Peace of mind for your furry family

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 great! We’ve never used Rover before, and she was very helpful in showing us how to use the app. I can truthfully say that this is the most comfortable I have ever felt, leaving Coco for a trip, we will definitely use her again!

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!
