Animal-loving woman with 3 labs

Pet care experience

I’ve always been an animal person. Dogs can sense that. At home in Seattle, I have 3 large labrador retrievers. I've had dogs since I was 6 and have taken on many different dog-sitting roles throughout my life. My family uses Rover as well. Now that I live in New York, I’m pretty far from my dogs. I miss them dearly! I'm currently only working part-time as I wait to hear back from law schools for next year. I am looking for opportunities to spend time with dogs, go on walks, and create new dog-loving friendships. I would love to help you and your pet anyway I can. My skills range from puppies to old dogs.

Virginia is one of the biggest dog lovers I know. Growing up with many dogs, she not only knows how to care for them, but love them as her own! Virginia is organized and put together - not only career-wise, but in her daily life. She is well-versed in following a schedule and getting things done, while also allowing for fun activities and hobbies. There is no one that I would recommend more to take care of your dog. Her love for animals is palpable and it corresponds to the way she takes care of them. Your dogs will love her fun-spirit and lively personality - I guarantee it!

Since I’ve known Virginia I’ve known her to be the biggest dog lover I know. She is the kind of person that disappears at a party or hangout and you’ll find her with the pup(s). She immediately finds, greets, and adores the dog at really any house or in any situation. The way she treats her own dogs is another testament to this because they are so loved and spoiled, and treated as humans which is great. If anything ever happened to me, Virginia is the person I’d leave my dog with.

Virginia is a responsible and loving dog owner. I have experienced first hand her love for furry friends. She is caring, willing to spend quality time with animals as it makes her very happy. She is the type of dog lover that will lay on the floor for hours spending time with the dog. In addition, Virginia is a very responsible and trustworthy person. Dog owners should feel comfortable leaving their pets with Virginia. She has great communication skills, and is very easy to work with. Quite honestly -- I can't think of a more qualified person to care for dogs. The combination of her love and passion for dogs and her professional demeanor makes her a great candidate for Rover.

Information Virginia D. would like to know about your pet

It would be helpful to know if your dog has any specific needs or behaviors that I can account for, especially how they behave around other dogs on walks.

A typical day

I love exploring New York by going on walks! Depending on where you live, I would explore the nearby parks. I also love dog parks, but I know some dogs don't like those.
