Peace of mind for you, Joy for me

Pet care experience

I've loved and cared for dogs and cats for many years. I have given medication, provided frequent breaks, etc. for seniors and understand trauma behavior in dogs and cats.

I was traveling for a conference and Virginia took great care of Bailey while I was in town. He needs a lot of walks and she went above and beyond. I also appreciated her flexibility with drop off and pick up times and communicated often to let me know how he was doing. He has some separation anxiety and can also be reactive with other dogs so she made sure he was never left alone but also kept away from other dogs.

I was very pleased with the with Virginia's care of my dog while we were away and plan to have her watch our dog again when the next time we have need. She gave us daily updates with pictures and made him feel at home, very pleased, I would recommend Virginia to anyone looking for someone to watch their pet.

Exceptional Pet Sitter - A True Canine Companion I cannot praise Virginia’s services highly enough. From the moment I met her, it was evident that she possessed a genuine love and understanding for animals, treating my dog with the same level of affection and attention that I do. Throughout the duration of my absence, she went above and beyond to ensure that Lucca felt comfortable, safe, and loved. Her commitment to providing personalized care was truly remarkable. Not only did she adhere to Lucca’s specific dietary and exercise needs, but she also dedicated ample time to engage in activities that catered to his individual preferences and personality. What truly set her apart was her constant communication and updates. I received regular photos and messages, which alleviated any worries I had and allowed me to enjoy my time away knowing that my dog was in the best hands possible. It was evident from the updates that Lucca was not only well-cared for but also genuinely happy and content in her company. Upon my return, it was clear that Lucca had formed a bond with her which was incredibly heartwarming to see. It was evident that they had formed a genuine connection built on trust, kindness, and mutual respect. In conclusion, I cannot recommend Virginia highly enough. Her dedication, compassion, and unwavering commitment to providing exceptional care make her a true gem in the realm of pet sitting. If you're seeking someone who will treat your furry friend with the same love and attention as you would, look no further than this remarkable individual. She truly is a canine companion in every sense of the word.
