Highlights
Pet care experience
Experienced dog walker/ Vet student
Hi! My name is Valentina, I’ve been walking dogs for three years now in New York City with another app. I recently moved to California for Veterinary School and it will be my first time working with Rover! I’ve volunteered at dog shelters where I was in charge of walking and feeding them and also administered medications when needed. In New York I had the opportunity to walk over 150 dogs as a part time job while I was also working as a vet assistant in a clinic where we were fear free certified so I take it very seriously to establish a fear free and trusted bond with each animal. I’m really patient with animals and always make sure that they’re having a good time during their walks because it’s not just a walk for them. It’s their opportunity to explore and have some enrichment time! I speak English, Spanish and French so I do my best to establish a clear and transparent communication with every owner about their expectations and requirements of each pet! I currently don’t have any pets here in California so I’m always thrilled to get to spend some time with other pets through these job! I hope I can be a good fit for your furry friend!

Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I always make sure to communicate as much as possible with the owners. I like to provide a clear picture of how the walk/ sitting is going and to make sure they can feel as close as possible to their pets while they are not with them. I like to let owners know when we are about to leave and then during a pause send them a picture during the walk but I would usually put my phone away until we go back just to be fully present during the walk. I always make sure they have clean water before I leave and to leave them with a treat or toy while I’m leaving just for positive reinforcement!
Ratings and reviews
Communication is excellent and will definitely be booking again
Valentina is wonderful with my dog, and he truly enjoys spending time with her. She has a natural bond with animals, and it is clear that she has extensive experience working with dogs. In addition, Valentina is currently a veterinary student, highly responsible, consistently punctual, and always responsive and communicative.
Hi! My name is Stan and I’m writing for Valentina. I’ve known Valentina for about 4 years now and she’s one of my closest friends. Valentina I can tell you is one of the most hand-working and responsible individuals I know. In college, she walked dogs while taking many credits and working at the barns on campus. From what I heard, people loved her as a dog walker and she had so much fun doing it. She is so passionate about animals and she is dedicated to the study of veterinary medicine. She is with-out-a-doubt, one of the best dog walkers you’ll ever have.
Valentina always makes sure both of my dachsunds are well taken care of. And I can always count on her to look after them 🐾🤗
