House Sitting · Visits · Virginia in Sherborne, United Kingdom
I’m based in Sherborne, and I have loved animals my whole life. Over the past 10 years I have worked with Holidog looking after all sorts of pets. I believe that the best care comes from finding out the little things that your pet loves or needs, whether it is cuddles, long walks, grooming or quiet time.
My care is built around making your pet’s routine feel normal and enjoyable while you’re away. Where necessary, I can administer medication confidently and I’ll keep you in the loop with photo updates so you can actually see how they’re doing. I also have a vehicle, which means I can travel to a wide geographical area around Dorset and Somerset.
When I’m house sitting, your pet gets to stay in their own familiar space with their usual smells, spots, and schedules. I focus on quality time as well as essentials, making sure they’re fed, walked or played with, and settled before I go. You can expect a calm, tidy presence in your home and a pet who’s been properly cared for.

One of the most loved pet sitters on Holidog, according to clients
We loved having Virginia look after our puppy. She clearly adores dogs. She coped well with taking him for a walk and with his raw diet. We'll definitely be asking her back again.
Helped me out very last minute. The dogs were very much looked after and great communication and always kept in contact I can’t thank you enough Virginia 🥰
Virginia was such a lovely lady, she looked after my two dogs spaniel and Labrador. Both my dogs like to keep busy including working in the garden and in house and they were kept fully occupied in the day. Both dogs are on medication, and this can be located, especially for my Labrador, who is very nervous. My house was amazing when I arrive home early this morning. I would definitely book her again if required

Considering this was quite a last minute ask, Virginia was absolutely brilliant! She was easily contactable, she listened to everything we had to say about our dog and during her stay she treated both our dog and home with the utmost respect! She looked after our lil boy so well! We couldn't have asked for anything or anybody better. Highly recommend her.
Can not give 5 stars as I cancelled the booking due to a family member being able to look after my pets but Victoria seemed to be a lovely approachable person
I cannot recommend Virginia highly enough, she is so nice and the dogs adored her ! we now feel we can use her regularly and now be able to go on holiday. It was worth paying the fee to Holidog as it would cost 10 times that much to try and find someone so nice and reliable as Virginia.
