Pet care experience
Overnight Care for Your Best Friend
Virginia is a lifelong animal lover with experience caring for animals of all personalities, sizes, and energy levels. She provides calm, attentive overnight care in your home and does potty breaks during the day. She makes sure the pets she stays with can feel safe, comfortable, and loved while their humans are away. As a speech-language pathologist by profession, Virginia is patient, observant, and highly attuned to communication and behavior — qualities that carry over naturally into pet care. Whether your creature is playful, anxious, independent, cuddly, goofy, or a little quirky, she believes every pet deserves individualized attention and care. Virginia especially enjoys building relationships with dogs and learning their routines, preferences, and personalities. Expect plenty of updates, affection, walks, playtime, and snuggles. She’s experienced with everything from energetic critters who love activity to seniors who simply want companionship and consistency. Your pet will be treated like family while you’re away.

Ratings and reviews
Virginia is amazing to work with! She took detailed notes in a visit prior to pet sitting and made sure that I felt comfortable with everything and that our cats had the opportunity to get to know her. During our trip she sent detailed recaps and took lots of amazing photos. I felt so comfortable with her that I did not have to worry once about the care being given to them. Would book with Virginia 100% again!!!
Virginia has a way with our canine companions! She watched our dog while we were away, and we could tell he was incredibly happy and well cared for. She truly appreciates each dog's unique personality while paying close attention to the owner's specific instructions. I know our boy loved his time with her. Your dog will love her, too!
Virginia took great care of my dog and three cats. My cats didn’t even notice I was gone for the weekend when they usually give me the cold shoulder after time away. I’ll definitely book Virginia again. Everything was as I left it.
I would trust Virginia implicitly with my pets! She’s been my pet sitter for over two years now, and I trust her advice when I’m making decisions about the health and wellbeing of my dogs. I love that when I go out of town, my pets are in the best hands, and if something goes wrong (my dog Ella is extremely anxious) I know that Virginia can handle it. Virginia is the best!
