I would love my own dog but my work demands mean that it wouldn’t be practical. I am really missing the companionship of animals and I’m not in it for the money though the money insures me and keeps us safe. I live on an estate with a closed in area ideal for dog exercise, a large green and I’m very close to riverside pathways for lovely walkies.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have an enclosed fenced garden and a dog savvy cat who will stay out of the way. My son has also been around dogs all of his life and has a gentle nature with animals.
