Happy and caring dog sitter

Hi! I’m 30 years old and I’ve been around dogs my whole life. I grew up in a house full of dogs of all sizes, breeds, and personalities—my mom always had rescues and mixed breeds, so I’m very comfortable with different temperaments and energy levels. Today, I have my own adopted 16 lb mixed-breed dog, and caring for him has only deepened my love and experience with dogs. I’m confident handling puppies and energetic dogs, and I truly enjoy walks, playtime, and giving them attention and care. For safety reasons, I prefer not to work with dogs that are overly aggressive or difficult to manage. My experience is focused entirely on dogs, so I’m not the best fit for cats or other types of pets.

Valentina loves animals like her mother. Her house was always full of dogs, and she helped take care of them. Now she has one Dog and she loves him so much, she adopted him. She’s definitely a good person to take care of your dog.

Hi Rover, Val is the best. When she adopted her baby Oliver she was so excited. If you ever hear her talk about her family's dogs back home in Brazil, you will know she is a true animal lover. I think Val would make an excellent care giver for a fur-baby.

Safety, trust & environment

I live in an apartment with a fenced area, which is great for safe outdoor time. I’m also happy to take your dog on walks outside around the neighborhood. I can feed, play with, and walk your dog, making sure they get plenty of attention, exercise, and care while you’re away.

Pets

A typical day

I like to balance physical exercise with mental stimulation, so we’ll go on walks around the neighborhood, explore new smells, and enjoy safe outdoor time. At home, I’ll engage them with interactive games, toys, and plenty of affection. I adapt activities based on each dog’s energy level and personality, making sure they feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for throughout the day.

Before caring for your dog, I’d love to know about their routine, personality, and any special needs. Please share details like feeding schedules, allergies, medications, fears, or behaviors I should be aware of. It’s also helpful to know how they interact with other dogs and new environments. I’m comfortable with different breeds and temperaments, and I always aim to provide a safe, calm, and loving experience tailored to each pet.
