About Virginia
Experience: 10 yrs
I have 15+ years of pet sitting experience and am comfortable caring for more than one animal at a time. I have experience caring for various animals: dogs, mini pigs, cats, goats, cows, birds, rabbits, guinea pigs, hamsters, turtles, fish, and more. Currently, I have 3 large dogs named Bane, Hades, and Luna. I grew up in a house full of animals and have experience rescuing and fostering. I am a profound animal lover and am currently studying to become an animal behavior consultant. I am a US Coast Guard veteran, where I gained experience in first aid, survival skills, and emergency management. Last year, I acquired a bachelor's degree from USF. I work as a fitness and nutrition coach from home, so my schedule is flexible. I have my own transportation. I do not smoke. I enjoy creating a positive and engaging environment. I am comfortable feeding, walking, cleaning, bathing, administering medications, etc. My rate depends on what the job entails. References can be provided upon request.

Would 110% recommend Virginia! She is very professional when I met with her. I hired her to care for my dog, cat and house sit. Her knowledge in the animal field was amazing and very comforting to know. Having someone who cares so much about animals made me and my partner feel very relaxed while we were out of town. She texted us with updates and did video chats so we could see our babies. We always came back to well behaved pets and a clean house! Honestly wish she could come over more often!!
