Highlights
Pet care experience
Bestie to your furry bestie!
My passion is making sure pets are cared for to the utmost quality. My pet sitting journey started by walking my neighbors dogs when I was just 12 years old and continued dog walking/pet sitting for family members/friends/clients until graduating college. My pet sitting has grown over the years and I definitely have grown more in love with it. I have a lot of cat sitting experience as well and have always cared for my grandma’s cats when she needs the extra help.

Ratings and reviews
Valeria was on time and communicative. Ursa always looks so happy in the photos, clearly having a good time under Valeria’s care.
Valeria was amazing with my dog, and I was lucky she was able to take him for the weekend so last minute. It can be a struggle to get him to eat sometimes, but she had no problem keeping him fed, which I'm so happy about. My dog was, of course, ready to go home, but I could tell she took really good care of him and kept him exercised. I absolutely would go to her again and recommend her to anyone looking for a sitter.
Valeria R. cancelled a booking within a day of the start date.
Valeria was communicative during her stay with Ursa and followed our instructions to a T. Would definitely hire her again!
I want to share my recent experience with Valeria, who looked after Mr. Lucian, my Bengal cat, while I was away in Colorado. Although Mr. Lucian can get a bit anxious when he's not at home, Valeria sent me regular photos that showed that he settled in beautifully under her care. Valeria is a wonderful communicator and punctual when it came to picking up and dropping Mr. Lucian—a real life saver for someone with a busy schedule like mine. Valeria’s genuine enjoyment of spending time with animals, especially cats in my case, really comes through. Her attention to detail and warmth made me feel confident that Mr. Lucian was in good hands. I will definitely reach out to Valeria first for any future pet-sitting needs, and I highly recommend you consider doing the same.
Valeria is compassionate and loving to ALL animals. She is responsible and trustworthy but the best thing about her is she will love your pup just as much as you do!

I’m currently only pet sitting part-time. I am available after 5pm Monday to Thursday and after 12pm on Fridays. I’m available all weekends. This can be variable as I will also have days off from work which will allow me to have more availability.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I live in a spacious 700 sq ft studio by myself. I also don’t have any pets that live with me. I live in a very dog friendly community with a dog park and large fields of grass perfect for off-leash time. I do also have large windows perfect for bird watching for my meow-er companions :)
A typical day
I’m very active and love going on long hikes in Rock Creek and Great Falls. I’ve done it more times than I can count with my Aussiedoodle when she lived with me and she was always the happiest camper after. I’m a big believer of engaging and playing with your pets so I will definitely get on the floor and play with their favorite toy. Definitely can’t forget about the cuddles on the couch!
