Pet care experience

Love taking care of pets

I had two rescues that came with their names, Bubbles and Champagne. I brought Bubbles from Singapore, but she just passed away from cancer after gifting me amazing 10y and now I only have Champy. She is very friendly, submissive and really patient. I live in the apartment with a spacious dog park that has a dog pool and plenty of space to run around. Toys too! I have a yard, so puppies get access to the grass anytime. I am very active, we might hiked every single hike in Austin and around. Don't be shy, ask for more details and flexible timings.

Amazing! She kept me in the loop of everything and gave me plenty of updates as needed. My pup came back very happy and I’m sure she had lots of fun!!

Valda was amazing with Taco. She was responsive, took Taco out for walks and also a doggie pool. I’d definitely be booking with her again.

Dog Walking • Jun 30, 2026

Valda was great to try to walk my baby girl. Aronia speaks with her eyes, and Valda picked it up easily.

I had a wonderful experience with her! She took great care of my dog and kept me updated, which gave me peace of mind. My dog came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well cared for. It’s obvious she genuinely loves dogs and makes them feel comfortable. I would definitely trust her with my dog again and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and caring sitter!

House Sitting • Jun 01, 2026

We couldn’t be happier with Val. She made our dogs and cat dreams come true. She played with them to their hearts content. Our Willie, which is a bit more shy immediately took to her. She also did things that were above and beyond, like watering my wife’s tomato plant. I have no doubt that we will re-booking with Val many many times in the near future. Thank you, Val!!

Safety, trust & environment

I have fenced yard, my apartment complex is fenced too, we have residents' chat, so if anything happens, there are people around that are always helpful and communicate if ever see a dog on the loose. Or turtle! It happened one:) I also will provide daily photos and videos, if needed, I can keep an active map of our walks, we usually walk 3 times a day.

Pets

A typical day

Our dog park has a pool and toys to play with, there is a pond too, so I usually take my dog to walk around it, as she prefers walks over the dog pool. Three rounds around the pool makes a mile and this is what we usually do.

Champy is very friendly, submissive and really patient. She likes walks and to play with other dogs. Loves her snacks, can play a lot, but if needed, naps all day too and if other dog doesn’t want to play she is chill too
