“I cannot say enough about this wonderful lady! Friendly and flexible, my dog and my work schedule loved her. And when I had a family emergency, she allowed me to schedule a boarding on very short notice. If I'm ever in the area again, I will certainly be looking her up.”
“My dogs wait at the door for her when they hear her car and this is only walk #2. Valerie has a compassionate energy and spends time loving on my dogs before and after their walk. She’s a Gem!!!”
About: I have worked in the veterinary field for over 10 years and have experience with a range of animals including but not limited to dogs, cats, horses, pocket pets, and other farm animals. I am fortunate enough to have a job that allows me to work remotely. I also have my own menagerie of animals that I care for on a daily basis. With my flexible schedule I am able to care for additional animals. I will only be caring for pets in a client's home due to my own pets but I will treat them like my own for any amount of time I spend with them.
“5 stars !🌟 Ginger is so sweet and down to earth. She is very communicative and punctual. Ginger walked my dog for a few days while I was feeling under the weather.

I trust her completely and will reach out to her in the future for sure. Thanks 🙏 Ginger !! 🐶”
About: I have had animals my whole life. They are the most precious things to me. All of my pets have exceeded the average life span and were extremely well cared for. I promise to care for your animals as if they were my own. I am a mom of 2, a 10 year old boy and 7 year old girl. I am currently staying home with them for the summer and want a part time job doing something I love and am passionate about. I love to walk dogs, play with them, feed them, can give them medications, clean up after them, can do some grooming. I also love cats, and will play with them, give them plenty of cuddles, clean litter boxes, etc.

About: I’ve “pet-sat” since 2016 and it is one of my favorite things to do! I have taken care of dogs for people like my neighbor and family friends! While I pet sit I feed, play with, and occasionally walk their pets (if requested). I currently work in Irmo on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. Once June starts I will be working 5 days a week (same job, in Irmo).

I also have two other dogs in my house! One of which loves playing with other dogs!

If you're looking for someone trustworthy and kind to look after your pet, she’s the one!”
