About Virginia

My name is Virginia, and I would love to walk your dog if you live in Wellington's Eastern or Southern suburbs. I run a dance fitness business in Wellington called Never Stop Dancing. The classes are mainly in the evenings, which means I have some spare time during the day. Our wee dog passed away a few years ago, and we now have a lovely cat (husband is very much a cat person). But, I love walking, and I really miss having a dog to have adventures with. 

We live in Lyall Bay, and I have a car, so I can pick up your pooch, take them for a lovely walk along the beach (complete with games of catch, and plenty of pats), and bring them home happy (and dry) ... all while you are busy doing your thing during the day. I am happy to do short walks or long ones. I am also happy to do home visits in the Eastern or Southern suburbs, if you have a pet that needs feeding and lots of pats.

I am an experienced dog owner (up until recently, I have always had a dog), and have walked dogs for friends and family. I would love to spend some time in the great outdoors with your furry family member, so that they are happy and relaxed when you come home to them. 

Please feel free to get in touch if you have any questions. I look forward to hearing from you. Cheers, Virginia

I highly recommend Virginia. She is lovely to work with, has clear communication and is very efficient in looking after my cat. She sent a text every day telling me what she did and how my cat was doing, as well as a photo. I really appreciated that and it was lovely to see my cat. When I got home it was very obvious that my cat was more settled and less stressed than other times so it's wonderful Virginia was a good fit. I will definitely be asking Virginia to look after my cat again.
