Safety, trust & environment

Safety is important to me. When walking a dog, I prefer they have a very good escape-proof harness. I like to know in detail how you care for your dog or cat so I can do things exactly as you do. It’s important that they feel safe and that things feel similar for them. I’m just another friend coming to hang out with them!

Information Valentina D. would like to know about your pet

Let me know of any behavioral problems or aggression. If they sometimes need a muzzle, don’t forget to let me know where it is! If your dog pulls on walks, please have a harness in their size so they don't escape! Their safety is my priority.

A typical day

Every dog is different. Tell me a little about your doggo so I can know what they like and don’t like. How often do they like going on walks? Do they like playing fetch? Are they motivated by food? Would you like me to work on some tricks with them?

Pet care experience

I’m Valentina! I have always loved dogs. I have a cutie pie doggo named Lucy. She is an 8 year old rescue. I’m the kind of person who will notice the dog or cat at a party or restaurant, and will sit on the floor with them, before I notice the humans! I have lots of experience fostering kittens. I’ve lived with puppies, and adult dogs. I love training them. In an ideal world, I would have my own farm where I could have all the animals of my dreams. And probably at least 20 dogs! Every animal is different, and I love finding out their personalities and what the enjoy! I want to make sure dogs and cats are happy and comfortable with me!

Valentina was great! It was my first time leaving my diabetic cat in the care of someone else, so I was super nervous, but she sent me regular updates and everything went seamlessly. Will definitely book with her again! 🙂

Can’t say enough great things about Valentina! She did drop in visits for our cat for two weeks while we were overseas and I was at ease the whole time knowing he was in her care. She sent photos and videos during her visits and was very easy to communicate with. Im normally very anxious leaving him with anyone but you could tell by the videos how much he loved her and how relaxed he was. Highly recommend Valentina!
