Val was amazing at helping with the cats, especially as they were really stressed out. She is great with both cats and dogs. We have used her help before with our elderly dog and did not hesitate to call her again for help with the cats.

Val & her son are awesome, they took great care of my girls while I was gone to Ca for a week, they got plenty of outside & doggy park time as well as walks, they enjoyed my girls as much as the girls enjoyed them… She made this super easy for my first time, to know they would be well taken care of & sent me pics on a regular of how they were enjoying each day! Highly recommended A+++

My husband and I are huge animal lovers and have a menagerie at our house. We have a greyhound, a chihuahua, one cat, one hedgehog, and three freshwater fish tanks. We usually rely on our family members caring for our pets when we leave town. This May, there was a family wedding out of state and everyone was attending. We were at a loss as to what to do; we can board the dogs but we still had to have someone feed our cat, fish, and hedgehog. Upon my Mother's recommendation, I reached out to Rocco and Val to care for our pets. I am so so SO happy that I did!! Our animals received top-notch care from them! They each have specific dietary needs and techniques for feeding. Our greyhound has a sensitive stomach that requires eating on a specific schedule. On my recommendation, Rocco and Val were happy to come by our home on four occasions to learn our routine for the animals and to get to know our pets - it's a lot of information! We were gone for 11 days. Rocco and Val came by 23 times and kept all of our babies happy and healthy! I could tell that they spent time petting and loving on the animals. In addition to caring for our animals, they graciously offered additional services like checking our mail and ensuring our Roomba (robot vacuum) ran daily, They even offered to work poop patrol in my backyard but it was a wreck back there so I had them skip the yard clean up and let my husband deal with that part once we arrived home. We could not have been happier with the service provided. We had checked into three boarding facilities for our dogs before my Mother's recommendation and it was going to cost over $1000 for just my two dogs! I love Rocco and Val's pet sitting services and will absolutely use them in the future!

Valerie Forney is our family's pet caregiver that we have trusted and hired for many years whenever pet care is needed. Valerie provides excellent professional care and is compassionate, dependable, attentative and knowledgeable in caring for both dogs and cats as we have both in our family. In addition, she possesses outstanding communication and interpersonal skills as she provides care for our pets. Valerie has demonstrated the ability to develop a great relationship with our pets and therefore we are never concerned when we leave our pets in her care. We are assured each are receiving the best possible care and attention. I highly consider and recommend her to anyone in search of the right person for all their pet's care and attention and we will continue to hire her again and again. Pam Antwine
