Pet care experience
We are big time animal lovers and love to give them lots of love and attention! We give Sofia two walks a day, in morning and evening, and can take your dog on longer walks or hikes. We have an unfenced yard area and a very safe, walkable neighborhood. Expect lots of pictures and videos. 😊
Reviews
Virginia is great with Benson. This is the second time she has taken care of my dog and she is amazing and really cares for them.
Virginia was super communicative and great with Zorba! I'm so grateful that he had a buddy to check on him while I was gone.
Best person to take her of my dog I could find! She accepted my request on so short notice. She is also an excellent human being. I trust her completely to take care of my dog anytime and Benson is very picky. Great communication and cute pictures the whole time I was out of town.
Virginia and Ulises were awesome! Maisy can be very skittish and nervous in new environments but they were both patient and caring. Maisy had a great time with them and loved their dog Sofia too. Definitely recommend!

We both wake up at around 6 am and then work outside of the house from about 8-3pm daily. Please keep this in mind when booking—we can’t accept vocal dogs with separation anxiety.

Information Virginia S. would like to know about your pet
Out of respect for my neighbors, I need to know whether or not your dog barks excessively or when left alone so we can plan accordingly. Also, we have a short dog with three legs and thus, do not keep the house “dog proofed.” Let me know if we need to do that for your dog, and we will be happy to do it.
A typical day
I live in a small neighborhood with plenty of wooded areas, open grassy areas to sit along a small creek. We also have a back deck and unfenced back courtyard area where we spend plenty of time sitting in when the weather is nice. Sofia, our dog, loves to make herself a bed in the fresh dirt and survey all the neighbors and dogs passing by. My dog isn’t one for playing with toys, but I am happy to play with or go on a run with your pup if they are up to it!
