total animal lover!
Pet care experience
I’ve taken care of dogs and cats of all sizes- from Yorkies and Tabbies to German Shepherds- since I was in elementary school. My neighbors, friends, and family have all trusted me to watch and walk their pets. I also have experience volunteering at my local animal shelter and working with dogs, cats, guinea pigs, and rabbits of all kinds. Additionally, I have owned fish and guinea pigs, and I currently have a dog.
Reviews
Valerie is amazing with dogs and personable with humans as well. She has her own dog and has also been around our two dogs. She takes great care and concern for each of them and their very different personalities. She is a hard working, loving, and a responsible young adult. There's not many people that I would trust with our dogs, but she's definitely top of our list!
Valerie is one the sweetest people I have ever met! Not only that, she is kind and thoughtful as well! From the moment we met it was clear that she loves animals. She’s incredibly responsible and trustworthy too. You can be sure that she’ll take the best care of your pet!
About Valerie A.
Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I can feed and clean up after pets, crate them if preferred, and walk dogs. I can stay with pets as long as needed to spend time with them, so long as my class and work schedules do not conflict. I have experience administering medication to dogs, cats, and even guinea pigs. I am comfortable with a wide variety of temperaments as well, and am very calm and patient when meeting new friends.
Information Valerie A. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your friend has specific needs or requires special attention of any kind. It’s also good to know any likes or dislikes so they are as happy and comfortable as possible.
A typical day
I love long walks and hikes, but I am also cool with a quick walk around the block. My own dog at home loves getting a chance to smell his favorite spots at a nature area by my house, followed by lots of cuddle time on the couch. I also love playtime- I don’t get bored of throwing a ball or tug of war. Some dogs I’ve watched have only wanted to nap while I’m there, and I am very accommodating to all energy levels.

Availability
I’m a college student with a flexible schedule and no pets of my own at school to take care of. I miss my dog back home! I work on-campus as well, and my supervisors prefer to work around my schedule. I have availability between my classes most days and evenings, so I have time to come by and care for pets.
