Pet care experience

Hello and welcome! My name is Virginia , and I’m a fully insured dog walker/sitter who enjoys every moment of delivering pups and their owners what they deserve the most: top-quality care and lasting companionship. As someone who both grew up with and owned dogs since age 7 (I had a Collie, a Rottweiler and 2 Pitbulls), I bring extensive background in pet care spanning from walks, home boarding to offering personalized care to all breeds, behaviors, and ages-including seniors and disabled. This is coupled with 5+ years of professional pet service experience and passing the cat and dog first aid class by the American Red Cross. Overall, I love not only delivering dogs and cats amazing experience, but doing so all while giving their owners the confidence that they are entrusting someone who truly values their pups just as much as you do.

Virginia was wonderful with my dog Ruby! She was able to accommodate what I needed around a last minute business trip, and she took great care of her, and sent pics and updates regularly which was very much appreciated. And Ruby had a great time! Thank you so very much Virginia, you're an angel!❤️

Excellent sitter!! Came through at last minute’s notice. Understands the activity level and needs of a Belgian Mal and really exercised him. Sent pictures and video often. Highly recommend!

Virginia was great and Stella came home happy and exhausted! This was my first time leaving Stella (9 yo) with someone that I didn’t know. I was nervous, but Virginia was great - she communicated and sent pictures every day. Stella can be difficult with strangers, but she was great around Virginia. We’ll definitely be booking again when needed.

Safety, trust & environment

As for environment, my apartment is exceptionally dog friendly. This includes a huge patio, functioning cameras, 1000 sq ft indoor space, a large fenced-in-residential dog park, and the full freedom to make this space a place of comfort while you are away. Your pet will be treated with the same dignity and love as if they were my own. From physical to emotional wellness, nothing makes me happier than ensuring dogs the most positive, fun, and personalized support they deserve. This also means placing safety first, accommodating allergies or disabilities, and of course, continuously updating owners on your pets status. All in all, I’m a flexible, compassionate, and reliable professional who takes great pleasure in working with dogs of all breeds, ages, and behaviors. And with the traditional saying being that it takes a village, know that I’d be honored to become a part of yours.

Information Virginia M. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your pet has any special needs or behaviors. Any allergies they may have. I do well with all dogs even your most reactive dogs. I love all breeds.

A typical day

I love going outdoors with all the dogs I care for. Especially with high energy breeds. I usually take all dogs to at least 3 one mile walks/runs daily. Depending on the weather. I go on hikes nearby daily so they’ll also be out enjoying nature too. My place also has a private, secured gated dog park that I take pets to run and play safely to burn off that energy too. So your pets will come home happy and tired.

Being both self employed and working from home means that I have high flexibility to accommodate pet care needs that best suits your schedule. This includes Monday through Sunday care, as well as just about all holiday care, including Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year’s. That said, being home ensures that pups will never be left alone, and will get to go on daily outdoor walks, runs, and general outside play without having any time restrictions. In short, I firmly believe in one-on-one attention and physical activity. Dogs NEED reoccurring activity that accommodates their level and paces. This is why outside adventures are core pillars of mine-all to ensure your pet is mentally, physically, and emotionally fulfilled at the end of each day.
