Pet care experience

Full-time Pet Caregiver!

My name is Valentina. I'm 32 years old, I'm one of the Foster Coordinators at a local shelter and I currently own 5 pets. 2 dogs and 3 cats. I've been working at the Humane Society of North Central Florida as a Foster Coordinator for 6 years, and it has been the greatest joy of my life. I spent 40 hours a week surrounded by cats and dogs and I can confidently say your pet will be in good hands. I was born and raised in a family where we love all kinds of pets and since I have memory I've always been surrounded by them in my own home. I've had cats, dogs, fish, bunnies, chickens and I have come to learn and appreciate each animal for their uniqueness and love they give in their own way. I have cared for dogs and cats of all ages, but my favorites are baby animals. I love caring for newborns and even though is hard work, it's very rewarding in the end. My love for animals is immeasurable and your pet will ALWAYS be my priority. I will make you feel safe and secure that your pet is in capable hands :)

Safety, trust & environment

My 5 pets are super friendly (I have 2 dogs and 3 cats). My home is not fenced but my pets never leave my side. I can leash walk your pet and make sure is never left unattended while outside. I also crate my pets at night or when I’m not home.

Valentina takes the best care of Clara! This is my second time re booking with her and I always know my Clara will be loved on and well taken care of with Valentina. She goes above and beyond to make sure Clara gets outside and is comfortable while I’m not around. She also brings her dogs to walk/socialize, and I always appreciate the opportunity for Clara to have a play date. I would absolutely recommend Valentina for all services on Rover, she takes top notch care of my home and my girl!!

This is the second time I have booked with Valentina and she always takes great care of Clara!! She updated me throughout the day, sent me lots of adorable pictures and always respects my home. She is a wonderful guest and I would gladly book her again and again for pet care!!

House Sitting • Oct 22, 2025

Having Valentina pet sit at my home was the best decision I ever made. I had her stay overnight and there were zero issues. I felt at ease leaving for vacation knowing that my pets were cared for as if they were one of her own. My home was exactly as I left it and I got periodic updates :). 10/10 I will 100 percent be using her again and couldn't recommend her enough!

My own animals are fed and walked before I leave for work but my husband, who spends a lot of time at home, makes sure to take them out to potty/play time multiple times a day. On the weekends we are always making aure we go to a dog park or any fun activity like that.

In order to provide the highest quality of care, I'm going to need you to give me the full rundown on your animal friend. Please tell me all about daily routines, favorite activities, health concerns, and behavioral quirks.
