About: Animals have always been a big part of my life. I’ve grown up around dogs and know firsthand how much love, energy, and attention they need to stay happy and healthy. Friends and family often turn to me to care for their pets because I’m dependable, patient, and treat every animal like my own. I’m safety-conscious, punctual, and committed to making pet parents feel at ease knowing their furry family member is in good hands. Throughout the last 1.5 years of being a dog mom of my sweet golden girl, she has taught me how rewarding it is to literally stop and smell the roses! I want to be able to give all dogs a chance to get out and stretch their paws and energize when their busy paw-rents have to work or when life gets busy. I love to play frisbee with my dog to get out all the energies, but walks around the park, track, or hiking trails satisfies both of our needs! I truly believe dogs aren’t just pets—they’re family. That’s why I’m excited to bring my energy, compassion, and reliability to dog walking and give each pup the care and attention they need. I am currently only offering dog walking services but as I expand my journey with pet walking I am willing to open up for boarding and house sitting! I’m available for lunchtime walks throughout the week depending on your location, as well as evening walks (after 5:30-9p). I am available any weekend to spend some quality time with your pups! As I am currently only offering walking services right now, if you were to book your pup with me I would keep them leashed/harnessed during any walk or play time. If they were to come to my home, I would bring them on a short walk to the baseball field down the street where we could play catch with the frisbee and run freely as it is fully fenced in and my yard is not. I am a short distance from Crowders Mountain so if your dog craves adventure and a little extra workout, we can do that too!
“Valeria was amazing! This was my first time using Rover services, so I was extremely nervous about trusting someone to care for my pup the way I do. Valeria, my dog, and I had a meet and greet to discuss instructions and get acclimated. She was prompt with every walk, followed my instructions, and was extremely kind. Valeria sent many pictures of my dog, who looked like she was having a blast on her walks. I will definitely be rebooking soon!”

Rover is currently a full-time job while I’m part-time security guard for DSI Security. I was already doing pet services before/during the pandemic, so I like making connections through this application for more clients. I will be able to provide services accordingly with my schedule around the clock and care for your pet(s) whether it’s overnight sitting, walking or daily drop-ins! I can balance between DSI Security and my days off. The most important thing is making sure pets remain comfortable when you need to get away for a few days.
