Reviews
Exceptional! Due to work we have our little girl in three states. This is the first time we've had to use a sitter for Florida. Our girl is a senior, deaf, and requires a nite time med. For all the years of her love for us we promise her that she can stay at home, have an afternoon walk, and a sitter who will come in the early evening and stay all nite. Zoey loved Virginia and we arrived back to a very happy little girl. We put the trust in her for our home and our Zoey. A trust that we are confident we will give to her again.
This lady is the BEST! Our fur babies were so well cared for! Virginia is kind, caring, loving, knowledgeable and respectful. I think our dogs were happier to see her than us! ❤
Ginny is awesome and amazing! We trusted her in our home after having moved in for three weeks and our dog sitter falling through. Please if you are going on a trip or just need general dog walking or care, book with Ginny. I can’t speak highly enough for the care and kindness she has shown our puppy Bosco and us.
Virginia was amazing with Roux! Took excellent care of him. He took to her right away and had no problems. Highly recommend!

MAKE SURE TO CHECK OUT OUR PHOTOS: Sorry, the quality isn't great. I do what I can, but I am lacking in photography skills. Also, I am limited on past photos as many of our's were destroyed a few years ago. No worries! I might be a little slow to get them posted, but I am adding photos of those we help. While we are no longer doing transporting or pet taxi services I have recently uploaded photos of privately hired transports as well as photos from when BUSY B's donated time to transport animals to their new homes in other states for both United Paws Animal Rescue, Inc. & the Save Korean Dogs organization as well as to medical care such as the TNVR (transport neuter vaccinate return) kitties (shown in traps) for rescues like Hearts 4 Paws Animal Rescue, Inc. I thought you might still enjoy seeing the cuties we have the opportunity to hang out with.

Information Virginia T. would like to know about your pet
Time sensitive (life or death) situations per Rover.com's TOS we will take your fur-baby to the nearest vet to my home or where we are at with the animal. If near our place it will be Best Care Animal Hospital on Trouble Creek in New Port Richey as they come very highly recommended and it is who we trust with our fur-babies.
A typical day
Just like people pets have their own personalities with likes, dislikes, abilities to do things and more so we cater to the pet's desires. For pets that like toys there will be plenty of play time provided. So long as your pet has been socialized enough and does not have aggression issues walking them at the local park or around the neighborhood is definitely on the list of things to do during the day. We just want to make sure not only your pet and our team are safe, but those who may cross paths with your pet as well. Supervised outside breaks are available in our large fenced yard when staying with us or in your fenced yard as well. Length of outside time is in part dependent on weather during each stay and pet's willingness and health. We also offer lots of hugs, kisses and sweet talk to help your pet feel safe and loved while you are away. Please know that BUSY B's does offer Basic Training for you pup. We are not professionals, but can help to get your pet through some of the simple stuff at a lower rate than professionals will charge. Our training is done with positive reinforcement and patience. If you would like help with your pup just let us know.

There is no better way than to wake up each morning to knowing it will be another day of working with animals. Every day is a bit different for us as one day we might be pet sitting five different types of pets in one home then dropping in for a quick feed and walk in another home, and playing board games and chatting with an elderly or disabled person. On that same day, we may be busy building a website and planning and/or organizing a small event or picking up signs for a realtor and more.
