Fast paced walker

Pet care experience

I know that your dog means everything to you and I will treat your friend with love and make sure they have a great walk or visit with me. Walks should allow them the exercise they need but also periods where the dog can smell the smells! If it's a home visit I will play with your dog and then have a mellow period of pets and love before I leave to calm them down. I have 3 dogs of my own, ranging from giant to tiny. I have experience with socially "awkward" dogs and know how to handle dogs that may react negatively to other dogs they see on a walk. I respect the wishes of the client when it comes to how they want their dog to be exercised, socialized and treats.

I've known Virginia for four years and can attest to her passionate love for animals. She's incredibly responsible and caring person and treats every dog she works with like it's her own. Virginia has three dogs of her own -- including an aging 120lb Mastiff/Rottweiler to a rambunctious, high-energy chihuahua, so she is extremely experienced with even the most challenging-to-care-for dogs and those with special needs. Virginia has that calm-assertive energy that dogs respect and you can tell they always feel safe in her presence. I've had her take care of my pets when I'm out of town and I have absolutely zero worries about them, knowing they're loved and cared for -- and having a lot of fun! You will absolutely not find a more reliable and trustworthy caretaker for your dogs than Virginia!

I can't think of anyone I'd rather have take care of my dog Shorty, or my cat Hailey. Virginia is the best! She's capable, empathetic, and a long time pet owner. Your fur babies will be safe with her.

I have known Virginia for about 5 years and I routinely reach out to her to watch my lab while I am out of town. My lab is 7 years old and is very hyper; Virginia is great with him and I never worry when he is in her care. She takes him on daily walks, trips to the park and really just treats him like he’s one of her dogs. Virginia is incredibly responsible, level headed and genuinely loves animals. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone who is looking for an experienced dog walker or sitter.
