Safety, trust & environment

I'm home most of the day. It's easy for me to take a break from what I'm doing to play with your pup, go for a walk around the block, or out to the park for some fun. There are so many fun places to explore in and around Solana Beach and Del Mar. I may leave for an hour or two during the day for yoga or the gym.

Information Virginia L. would like to know about your pet

All dogs must be able to be left alone for a period of time without barking. I may take your pup down to the beach if I feel they will be ok with the stairs and people/other dogs. I will stay in the leashed area and keep them on the leash at all times. Prior illness or other issues, especially known fears of cars, planes, fireworks, etc. Schedule is important. Chewing history. Overall training experience is helpful to know. Temperament with other dogs, kids, etc. Medication needs. Favorite toys, tricks, and treats. Anything else that would be helpful to know!

A typical day

On a typical day I will wake up and take the dogs for a walk. Then have some snuggles as we make coffee and have breakfast outside in the sun. Pups often like to take a nap in the sun after breakfast while I work on my computer and get a few things done. I'll break for lunch and go for a walk around the block. At the end of the day we'll head down the steps and go for a walk on the beach or head out to the park. I specialize in evening walks for my dog walking clients in Solana Beach. I can be available after 5pm until 10pm to check on your pup and give them some love and get some exercise when you have other plans in the evening.

Pet care experience

I always honor and treat my clients like family. I especially love working with active, high energy dogs that are responsive to treats and training. Senior dogs and dogs with special needs also hold a special place in my heart. **Now offering both boarding and in-home care**

Virginia provided great care for Jade during her stay! Virginia is responsive and has great communication. She took Jade for lots of walks, and ensured she had plenty of exercise. Would highly recommend Virginia to others - thank you!

Virginia took care of our dog for a few nights. She was professional, communicative and our dog was immediately comfortable with her. She took him on long walks, sent photos, and was flexible with our timing. All around great experience, highly recommend her.

We’re so thankful that our pup was able to stay with Virginia while we were at the hospital for the birth of our daughter. Virginia was incredibly flexible and gave us total peace of mind that our fur baby was well taken care of. Thank you so much again for everything, Virginia!! Samba’s looking forward to her next stay!

Virginia was great and updated us daily with photos. Our pup loved the big grassy backyard.
