Pet care experience

I love all animals with all my heart!

I’ve always had pets growing up as a child, I have taken care of 4 dogs since I was 8. My love for them keeps growing with the years. I have taken care of any animal found abandoned on the street or badly treated, for me they all deserve care and love. I have volunteered at animal sanctuaries so I feel confident to take care of any sort of dog or cat. I am used to having lots of pets around, I love to walk them, cuddle, feed and bathe if needed. I am used to all sort of ages and breeds.

Virginia was great. We met for a short walk before leaving our dog Nelly with her for the weekend. She gave us loads of updates which put our minds at ease! Nelly seemed to have an absolute blast charging down the coast path. Thank you Virginia 🩵

I made a last minute booking with Virginia and we managed to squeeze in a meet-up beforehand. Virginia took very good care of Maggie, taking her for lots of walks and out and about. She came home and slept for a day! Virginia was very responsive and kept me updated with photos throughout Maggie's stay. Would definitely recommend and will be booking with Virginia again!

Thank you so much to Virginia! We were anxious as we have never left our dog with anyone before. Virginia was so good at making him feel comfortable and us at the same time. Sent us so many photos and took him on loads of walks. Would 100% recommend

What a lovely authentic calm energy, both dogs seemed to have a great day with Virginia and she was a great communicator. Highly recommend.

Virginia was just wonderful with Albie. As a recently adopted dog, he’s still a bit unsure of new faces and change, but she let him take the lead and was patient and gentle so he could get comfortable on his own time. Albie had a very happy day with Virginia and I’ve already rebooked!

Schedule

I’m a freelance writer and I work from home. I have plenty of flexibility and free time during the week. I share my house with my boyfriend and my friends who all adore animals and would give them much love. I miss my family dogs very much and taking care of your pet would make me so happy. I am always looking forward on spending some time with a four legged friend!

Safety, trust & environment

I have a quiet backyard, it has a lovely shade and it’s very peaceful, so it is perfect for a day sitting. For the night I am happy to have your pet over unless it’s a big dog then I would prefer staying over at the owner’s home. I am very tidy and respectful, I will leave your house just as I have found it and I do believe the animal will feel safer being at their own home.

A typical day

I love doing coastal walks around Cornwall, as well as exploring new places in nature. I always try to walk in rural and quiet areas. Beaches in the morning are lovely as only dog walkers are usually there.
