Reliable & Caring Pet Sitter

I have been responsibly caring for pets since I was 14 years old, which has given me many years of hands-on experience with animals. I currently care for four dogs, including a German Shepherd and mixed breeds, as well as two cats of different breeds. This has helped me develop a strong understanding of different temperaments, energy levels, and care needs. I have experience caring for puppies, adult pets, and senior animals, and I am attentive to how their needs change with age. I am very patient, loving, and reliable, and I always strive to provide a calm, safe, and nurturing environment. I follow routines carefully, respect schedules, and adapt easily to each pet’s unique personality to ensure they feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for at all times.

House Sitting • May 24, 2026

Valeria was the first person my timid mini bernedoodle immediately warmed up to. She has that warm quiet demeanor. She was our house sitter my two babies and I felt they were in good hands. She let them be in the bed with her, sent me a picture and very attentive to my “puppy manual” that I leave for house sitters. She came on time and checked in with me before leaving. I will definitely ask her to have sleepovers with my dogs.

My stepdaughter Valeria is an avid animal lover. She has a genuine connection with dogs and cats. Valeria grew up with multiple dogs and cats in her home. She is extremely kind and has a truly gentle spirit, which I think is why pets love her just as much as she loves them. Anyone would be fortunate to have Valeria as a pet sitter for their furry family members.

I can’t recommend Valeria enough. My dogs are usually very hesitant around new people, so finding a sitter has always been challenging — but she connected with them instantly. It truly felt like she has a natural gift with animals. She was incredibly professional, followed all schedules carefully, and kept me updated throughout, which gave me complete peace of mind. Most importantly, my dogs were happy and comfortable in her care. If I could give her 10 stars out of five, I would.

I’d absolutely like to refer Valeria to anyone who is looking for a caring, patient, easy going and responsible pet caregiver for your furry ones. Max and Rosie were absolutely happy to see her more than ones which means that there was a great connection between them.

Valeria is an incredibly responsible, energetic, and patient person. She has grown up with dogs her entire life and she cared for dogs and cats of her own. She treats every animal with kindness, attention, and affection, and she takes her responsibilities very seriously. I have personally seen her dedication to ensuring that pets are safe, healthy, and happy. I have no doubt that Valeria will provide excellent care and will be a trustworthy and compassionate pet sitter. Any pet owner would be fortunate to have her care for their beloved animals.

I wholeheartedly recommend Valeria. Leaving my dogs and cats with her gave me incredible peace of mind; I was able to enjoy my trip stress-free, knowing they were in the best hands. She is extremely responsible, caring, and attentive to every detail. You can tell she loves what she does, and my pets adore her.

Schedule

Pet care is a natural part of my daily routine. I usually take dogs out for walks in the mornings or afternoons, depending on the day and their needs. I prepare their meals daily, including breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and I also provide healthy snacks in the afternoon. I make time for play, exercise, and attention throughout the day. I personally handle bathing and grooming, including brushing, to ensure pets are clean, comfortable, and well cared for.

Safety, trust & environment

I always prioritize the safety and well-being of every pet in my care. I make sure pets are supervised at all times and kept in a clean, calm, and secure environment. I carefully follow feeding instructions, routines, and any special care needs provided by the owner. I am very attentive to doors, gates, and walk safety to prevent accidents. I also take time to build trust with each pet, ensuring they feel comfortable, relaxed, and cared for while they are with me.

A typical day

I love keeping dogs happy, active, and comfortable during the day. A typical day with me includes regular walks, playtime, and lots of affection. I usually provide up to four walks a day depending on the dog’s needs. We may explore nearby parks, enjoy fresh air, and play games that keep them physically and mentally stimulated. I also make sure they have time to rest, stay hydrated, and feel safe. I love giving dogs attention, belly rubs, and making them feel loved while their owners are away.

Please let me know about your pet’s personality, routines, and any special needs ahead of time. I’m comfortable with dogs of all sizes and ages, from small breeds to larger dogs. If your pet takes medication, I’m happy to administer it following your instructions. It’s also helpful to know their feeding schedule, favorite activities, and anything that helps them feel comfortable. I always follow the owner’s routine carefully and provide updates with photos and videos so you can feel at ease while you’re away.
