Safety, trust & environment

I have an open backyard that has plenty of room. We always leash up before they dash off to the squirl 🌳 I have indoor gates and kennels, if needed. Just let me know what your pet is used to, we'll have a fun time 🥰

Information Virginia M. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know any quirks or unique needs, so we can keep the furry family as stress free as possible. If the pup isn't fully house trained, please let me know :)

A typical day

Fetch, tug of War and walks are My specialty! Pup puzzles and treat (soccer) balls are a fun way to keep pups sniffing and active. If a snuggle and blanket are more there speed, brushing and scratches are my favorite!

Pet care experience

I've been in a multiple dog family my whole life! I am currently between pets 🥲 I foster other dogs when I can :) I work Full time in Corporate, with a flexible schedule so I can take care of my dog and do College Softball Coaching 3 days a week! Needless to say, I love to play fetch! I love helping busy people and vacationers make sure their furry family members are cared for, as if they were home! I know the feeling of wanting a lovable and reliable person looking after my dog when I'm gone at softball games or working late. I'm very flexible after work, so let me know if you need any last minute drop ins or walks! I'm here to help! House sitting can include vacuuming, taking garbage to the curb, sump pump monitoring and yard 💩 pick up.

Virginia was wonderful. We had trouble with flights getting home and she stepped right in and stayed an additional couple of days. It really helped us during a stressful time. She even shoveled snow while we were gone during a snowstorm. The house was well kept and most importantly our dog Ruby was very happy and content.

Thank you! From our pup and us. Nice to be able to get away and not worry about our pup. Having a responsible and caring person makes a difference. Thanks!

Virginia was wonderful - great communicator, thoughtful, and my dogs seemed to really love her. 10/10 - highly recommend. We came home to very happy smiley dogs!
