Penny always loves staying with Virginia and comes home happy and healthy! Love all the pics she sends during our pups stay and gives us peace of mind that Penny is well cared for.

Virginia took excellent care of our dog Scout while we were out of town! We really appreciated all the pictures and updates throughout her stay. Scout got so much attention and love, and she enjoyed all the long walks and outdoor time - she came home happy and tired. Will definitely book with Virginia again next time we need a sitter, would recommend her to anyone!

Penny’s second stay with Virginia and we couldn’t have asked for better communication or care for Penny! We loved the daily pictures and updates and it was clear at pickup that Penny had a blast with Virginia and had really bonded with her. 100% recommend and will be booking with Virginia again!

Penny had a wonderful time at Virginia's house and came home very happy! I appreciated the easy communication before and during Penny's stay and especially loved the picture updates. We will definitely be asking Virginia to watch Penny more in the future!

We were incredibly impressed with Virginia's care for our 15-year-old senior dog. She clearly understood that our dog requires a lot of attention, and she provided exactly that. Virginia was incredibly attentive, patient, and friendly throughout our dog’s visit. She was also very informative, keeping us updated with photos and sharing sweet anecdotes about their time together. We highly recommend Virginia to anyone seeking a loving and reliable caregiver for their pet!

Virginia was fantastic with my Bernedoodle! She was attentive, caring, and kept me updated throughout the day with pictures and messages, which gave me so much peace of mind. My pup came back happy, well-exercised, and loved. I would absolutely recommend Virginia to anyone looking for a reliable and thoughtful sitter.

Safety, trust & environment

I live in a spacious house with a yard, close to parks and trails. I will be able to take your dog out 2-3 times a day. I love going on walks and spending time outdoors, as well as snuggling on the couch with a movie, so I can adjust to your dog's preferred activities and energy level!

A typical day

I’ll keep your pup happy and engaged with daily walks, plenty of playtime (fetch, tug-of-war, or their favorite toys), and cuddle sessions. For nature lovers, we can explore local dog-friendly areas, and I’ll always tailor activities to your dog's preferences!

Please let me know if your dog has any special needs or specific care requirements, I’m happy to accommodate to make them feel at home!
