Pet care experience

Attentive and responsible!

Hello! I'm Val and I have been a Rover sitter for a few years. I have cared for over 30 different dogs, so I am confident your dog could be a good fit for me. My dogs are my family so I understand how precious they are to you. I have had dogs my whole life and always will. I also have advanced experience with dog training basics and walking. I have taken two 10 week courses in training basics, socializing and dog walking. I can be firm and assertive when needed. Dog's are so different from humans especially in the way they communicate, patience is key! I have placed my dogs in the care of others many times so I understand how stressful it may feel. I am confident that your pups will enjoy time with me and that you will feel at peace knowing they are well taken care of. I will do my best to keep their home life the same including schedules, feeding times and exercise. My care will be attentive and disciplined but always ending with play. I hope that your dogs will be happy to see me and enjoy time with me.

Val was extremely professional and I felt very confident leaving Sheldon with her. She gave us plenty of pictures and updates. Would recommend her to anyone! Thanks Val!

Val was so awesome! I just moved to WA and was hesitant to leave my pup with just anyone. Val did everything in her power to make me feel comfortable. She posted frequent videos and pictures of my pup on walks, playing, eating etc. Would highly recommend Val to anyone and would definitely use her again!

Val did a really good job with our little Miss Belle! She updated us through messages and instagram stories of what she’s doing throughout the day. She came back home happy ?

Dog Walking • Jul 19, 2019

Val is by far the best sitter on Rover! I have used her multiple times for both dog walking and dog sitting, and she goes above and beyond to make my dogs experience enjoyable, and to make my experience easy and without any worries. I would highly recommend her for everything!

Doggy Day Care • Jul 13, 2019

We contacted Val the morning of and she was more than happy to have our Remington over for daycare on such short notice. We were super pleased with the amount of photos and videos that were shared through her Instagram. We found it to be very convenient on staying updated with our pup's activities. We can tell Remington had a blast and hope to book with her again! Thank you Val!

Schedule

I currently work from home and have a flexible schedule. I would not be a good fit for daily/weekly recurring walks but I am great fit for times you need an extra hand with your beloved pup. Also bi-weekly recurring bookings are a good fit for me.

0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Val can host up to 1 walk per day
While I love caring for all dogs, please be honest about their behavior and quirks. Completely filling out your pups profile on Rover helps me take better care of them, after all YOU are the expert on them. •Fill me in on their personality! •Are they good with other dogs, large and small? •Eating schedule? •Are they on Medications?
These prices are for 1 dog.
