Safety, trust & environment

I like to ask questions regarding their pets routine, conditions, etc. It helps me get to know more about the owner as well as their companion. I will always make sure their pet feels safe and that they can trust me. I like to greet myself with pets by holding my hand out for them to smell so that I can pet them with their permission.

Information Virginia R. would like to know about your pet

Any health conditions about their pet would be helpful, and knowing any kind of routine the pet may have. Anything their pets love to do.

A typical day

I usually just spend some quality time with the pet. I make sure their water is clean and that they’ve eaten. I take them out on walks (usually in the afternoon or evening). If it’s a hot day and the pet owner requests that I don’t take them out for a walk, then what I do instead is have them be out in the yard (if the owner has one. If not I keep them inside).

Dogs are sooo cute! I love them!

Pet care experience

I love playing with dogs! They are so fun to play with. Of course, I do make sure they are well fed and that they’ve gone on their walks. I like to make sure their feeding area is clean so that they don’t pick any germs or parasites and get sick. If they have medication to take, I will happily give it to them without any fear of them potentially biting me or being a bit aggressive.

Virginia does such a great job caring for my cats. I use her regularly and my cats enjoy spending time with her.

Virginia was such a great help to my cats. They are pretty low maintenance and just need some love and attention, and she gave it to them. I will definitely book her again.

Virginia was amazing with my dogs. She was responsible, communicative, and it's obvious she really loves animals and they know it. I would not hesitate in highly recommending her and using her again.

Virginia watched my 3 dogs while my husband and I were away for a ski trip at our home. I have a German Shepard, a husky and a great dane. We felt at ease with her watching our big dogs at the comfort of our home, and we felt like they were left in good hands. It meant so much to us having Virgina watch them while we were away and not having to worry about how our great dane would get their daily oral heart medication.
