Pet care experience

Been an animal lover since 2003

I’ve been pet sitting for 9 years and I’ve always had a passion for animals! I’ve taken care of animals of all sizes and have ample experience with administering medications and various other needs. I recently graduated from San Francisco State University where I majored in Environmental Studies. I hope to work with animals in the future and have volunteer experience with dogs, cats, and exotic animals.

Safety, trust & environment

I’m a very respectful guest and I am flexible with whatever you’re comfortable with. I am okay with sleeping over, but I also don’t mind late night and early morning visits.

Virginia is fantastic with my senior fur baby, Kobe who suffers from separation anxiety. He loves her and is so chill when we get home you can tell he was super comfortable with her. She is a born Animal Lover and Kobe can tell because as soon as she arrives he brings her a toy and flops on his side which is an invitation to rub his belly! ♥️🐾

Virginia was a fantastic sitter for our dog, Buster! Buster isn’t the easiest dog to take care of because he doesn’t always get along with new people or dogs. But Virginia bonded with him right away and was a great companion for him while we were on vacation for ten days. She also left our house spotless! I highly recommend Virginia for pet/house sitting!

Virginia looked after our home and pets for the weekend. We have a Cat, Bird and Chinchilla and Virginia exceeded our expectations doing great with them all and we came home to a very happy animal kingdom! We would highly recommend and will book again. Thank you!

Virginia is sweet, reliable, communicative and wonderful with our quirky special-needs dog. She stayed at our home and it was great knowing someone was there with her who we could trust!

Schedule

I am currently looking for work outside of Rover, but for now my schedule is very open. I would love to fill my time with your cute pets!

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Virginia can host up to 3 drop-ins per day
I prefer to know how leash trained your pet is prior to meeting, and how your dog reacts to other dogs during a walk. Please let me know if there’s anything else I should look out for as well!
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
