Pet care experience

I’ll love ur pup just as much as u!

I am looking to take care of lovely animals to give me experience w/ all types and sizes. I’ve grown up taking care of pups and many pets, from detailed cleaning to deep cuddles! I currently have a very flexible schedule and love to fill my days with animals to care for. Unfortunately my pup passed and am not in the place to get another just yet so this gives me the opportunity to still enjoy them. I have much experience w/ big dogs and I’m not afraid of a difficult pup so feel free to message me with any requests! I am very accommodating to last-minute sits so don't hesitate to ask if it is short notice!

Valentina was great with my puppy Pistachio. She was reliable, great communication, and always on time. Pistachio became very fond of her very quickly. I could tell she provided him with all the attention and play time he needed by the way he would get so excited to see her upon arrival. I used Valentina for in-house pet sitting and 1 overnight. I definitely recommend and will be using her again soon.

Valentina has been amazing with my baby Pistachio only 8wks old. She was gentle and followed all the care instructions I gave her. Each time I checked the puppy cam Valentina was so engaging with him. She gave him all her attention which he enjoyed. As a puppy, I was initially worried leaving him alone but Valentina eased my worry after seeing (on puppy cam) how much she loved on him and never let him out of her sight. I very much appreciated all the pictures and check-ins of how Pistachio’s day was going. Needless to say, I will continue using Valentina for my little guy.

Although it was difficult to first get connected, Valentina was great with my small pups. She was professional, only a few min late. She advised me about their toenails and how the quick grows. They smell fabulous and look great overall a job well done.

Valentina did an amazing job with Leia’s bath. She was so clean and smelled great! She was very patient with Leia which I know is not easy because she hates baths!

Schedule

I currently have an open schedule as I am working from home part time with my 1.5 yo daughter. We am used to going on long daily walks with or without a pet so have no problem helping get your pup some physical activity if needed or doing the total opposite and staying away from the heat.

Safety, trust & environment

I appreciate notes or any details that will be helpful to personalize caring for your pet. I am comfortable with giving commands and being stern if needed or being as loose and laid back if your pup is more of the spoiled type.

Pets

A typical day

I love being outside and sunbathing or spending most of the day light outdoors playing fetch or keeping your pup company. I will adjust to your pets needs even if they prefer the lazy company indoors as well. I try to stay around as much as possible and usually only leave for 1-2 hours if needed to run a few errands or get some groceries.
