Highlights
Pet care experience
Where pets feel loved
Hello! I'm Valentina! I have experience caring for pets of different ages and needs, including my 10 year old cat and my sister’s 4 year old dog. Most recently, I cared for a Giant Schnauzer puppy right through his crazy growth spurt, from the day he came home at 3 months old all the way until he was 7 months old! Working with a high energy, big pup takes a lot of patience, consistency, and structure, so I kept him on a solid daily routine with twice a day walks to burn off that puppy energy and practice good leash manners. I’m also a very active person and genuinely enjoy being outdoors, walking, and staying on the move, so I love being able to bring that energy and enthusiasm into caring for pets.

Qualifications
Safety, trust & environment
I love caring for pets in their own homes, where they can stay comfortable and stick to their familiar routine. I find that pets tend to feel more relaxed and at ease in their own space, especially when their owners are away. I’m happy to follow their normal routine, whether that includes feeding, walks, playtime, or any special instructions, and I’ll make sure they receive plenty of love, attention, and care while you’re away.
Ratings and reviews
I couldn’t recommend Valentina more. She has a cat of her own who she absolutely adores, and the way she cares for him really shows how naturally attentive and gentle she is with animals. She notices the little things, makes sure he is well cared for, and genuinely enjoys spending time with him. She is responsible and caring, but what stands out most is that her affection for animals feels completely genuine. She treats them as part of the family and takes the time to make sure they feel comfortable, happy and loved. I feel completely comfortable leaving my own pets in her care. I know she would treat them with the same patience and attention she gives her own, and I think any pet would be in very good hands with her
Valentina is a lovely and very responsible person. She has been taking care of my two Bernese Mountain Dogs for the past four years or so, and they always have the time of their lives with her. She cares deeply about their wellbeing and really takes the time to understand their individual needs. One of my dogs has some trust issues and requires a lot of patience to gain her trust, but it was clear from the moment they met that she trusted Valentina and felt comfortable with her. They always have an amazing time together! I get really anxious about leaving my dogs with other people, but with Valentina it has never been a problem (for me or for the dogs lol) She’s very attentive, understands their limits, and always makes sure they’re comfortable and happy. I honestly couldn’t recommend her enough, and I hope she keeps taking care of my babies for a long time!
Valentina is an animal lover through and through. I’ve experienced how punctual, attentive, and deeply caring they are with every pet they meet. Having cared for many animals over the years, they truly treat every pet like family and give them the best possible attention. If you want total peace of mind while you're away, Valentina is the perfect caregiver.
Valentina is a very trustworthy person! I have had her dog sit my puppy and she’s always been such a caring and responsible sitter. I would absolutely recommend her!

Schedule
I have a flexible schedule and am generally available for walks and drop-in visits in the morning from 7:30 to 9:30 AM and in the afternoon from 3:30 to 5:30 PM. I’m happy to be flexible and work around your pet’s routine whenever possible. A little advance notice is always appreciated so I can plan my day and make sure I can give your pup the time, care, and attention they deserve.

- Before spending time with your pet, I’d love to know a few things to make sure they feel comfortable and have the best experience. Please share how they behave around other dogs, any special needs or routines, commands they know, and their favorite activities, toys, or treats. The more I know about your pup, the better I can care for them .
