Pet care experience

Attentive pet owner and sitter!

I’ve been around animals my whole life and grew up with both cats and dogs. I enjoy spending time with them and caring for them. I have one cat, Albert, who is very social and gets along well with both dogs and other cats. I would love to care for your pet!

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

I live with my partner, and we both love to shower animals with affection and attention. I have a one bedroom apartment so I am able to care for cats and smaller and/or lower energy dogs. Your pet must be able to get along with a (friendly!) cat who lives with me.

I will definitely book Valerie again! She was so great accommodating me very last minute. She was a huge help and my puppy very much appreciated his potty break and play time!

Valerie did such a great job taking care of Copper, my wire fox terrier. I know that he can be a handful at times, but she was very patient with him. She kept him well entertained and it was hard for him to say goodbye to her when it was time to leave! I totally recommend her for anyone looking for a very caring and responsible person to take care of their pets.

Lera is so wonderful with my dog. I think he likes her more than me sometimes. Whenever I need help on last-minute walks or long term boarding, she’s been super responsive and easy to work with. Would highly recommend her!!

Valerie took such wonderful care of my eighteen year old chihuahua mix Roger! She is so caring and treats your pets like her own. I felt so relaxed knowing that when I was out of town someone I could really trust was watching my best friend. I really appreciate how she sent me lots of pictures of him!
