VIP Pet Care & Supervision 🐾✨

Safety is my #1 priority. Hi! I’m Val :) a big animal lover who truly enjoys spending time with pets and getting to know their personalities. I work from home, so your pup (or kitty) won’t be left alone all day. They’ll get plenty of attention, regular potty breaks, playtime, and of course lots of affection. I’m very mindful about safety and keeping pets comfortable in their routine. I live in a secure building and I’m close to a great dog park, so walks and fresh air are easy. I also know how reassuring updates can be when you’re away, so I’ll always send photos and videos so you can see how your pet is doing. Whether you need a drop-in visit, a long walk, or overnight care, I’m happy to follow your pet’s usual schedule and any little preferences or quirks they may have. My goal is simple: to make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and loved while you’re away :))

Valentin was fantastic - very communicated and professional. Always on time and sent me wonderful videos and photos of my cat. I felt very at ease and taken care of and my sometimes-shy boy seemed to take to him immediately, which I was very happy to see! Don’t hesitate to hire Valentin. 🩷

Valentin was incredible! He took such wonderful care of my puppy, was always easy to reach, and sent the most thoughtful video recaps throughout the stay. I felt completely at ease knowing my puppy was in such great hands. I truly couldn’t have asked for a better sitter!

Valentin was the perfect sitter for our pup! We received multiple video updates daily, and he was attentive, affectionate, and generous with multiple walks that kept our boy very happy. Additionally, Valentin was incredibly respectful of our home and took great care while staying here. Could not recommend him enough!

Valentin is always so kind and thoughtful! Our pup is so very happy with him and he constantly communicates with us, ensuring we are feeling secure about our dog’s needs. She’s lucky to have him, as are we!

Valentin's your guy. You can stop looking now. He stayed at our house for three nights and looked after our three animals - a cat and two dogs, one of whom has mobility issues and needs meds twice a day. It's always hard when you have someone new stay in your house and look after your babies, esp when they have challenges. Enter Valentin. He has an impressive background. More importantly, he did a superb job for us. Frequent check-ins, videos and pics. Asked detailed questions ahead of time and during our stay when he needed clarification. He made our trip easier and is a caring and compassionate guy.

Schedule

Caring for pets fits perfectly into my daily life. Working from home provides me with the flexibility to be there for your furry friend whenever they need me :) You'll receive plenty of video updates because I believe videos capture your pet's personality and daily moments better than photos. Of course, you'll get photos too, so you can enjoy both and have complete peace of mind while you're away.

Safety, trust & environment

Safety is incredibly important to me! I provide flexible pet care services tailored to your needs. Your pet will be very well taken care of in my (or your) home, where they'll receive personalized attention, plenty of playtime, and enjoyable walks in a safe and cozy environment inside a luxury & safe apartment building. If you prefer in-home care, I'll visit your residence, ensuring your pet's well-being with feeding, exercise, and companionship. Flexibility and a commitment to your pet's happiness are at the heart of my services, whether it's in my home or yours.

Pets

A typical day

I enjoy taking dogs for daily walks in the nearby park and with more time I like to explore some local hiking trails, like Fern Dern Trail! If allowed, we might even visit a dog-friendly beach for a change of scenery. They're in for a great time!

Please inform me of any of the following ahead of time: 1. Dietary Preferences: Please inform me of any specific dietary requirements or allergies your dog may have, so I can ensure their meals are tailored accordingly. 2. Medications: If your dog requires any medications, kindly provide clear instructions, dosage, and the schedule. 3. Behavioral Traits: Understanding your dog's temperament, likes, and dislikes helps me provide the best care. Are there any triggers, quirks, or specific commands your dog responds to? 4. Emergency Contacts: Share your contact information and that of your preferred veterinarian in case of any unforeseen circumstances. 5. Routines: Maintaining your dog's daily routines can ease their transition. Let me know about feeding, exercise, and sleep schedules they are accustomed to. By having this information upfront, I can ensure a smooth and enjoyable experience for your furry friend.
