Highlights
Pet care experience
Pet lover in Nashville
I’ve always treated pets like family! Not just my own, but every dog and cat I’ve cared for over the years. From helping a nervous rescue settle into a new routine to caring for a diabetic dog who needed consistent, attentive support, I’ve learned that every pet deserves personalized care, patience, and love. Pet parents trust me because I pay attention to the little things; like routine, behavior, comfort, and communication. Whether it’s puppy care, drop-in visits, dog boarding, cat sitting, or administering medication, I make sure your pet feels safe, happy, and understood in their own environment. I’m experienced with puppies, senior pets, anxious dogs, and cats with specific preferences, and I always adapt to each household’s needs. I’m also happy to follow detailed instructions. You can expect reliable care, a calm and loving presence, and regular photo updates, so you always feel connected while you’re away. I’d love to meet your pup or kitty and become someone they’re excited to see 🐾

Valentina is amazing (: my dog mochi loved her tons and was excited to be back.
Valentina was great with Biscuit! She sent daily updates and took Biscuit to fun activities like a hike and farmer's market. I had no worries that he was being well taken care of and I plan on booking with Valentina again!
They’re were so sweet and accommodating. Great communication and they’re dog is very cute and friendly
Valentina was an absolutely wonderful pet sitter. She was dependable, attentive, and showed genuine care and affection for our pets. She kept us updated with messages and photos, followed all instructions carefully, and made sure our pets felt comfortable and loved while we were away. Coming home to happy, relaxed pets gave us complete peace of mind. It’s clear that Valentina truly loves what she does, and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter. We will definitely be booking her again!
Valentina treats dogs with so much love and patience. She takes excellent care of her own dog, and with mine she did an amazing job, she quickly taught him to sit and listen. You can tell she truly enjoys spending time with dogs and cares for them as if they were her own. Highly recommended.
Valentina took care of my dog Shofis, a 9-year-old Yorkshire Terrier. It was the first time I had ever left her with someone, as I was traveling outside the country and, due to a heart condition, she couldn’t fly. The experience couldn’t have been better. Valentina was very caring, warm, and attentive, and she looked after Shodis with so much love. My dog also needed to take medication in the morning and at night, and Valentina handled everything perfectly. While I was away, she sent me photos and videos so I could see how Shofis was doing, which gave me great peace of mind. When I picked her up, Shofis was happy, wagging her tail, and it was clear she had been very well cared for. I highly recommend her.

Schedule
Pet care fits very naturally into my daily routine. I work in the same building where I live and have a flexible schedule, which allows me to provide 3-4 walks a day, and frequent check-ins throughout the day if you decide to board. I’m available for boarding during the week and can easily accommodate morning, midday, and evening care, depending on your pet’s needs. Because I’m home often, pets are rarely left alone for over 4 hours periods, which is especially helpful for puppies, senior pets, or pets that need extra attention. Caring for animals is something I genuinely enjoy, so I make it a priority to give each pet the time, structure, and attention they’re used to at home.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I live in a cozy apartment equipped with a home camera for added safety, and I have a friendly, well-socialized dog who enjoys the company of both cats and dogs. I follow each pet’s routine closely, including feeding schedules, potty breaks, and daily exercise. My neighborhood is great for dog walks and enrichment, with plenty of space for sniffing and exploring.
Pets
A typical day
When caring for pets in a client’s home, I focus on keeping their routine as consistent as possible to reduce stress. I provide drop-in visits, house sitting, playtime, walks, and basic training reinforcement, while also making sure your home is respected and well cared for and I always provide regular updates and photos so you feel confident and connected while you’re away.
