Pet care experience
Ready to make your pets my bffs
I have had a passion for animals since I was little, often playing vet or zookeeper with the stuffed animals in my home (my real pets weren't as patient playing pretend). Growing up, I helped care for 4 cats and 2 dogs, one Border Collie with high energy and consistent exercise, and a Pomeranian with special needs. During college, I became an animal foster with my local humane society, taking in a total of 4 dogs and 3 cats during my undergraduate years, all with their own special exercise, dietary, and medical needs. I have previously worked locally for several pet services and am happy to provide any references you'd like. I finally decided to get a furry friend of my own, and adopted my dog Willow during the pandemic in 2020. She is my my whole world, and I'll make sure to love and care for your pets as if they were my own. Let me know if you have any questions, concerns, or need more information about my services. I can't wait to meet your babies soon :)

Safety, trust & environment
I am CPR certified for dogs and cats, and have taken several pet first-aid and safety courses. If you'd like verification, please let me know! While I will use these skills as needed in emergency situations, my normal routine with your pet will follow your rules and guidelines as their owner. I am more than happy to come for a meet & greet before services if your pet may be nervous/aggressive around new people. My own pup struggles with anxiety, and I make sure she's 100% comfortable before leaving her in someone's care. I'll bring plenty of treats and toys to help win them over :)
Ratings and reviews
Attentive and amazing as always!!
Absolutely wonderful! Always goes above and beyond and extremely flexible when travel doesn’t go as planned!
Virginia has been walking my dog skye for a few months now, she lives, super helpful in detailed comments, and upload the cutest pictures of my baby. She’s been super reliable and I enjoy having her.

Schedule
I am currently available full-time, 7 days a week. Please provide at least 24 hours notice for scheduling and 24 hours for any cancellations. In emergencies, I can certainly do my best to fit you in or cancel without fees.
- Cats0 to 15 lbs16 to 40 lbs41 to 100 lbsVirginia can host up to 4 drop-ins per day
- Please let me know general house rules ahead of our visit (no getting on furniture, not allowed in X room, don't walk on X side of neighborhood, etc.) Please make sure to provide details regarding your pets feeding scheduling, amount of food at feeding, where food is located, and any medication that needs to be included/taken at meal time. If your pet has specific medical needs, please be sure to include as much information as possible so I make sure they take medicine on time and are always comfortable. If there are any behaviors your pet shows in certain situations (leash reactive, nipping when playing, etc.), please let me know before visiting. IMPORTANT NOTE: If I am walking your pet, I will always solely walk them alone without additional persons or allowing other people/dogs to interact with them. While I am sure your pet is super cute (and I'll tell them plenty don't worry), their safety in my care is the most important.
