Highlights
Pet care experience
Cat Parent & Dog Lover
Hi! I'm Ginny (they/she) and I looooove animals. I'm a pet parent to a 2 year old kitty, grew up with black labs, and have many animal nieces and nephews in my life. I get along with dogs and cats of all shapes and sizes, and I especially like befriending shy animals. My day job is as a career coach with flexible hours, so my schedule can work around your needs. I'd describe myself as patient and warm, and I can't wait to care for your pet!

Safety, trust & environment
It's my goal to make sure your pet feels safe with me throughout our time together. For food motivated critters, I love to spoil them with treats, and for those with food intolerances (like my cat), I know that being patient and warm makes all the difference.
Ratings and reviews
I really appreciated how much Virginia cared about Zoe & how much she respected my house. She clearly takes this seriously and does what she can to make these situations as comfortable as possible for your pet. Thanks for treating my cat with kindness.
Virginia is an absolute life saver. I was able to book with them last second for my two boy cats. They even spent extra time to hang out with my orange boy who loves some extra attention and stimulation. Virginia was very communicative and I felt safe leaving town.
Ginny has walked my senior boy weekly for several months. She is very patient with him, going at his pace and letting him sniff more than walk. Ginny is excellent communicator, always on time and genuine nice person. And best of all Saru loves her and is always happy to go on a walk with her. I can't recommend her higher and you will be lucky to have her walk you dog.
Ginny was so wonderful! They were patient and kind with our shy cats. They spent plenty of time making sure our little ones were eating and getting some love. Communication was also quick and friendly!
Virginia did a fantastic job following instructions and working super flexibly with us. Will definitely hire again! Thank you so much!
Our cats are generally pretty shy and anxious, but they came out to say hi and even cuddled and played with Virginia during her drop-in visits. I felt like the cats were very safe under her care through the pictures and notes left after each visit. The cats looked calm and relaxed, and the communication and details left about their eating habits calmed my nerves. The cats clearly liked Virginia because usually when we go on a trip for a day or two they are mad at us when we get back, but this time, even after 4 days the cats were clearly unfazed by us being gone and were just happy to see us. Whenever we go out of town next, we will be looking up Virginia again.
