I live in a spacious 700 sq ft studio by myself! I don’t have any pets that live with me (they’re physically with family but I think of them as my own:) ) 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 :)

Information Valeria R. would like to know about your pet

No breed preferences. All I ask if that you please disclose if your pet has separation anxiety or is not potty trained. I am very comfortable with pets of all sizes.

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. And the funnest activity of them all…cuddles on the couch!

Pet care experience

My passion is making sure pets are cared for to the utmost quality. I started out 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. I of course adore cats as well and have always cared for my grandma’s cats when she needs the extra help ☺️

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!
