Pet care experience
One Family⏐Safe⏐Personalized Care
Calm, boutique boarding for small to medium dogs in a fully supervised home. I host only one family at a time, so your dog gets a low-stress stay, individualized attention, a fenced yard, and a predictable routine with 2–3 walks, supervised play, rest, and regular photo/video updates. My home is best for dogs who thrive in a calm environment, including anxious dogs, seniors, and pets who do better without a rotating group of unfamiliar guests. I have a small Toy Aussie named Cozy who is friendly, well-socialized, and a wonderful companion. For dogs who enjoy company, his presence can help make their stay feel more comfortable and enjoyable. All introductions are handled thoughtfully, with close attention to each dog’s temperament and energy level. I’m also very intentional about how I work with dogs, and I’ve personally trained Cozy to follow over 30 commands and to use communication buttons.

Ratings and reviews
Virginia continues to be Sushi’s favorite sitter when I’m not around. Thanks for sending all the great photos and videos. I can tell he enjoys you being there! :-)
Virginia gave us peace of mind knowing that Bear was in excellent hands while we were away for the weekend. The videos, pictures and clear communication allowed us to enjoy our time away from Tampa. Bear got along so well with her pup Cozy! We will definitely be reaching back to Virginia!
Thanks for the last minute like usual lol I can tell Sushi likes you and appreciate you playing with him. He’ll see you again soon and good luck with your new cat! :-)
Virginia was absolutely wonderful with our cats Orange and Saja! She followed all the instructions carefully, and clearly genuinely cares about animals. Will definitely book again. Highly recommend!
Virginia is an exceptional sitter, and we couldn’t ask for better care for our pup, Delilah. She’s highly communicative, consistently sharing timely updates with photos and videos, which gives us complete peace of mind while we’re away. Delilah absolutely loves staying with her - especially getting to play with Cozy! They always have a ton of fun together, and it’s clear Delilah is genuinely happy there. Last time she stayed, Delilah went inside at drop off and forgot to say goodbye because she was so excited to be there 🥲 We never have to think twice about whether Delilah is in great hands. Virginia goes above and beyond every time. Highly recommend - she’s amazing!
Virginia and her husband were amazing. I’m so glad my dog was comfortable and they were able to cuddle up and take a walk. Thanks so much

Pet care is my full-time focus, which allows me to provide attentive care, close supervision, and a consistent routine throughout the day. I’m always happy to answer questions, and meet & greets are encouraged to make sure it’s the right fit.

- To help create a safe and comfortable stay, please share your dog’s routine, energy level, temperament, feeding schedule, medications, allergies, and any behavioral concerns or reactivity.
