Reviews
Valerie met all my expectations. I have an insulin dependent older dog as well as a two-year-old pup. She kept me up to date with pictures of the dogs on their walks and sitting cuddle up with you on the couch. I was so comforted to see them next to her.,I knew they were happy.😃
Valerie was wonderful! She spent lots of time with my pups, sent pics and updates. Highly recommend her!
Valerie took great care of my fur babies including my parrot. She even made sure my plants stayed alive while I was away. Very happy with her services!
Valerie was incredibly amazing. Sent updates, treated my dog as if he was her own. Was very accommodating. Will use Valerie again.
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.

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.
