Your Pet’s Second Favorite Person

Trusted, Experienced Pet Care You Can Feel Good About Taking care of animals isn’t just something I do—it’s who I am. I’ve spent years volunteering at Humane Society shelters, working hands-on with dogs and cats of all temperaments, from energetic and playful to shy and anxious. That experience taught me how to make every animal feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’ve also rescued and raised my own pets—Bella (brown tabby), Nugget (orange tabby), and Mumble (Jack Russell Terrier from a kill shelter)—so I understand firsthand how important it is to trust the person caring for your animal. Over the years, I’ve gained real experience walking, feeding, and pet sitting for animals with different personalities and needs. I know how to read behavior, build trust quickly, and adjust my care to each individual pet. What sets me apart: • Calm, patient approach (great for anxious or shy pets) • Reliable, detail-oriented, and highly communicative • Experience with both dogs and cats of all sizes and energy levels • Genuine passion for animal welfare and safety I treat every pet like my own—not just making sure they’re cared for, but making sure they feel comfortable, secure, and loved while you’re away. You won’t have to wonder how your pet is doing. I provide consistent updates so you always have peace of mind. If you’re looking for someone dependable, experienced, and truly invested in your pet’s well-being, I’d love to help.

Valeria is amazing! We will definitely be rebooking her in the future. Our boys loved her and my dog is a lot as an old man and Val was very patient with him and understanding.

Valeria is an extremely responsible and caring person. Her own dog is always well cared for because she genuinely cares about his wellbeing and enjoys doing what is best for him. Valeria also always cares for other people and would treat other people’s pets with the highest standard of care and respect. She is absolutely trustworthy and can be relied on to not only ensure dogs get the exercise and time outdoors that they need, but also to ensure that they are happy as well.

Valeria is the definition of a dog lover, and dogs love her back. The relationship she has with her dog is one of my favorite relationships that I have ever seen. Every time I see her around other dogs no matter the size she is fantastic with them and shows them love and attention. She's been around many dogs before and there's nobody I trust more to walk or take care of a dog than her.

I would like to know if they have any allergies, what times do they eat, and if they are comfortable being around other dogs when going to parks for a walk.
