There’s no dog I don’t love.

Pet care experience

I’ve helped my sister train her puppy and I grew up with a dog. I dog sat for several of my neighbors growing up and am very comfortable and familiar with a wide range of dog needs!

Virginia was the best dog sitter, my dog really seemed to bind with her. 10 out of 10 would definitely hire again. thank you, Virginia!

Virginia is extremely organized and dedicated. She is always punctual and prepared for everything she does. I love when she takes care of my puppy because I know he is well looked after and showered with love!

Absolutely the most reliable, responsible animal care person that I have encountered. I’ve been utilizing her services for over 10 years, from daily walks to overnights and vacation getaways. She is genuinely attentive and caring with your animals. I can’t say enough, you won’t be disappointed.

Virginia has been pet sitting for over 10 years. She is so loving, kind and full of energy that pets can not help but love her! She is extremely responsible, respectful of home and property, and very reliable. Your pets will be lucky to have her…. I know ours have been.

Safety, trust & environment

I like to hear from owners how they feel their pets like to be interacted with and I’ll take their lead. I love using training treats to help teach new tricks, only with the owner’s approval. I give lots of pets and love to run around and play with all pets

Information Virginia R. would like to know about your pet

I like to know how the dog likes to be approached and if there are certain ways they like to be pet or played with. It’s also good to know how well they get along with other dogs in case we’re in a dog park. It’s also great to know of any allergies in case I bring treats.

A typical day

I’m a bit new to the area, so I’m still in the process of exploring and finding the best parks. I love running and am more than happy to take dogs to bike paths to run with them. I love brushing dogs, running around with them, and using doggie puzzles with them!

Availability

I work 9-5 (about 35 min commute each way), but I have lots of flexibility in the mornings and evenings, and most weekends. I work in downtown Boston and have an hour break for lunch, so I can take dogs out during that time. I’m happy to take dogs on walks or runs with me too
