Pet care experience

Reliable & compassionate care

I’m Valentina! I have always loved animals. I have a cutie pie doggo named Lucy. She is a 9 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 casually 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! And I always send photos and updates because I want parents to feel comfortable and happy while they are away, and know that their babies are doing great!

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!

Valentina was very communicative and sent plenty of pics! She was also flexible when Rover had the wrong address listed for the visit, which I really really appreciated

Valentina is the sweetest and friendliest sitter. Even our shyest cat warmed up to her really quickly. She is really communicative and makes sure to send plenty of pictures of her time sitting. Additionally, she made sure to keep the space extremely clean and tidy. Could not think of a better sitter for our boys.

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! 🙂

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.
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.
