Pet care experience

weenie & a pug ready to play!

Big dogs, little dogs , senior citizens, medical problems , puppies … I can do it !! I’ve been a professional dog sitter on and off Rover for the past five years. Since my time with Rover, I have gained experience with house sitting, communicating with owners with lots of pictures and updates, boarding at my house with my babies, and developing trusting relationships with returning clients. I’ve been with my best friend Petro (Weimaraner ) since he was 2 months old ! I’ve been his dog sitter for 5 years and I see him every two hours on the weekdays. His owner lets me spend the night when they’re out of town so I am experience in house sitting! I have a 17 yr old senior citizen dachshund. I also have an 3yr old pug named Mochi ! She’s my sweet little girl. Along with my best friend patches who is a 9year old tabby cat ! I love animals so much and have surrounded them around my life for 15 years. I would love the opportunity to take care of your baby in a fun safe environment ! I’m a very active person and can also take your dogs on a walk ! I have a big backyard as well that is long enough to run in!

Valerie was amazing! We will definitely be using her again. My dogs were so happy while we were gone. She took them on walks, cuddled with them, and sent tons of pictures.

Before the stay: I left my doggies with valerie for 5 nights as I was out of town on vacation with my husband and I was very nervous before the meet & greet because my dogs have never stayed with anyone but family. We had a meet and greet before the trip to make sure my dogs got along with hers and if it was a good fit. During the meet & greet, Valerie and her sister made me feel so comfortable with leaving my dogs there and asked questions and answered any questions I had. I knew right away that they’d be the best fit for my babies. I was thrilled to have found them. During the stay: All I can say is WOW!!! Every single day I was updated on the dogs activities, feedings, and how they were doing. Valerie sent in so many videos & photos of my babies. Me and my husband loved every single one! Getting all the videos and pictures made our day and made us feel even more confident and comfortable with our decision. Not once did we second guess if they were okay because I knew they were being loved so well and the pictures and videos proved how much they were being loved and cared for. We felt so at ease the entire trip with their care. I can be very picky sometimes especially with my fur babies. I recommend them 100% you need to book with them! They exceeded every expectation and they’re truly amazing and I seriously can’t thank them enough for taking care of Guy & Pookie.

Safety, trust & environment

Petros owner gave me a copy of the house key. I’ll go into the house, get attacked with hugs and kisses from Petro and immediately take him out. He’ll go outside for one hour with toys and I’ll chase him around the back yard. The next hour he’ll eat lunch and I’ll put treats inside his toys so he can relax on the couch and chew his toys. I’ll take his toys and throw them for him to chase whenever im able to steal them lol. I don’t enter any rooms I don’t need to go in. I don’t typically watch tv. I’ll stay in the living room and backyard. If it’s cold weather I’ll do 30 minutes inside 30 out or 15 in, 15 outside. As far as my house goes, I have a senior who’s too old to do much. They love to sleep and are very friendly. I have a 3yr old pug that loves to play ! Your dogs will be safe in my fenced backyard. I have 2 dog houses for them to rest in. I leave blankets on the floor to sun bathe and also have shaded raised cots. They are allowed inside my house. My dogs sleep inside the house. The senior dachshund sleeps on the bed with my sister. My pug is crate trained in my room. Sleeps on the bed on the weekends. Your dogs are always welcome in my house and will never be sleeping in uncomfortable conditions.

Pets

A typical day

A visit with your baby will consist of physical activity or sun bathing ! Toys will be recommended and I love to chase them ! I’ll hide treats in the grass and make them sniff them out. I’ll hide treats in toys and also scratch belly’s ! I love to play tug of war and hide n seek with your baby’s as well! If you would like me to walk them I would be more than happy to do so :)

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs

Let me know if your dog has any medical problems or injuries ahead of time ! I would love to know the temperament of your baby and what triggers them. Also let me know their favorite toy or favorite treat ! Anything you think I should know to give them the best expierence with me and vice versa I’d appreciate!
