Caring for Pets Like They’re Family

***Please note that Rover takes 20% of all services*** I’ve been caring for animals since I was five, and it’s been a lifelong dream to become a veterinarian. Over the years, I’ve gained hands-on experience with a wide variety of pets, including dogs, cats, reptiles, turtles, fish, and even horses and other livestock. I help care for my aunt’s dogs—a Golden Retriever and a Cane Corso/Lab mix—and her animals, including feeding, exercising, grooming, and monitoring their health. I also stay involved with my own dogs, making sure they get attention, exercise, and proper care even when I don’t live with them. What sets me apart is my lifelong passion and dedication to animals. I’m comfortable caring for puppies, adult dogs, and seniors, and I can follow detailed care instructions, administer medications, and provide companionship tailored to each pet’s needs. I enjoy bonding with all types of animals and make it a priority to create a fun, safe, and loving environment for every pet I care for.

Safety, trust & environment

I offer dependable and caring attention tailored to each pet’s unique needs and the service I’m providing. When I’m house sitting or providing overnight care, I make sure to stay in the client’s home to help their pets feel right at home. I stick to their regular feeding schedule, exercise routine, and give them lots of love and company. Plus, I keep the home tidy and follow any special instructions the client gives me. For drop-in visits, I stop by to feed pets, refresh water, let dogs out for bathroom breaks, clean up as needed, and spend time playing or checking on their overall well-being. For dog walking, I make sure each dog gets safe, engaging exercise suited to their energy level, while also reinforcing good leash behavior and ensuring they’re comfortable and cared for. In my personal life, I also help care for dogs and livestock at home, and I stay involved with my own dogs by checking in regularly and making sure they have everything they need. I focus on keeping pets happy, safe, and on a consistent routine.

Val did a good job taking care of my kitties while we were gone. She made sure they had food, water, and clean litterboxes. She even took time to spoil them with treats.

Valentina is amazing!! She took such great care of my cats. They loved her and they are usually much more shy. She’s the best.

Schedule

Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I plan my schedule around the pets in my care to ensure they receive consistent attention, exercise, feeding, potty breaks, and companionship. I enjoy spending time outdoors, so walks and playtime are something I genuinely look forward to each day. Because I recently moved back to Florida with Bailey, while Yogi hangs back with his dad. I have a flexible schedule that allows me to dedicate quality time to the pets I care for. I treat every pet like family and make it a priority to provide reliable, attentive care that fits their individual needs and routines.

Knowing a pet’s routine, feeding schedule, favorite activities, and any dislikes or fears helps me provide the best care. I also check for medical needs, medications, allergies, behavioral concerns, and home rules. This ensures pets are happy and safe, giving owners peace of mind.
