Pet care experience

Dog Loving Grad Student

When I was 12, I begged my parents to let me get a dog and since then have persuaded my family to get two more. I have been caring for dogs, my own along with those of friends and family, since a young age and have experience walking and sitting all kinds of dogs from terriers to doodles. On top of that, I have a strong work ethic, am highly reliable, and have invaluable communication and people skills.

Safety, trust & environment

I have lots of experience managing dogs both in small apartments and larger houses, so am used to using crates, fences, and doggie doors. Moreover, I have years of experience house sitting for babysitting clients, so am trustworthy when left alone in homes with loved ones.

I was out for 9 days and needed to trust someone to take my puppy out for a walk twice a day and Valentina showed I can trust her.

Valentina was very reliable and amazing with my dog! My dog is an anxious, behavioral rescue and she was not phased. She was very trustworthy and friendly. Would not hesitate to hire her again.

I would love to know if your dog has any special needs or behaviors that I should know about. Also, if you have a big dog please let me know if they pull on the leash as I have a slightly weak right knee. Also, please let me know if you are comfortable with your dog going off leash!
