Virginia was wonderful with my dog Charlie. It’s usually hard for me to leave him with a sitter but I felt very good about it after meeting her. She sent me pictures during my time away and I came home to a happy dog and clean house. I highly recommend her and look forward to having her watch Charlie again.

Thank you Virginia! - we are very happy. Trust and confidence are the fundamentals for a good sitter experience, and Virginia is all about both. Our dog, cat and tortoise were well cared for, the pictures and video were most enjoyable. Everything went as planned.

Virginia is a capable, dependable pet sitter/house sitter. She stayed in our home since that is where our dog Ginger is most comfortable. It's important to us that her daily routine isn't disrupted too much, to reduce stress while we're away. We're especially glad that Virginia was able to be there most of the day and during the night, to keep an eye on her because she's a senior dog. We're very happy with how well Virginia took care of our pup, and our home. She followed our instructions for caring for Ginger and sent daily photos and communication so we could relax knowing our pup (and our home) was in good hands. All went smoothly and when we got home from our trip, the house was clean and Ginger was content and looked well taken care of. We look forward to having Virginia sit for us again on our next vacation!

Virginia did a great job! She sent us lots of pictures both inside and in the yard. She fixed his food the way he liked it and gave him his glucosamine every day! We will definitely use her again!

Schedule

I am retired so my schedule is very flexible. I usually only have 1 - 2 hours per day with commitments so checking on your pet can easily fit into my daily routine.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
Dogs over 1 year old
Virginia can host up to 2 drop-ins per day
Let me know if your fur baby has special needs, favorite toys, or sensitive areas on their body. I also like to learn the best way to enter a home during a drop-in so I can reduce the chance of startling your pet
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
