Puppy (under 6 month) socialization

Pet care experience

Update for 2021 So many puppies! I am only taking puppies under 5 months old for socialization playgroups 9-12 weekday mornings! Update for 2020! Over the past nearly 3 years on Rover and with client referrals, I have a great group of dogs that come regularly on Mondays and Wednesdays for all day play from 8.30-6. I only accept regular clients after a meet and greet with my group. General preference for puppies under 5 months and recently adopted rescues as they benefit the most from the socialzation and can grow up with the group. I have also become a certified trainer and dedicate the rest of the week to shelter dogs and training. ___________________________________ Dogs love us and we love dogs! Come hang with our family. We have a great fenced yard here in Palo Alto and I work from home all day. I will walk, feed, talk, pet, and play with your dog - and your dog can play and relax with our dogs and kids too. For years now we have fostered dogs and currently have 2 of our own. We also have 3 elementary school aged kids who love dogs. Our friends always ask if their dog can come over for a play date with our family. It has worked out so well for everyone that I've decided to open up the opportunity for owners looking for peace of mind and a happy local solution for their dog sitting while they are at work or on a vacation. So send your dog over for a fun "play-cation"!

Virginia is amazing. She knows dogs and loves them. Her place is big, clean, and fun. I am so grateful that I found a wonderful "preschool" for my puppy!

Virginia is awesome! Her place is very well set up to take care of doggies, and our puppy had a blast there! We'll definitely come back :)

As a single doggy dad with a foster that ultimately I adopted, I had/have a lot of nerves and questions about my pup. Virgina not only calmed my nerves, but also provided a very healthy and trusted space for my dog to play and learn and blossom. I'm very happy to have Virgina as part of my doggie team and can not recommend more highly. I trust her with my dog and very much value the effort and care she puts into each dog.

I work full time with the dogs. Playgroups are more school rather than merely daycare. Puppies learn to take naps when tired, a drink when thirsty or play with the people or other pups!
