Pet care experience

Loving, safe home for your dog 🐾

Hello! I'm Valeria 😊 I specialize in caring for small dogs in a calm and loving home environment in London. Animals have been a big part of my life for over 25 years, and I’ve been fortunate to grow up surrounded by pets, including dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters, and more. This lifelong experience has taught me how to understand different personalities and provide each pet with loving, attentive, and individualized care. I’m proud to have many happy clients who trust me with their dogs and return regularly, and I’d be delighted to invite you to read my reviews to learn more about their experiences. I understand that leaving your dog with someone else is a big decision, which is why I always do my best to make every dog feel safe, comfortable, and truly at home while their owners are away. As I work from home as a Marketing Consultant, I have the flexibility to be present throughout the day and give your dog the attention, companionship, and care they deserve. 🟢What makes my home special I don’t have any pets or children at home, which allows me to give my full attention to every dog I care for. My home is calm, clean and safe — perfect for dogs who enjoy a relaxed environment. 🟢Communication I know how much you miss your dog while you're away, so I always send regular updates and photos during their stay. My goal is for you to feel completely relaxed knowing that your dog is happy, safe and well cared for. 🟢Before the stay I’m happy to arrange a meet & greet before the first booking so you and your dog can feel comfortable and confident. Feel free to message me with any questions — I’m happy to help and usually reply quickly 😊

This was my first time using Rover. One I contacted Valeria, who came highly recommended, she was very helpful and guided me through the process. Throughout the time my dog was in her care she sent frequent updates and pictures, putting me at my ease. I will definitely be using her services again. Thank you Valeria!

We left our Otis with Valeria for a two week holiday and he had an amazing time. We got regular updates and she has become his second home. He’s so happy to stay with her we’re always confident he will have a great time and be in the best care xx

Valeria took care of Coco over a long stay at a point when she wasn’t as confident with meeting other dogs and seemed to enjoy her stay. Valeria and her partner clearly care for the treatment of the dogs in their stay and the location is ideal both in the house and surrounding area with nearby park. Recommended.

Schedule

My daily routine allows me to provide consistent and attentive care throughout the day. As I work from home as a Marketing Consultant, I have a flexible schedule and I’m able to be present with the dogs most of the time. I usually structure the day around each dog’s needs, including regular walks, feeding times, playtime, and rest. I always adapt my routine to match each dog’s habits, energy level, and preferences, so they can feel as close to home as possible.

Safety, trust & environment

Your dog will stay in a safe and comfortable home with: ✔ Direct access to a fenced garden ✔ Several parks nearby for daily walks ✔ A calm, non-smoking environment ✔ No other pets or children ✔ Plenty of attention and supervision

A typical day

A typical day starts with a calm morning walk so your dog can explore and begin the day happily. After breakfast, we spend time at home where they can relax, play or enjoy cuddles. I always adapt to each dog’s personality — whether they are energetic or prefer a quieter routine. During the day we usually go for another walk in one of the nearby parks, where they can enjoy fresh air and gentle exercise. Back home, there’s always time for rest, grooming or quiet playtime. In the evening we have a final walk before settling down for a cozy night. Dogs are welcome on the sofa and bed, so they feel completely comfortable and at home.

Before the stay, I like to learn as much as possible about your dog to make sure they feel comfortable and well cared for. It’s helpful to know their daily routine, including feeding times, walking schedule, and sleeping habits. I also like to understand their personality, energy level, and whether they are comfortable around other dogs or new environments. Please let me know about any medical needs, allergies, or medications, as well as any specific behaviours or things that help them feel calm and happy. The more I know in advance, the better I can adapt to your dog’s needs and make their stay as relaxed and enjoyable as possible.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
