Information Valda B. would like to know about your pet

My dog is very friendly, submissive and really patient. She likes walks and to play with other dogs, she loves kids too. Just a happy dog to be around anyone who can pet her! Loves her snacks, can play a lot, but if needed, nap all day too:D

A typical day

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. It's very relaxing and just next door, so we go around at least once a day. Three rounds make a mile.

Pet care experience

Hello, I had 2 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 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.

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!!

Val is great and a joy to work with. Our two dogs, Willow and Aspen, immediately liked her, which is unusual for Willow. It usually takes Willow a few minutes to stop barking, “Stranger! Stranger!” But with Val, it was within 10-15 seconds that she settled down and did a sit for pets. I took that as a very good sign and it gave me immediate peace of mind. Thank you, Val!!!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
