Highlights
Pet care experience
Ex-Rescuer, Now Pampering Pets!
***PCI Insured sitter, for your peace of mind*** Former veterinary assistant with 3 years running a small dog rescue. My background provides valuable experience recognizing normal pet behaviors and basic care needs. I work remotely, allowing flexible scheduling and attentive care in your pet's familiar environment. My rescue experience taught me patience with various temperaments and personalities - from shy cats to energetic dogs. I'm comfortable following your established routines for feeding, medications, and exercise while providing regular photo updates. I welcome dogs and cats of all sizes and am experienced with multi-pet households. I'll treat your pets with the same care and respect I'd want for my own furry family members.
Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I believe every pet has unique needs, and my approach is entirely customized to what works best for your pets and family. During our meet and greet, we'll discuss your pet's specific routines, preferences, and any special considerations to ensure seamless care. Whether your pet thrives on quiet companionship, needs extra exercise, requires medications, or has anxiety triggers, I adapt my care style accordingly. I follow your established routines while remaining flexible for your pet's comfort and security.I maintain open communication throughout each stay with regular updates and photos. Your home's security is equally important - I'll follow all protocols for locks, alarms, and access while treating your space with the same respect I'd want for my own home.
Ratings and reviews
Valarie did a great job with Bosco. She was professional and responsive, took great care of Bosco, and left my house in pristine condition ❤️
Valarie took such good care of our sweet and shy shepherd, and he warmed up to her very quickly! She is also a good, prompt communicator. Also, Valarie proactively asked about food allergies and accommodated ours to help keep our kitchen free from those allergens.
Valarie is the most wonderful sitter. Our dog loves when she watches him and it makes our life easier knowing Valarie is taking care of our Big Guy!
Valerie was amazing with my pups! They were well cared for and my house was well taken care of. Highly recommend!!
Valarie was on time, as always, and took care of our pups with very short notice.
Valarie was outstanding once again for our pups. She handles our younger pup, who has lots of energy, with balance with our senior pup.

Schedule
I work remotely Monday-Friday, making in-home pet care a natural fit. Available for house sitting any night of the week for single or extended stays with advance notice. Weekday availability until 6pm (except Monday/Wednesday until 2pm due to standing commitments). For overnight stays, I use your home as my base while occasionally checking on my own family, and my rescue pet who is still acclimating to family life. All timing is coordinated with owners beforehand. My schedule adapts to your pets' routines - whether they need morning energy, midday companionship, or consistent evening care. We'll discuss the perfect arrangement during our meet and greet!
