Valerie can care for
Availability
*This is a part-time thing for me.* I have a full-time IN OFFICE job (Monday - Friday 8am-5pm) but would enjoy taking care of pets over the weekend or for drop-in/house visits in the afternoons, and willing to stay overnight if necessary.
About Valerie A.
Communication
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I can not board pets at my home due to living in an apartment, but will follow any instructions given to me by the owner in their home. If no explicit instructions are given I would ask how they typically manage the daily routine as to not change anything for the pet(s).
Information Valerie A. would like to know about your pet
If there are any allergies/sensitivities, and what to do if a reaction does occur. If the dog has any known difficulties in situations, like with other dogs, people, or vehicles while on a walk. And anything else I would need to look out for in the dogs behavior (had pet sat for a dog that would eat fecal matter so I'm used to having to watch out for the more random quirks).
A typical day
I would play fetch or tug-of-war with dog depending on what they enjoy more, or if the dog just want pets then I would do that too. If there is more scenic routes around the home for walks then I would take them there and let them smell whatever they would as long it won't harm the dog.

Reviews
Valerie A. cancelled a booking 4 days before it was scheduled to begin.
Valerie loves my cat well. She sends a mix of pictures and is easy to get along with. She communicates well and gave medications without complications.
Valerie did an excellent job watching Mia! She sent lots of pictures and updates which was comforting and much appreciated! I would absolutely use Valerie again in the future!
3rd time using Valerie to housesit our 2 cats while we go out of town. Always gets lots of pics while we are gone. Great asset to Rover. Highly recommend.
