Highlights
Pet care experience
Working breed guru (;
I rescued my own quirky, energetic, and spirited working dog, and I love her for all the ways she has challenged me and helped me learn so much about positive dog behavior training. After nearly six years and working with certified trainers, I now feel like a high energy dog expert. I'm fully equipped to keep these dogs active and provide a positive pet-sitting experience for any and all personalities.
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Virginia was great, she was super communicative and really worked with my anxious dog to try to get him to eat when he refused to do so. They have a beautiful fenced in yard which is perfect for dogs to explore and sniff around off-leash. I would highly recommend.
Virginia was absolutely amazing with our dog Moby. To start, we had to book extremely last minute because our other dog sitter cancelled. Virginia was accommodating and welcoming! She was also very communicative from the time of booking regarding drop off, expectations, etc. Then we get to her house, she has an amazing yard! She had toys for Moby to play with. Finally, we left him with her and received several updates! (More than I sometimes get when we have a dog sitter for a whole weekend which brought me so much relief and joy because I had updates on Moby’s status the entire time. I knew when he relaxed, when he ate, about his walk, etc. I loved it!) I would 100% schedule with Virginia again because of the care, communication, and consideration she had. Thank you Virginia for the best stay and being so accommodating!
Jack had another great stay, thank you for the updates. I know he enjoys your backyard!
Virginia was great! Excellent communication, loved getting updates with photos, and my dog looked well taken care of when I picked him up. Highly recommend!
Virginia was great to work with! It was the first time that Leo, our dog, spent a night away from home, and Virginia was very kind and responsive to his needs. Leo is an energetic working breed dog, and she made sure he had a lot of fun and exercise. She communicated with us frequently and sent us lots of updates and pictures, which we appreciated and eased any worries we had. We could tell that Leo enjoyed his time with Virginia!
Our dog had a great time! Highly recommend!
