Animal lover & dog cuddle-buddy
Pet care experience
I’m Valentina! I have always loved dogs. I have a cutie pie doggo named Lucy. She is a 7 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 dog is different, and I love finding out their personalities and what the enjoy! I want to make sure dogs are happy and comfortable with me!
Reviews
I'm so glad I found Valentina! She was super accommodating with the November holiday crunch and took great care of my cat Pancake. I felt comforted knowing she was spending quality time with Pancake while I was away and she always provided great updates and photos. Super willing to meet and greet to get the lay of the land with my cat and in my building. I would 100% recommend her to anyone needing a sitter in Northern Liberties!
Valentina spent several hours with our anxious-but-lovely dog and it was so nice to know he was in caring, capable hands! Communication, kindness… all important traits that made us feel safe and happy away from home. Highly recommend!
Valentina did a great job with our large dog. He has some anxiety and she was attentive to his needs. She was reliable and communicative. I would definitely trust her with our dog again.
When our last sitter moved away we were faced with the challenge of trying to find someone who we could trust with our critters and our home. I’m not a very trusting person and don’t let just anyone into my home. I scoured our local community Facebook for sitter recommendations and Valentina’s name came up multiple times with great feedback. Upon the initial meeting, Valentina was very courteous and attentive. She also had a calming demeanor about her as my finicky cats approached her and let her pet them. During her visits I received multiple updates and images. When we got home, none of the cats greeted us as they got more than enough attention from Valentina. You can definitely tell that Valentina cares a lot about animals. We will definitely be booking her again!
About Valentina D.

Skills
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!
Home
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?

Any work I do is from home so I usually have plenty of time to take care and hang out with animals! It’s always my favorite part of the day.
