What is a life without a dog?

Pet care experience

I am a recent college graduate working as a freelance artist in the greater NYC area. What better way to make extra cash than by getting in some therapeutic dog time? I grew up fostering sick dogs and cats, nursing them back to health, and socializing them for the purpose of adoption. I also volunteered at no kill animal shelters while in high school. Always a fanatic of animals, I have an innate way with dogs that has been fostered in me from a young age. I am not at a place in my life financially where I can give a pet the life it deserves. That's why I want to work with dogs and be around them as much as possible. I would love to meet your pup and help in any way you need!

Valerie is the most trust-worthy person I know. She carries an energy that uplifts all those around her. And in addition, she has an innate and unique love for animals that's completely evident to anyone who has witnessed her connection with them. She always keeps her word and has yet to show any disappointment regarding commitment and responsibility. I would leave Valerie with my dogs any day!

Valerie has been my roommate and friend for over 3 years and she is one of the most caring, dog loving people I know. She grew up in a household that fostered many different types of animals. The Braaten family household will have anything from 2-12 cats and their dog penny living together in harmony, and that has turned Valerie into a special kind of animal caretaker. She not only has the knowledge but a deep passion and respect for animals. Val is super responsible and good at time management. You would be lucky to have her as your dog sitter!

Valerie is a true animal lover! I am confident when I say that she has an open, honest, and genuinely caring personality that speaks well with any and all animals she crosses paths with. From fostering a multitude of kittens at her parents home, to finding Valerie petting puppies for adoption at a local pop-up shopping market in Venice, to receiving snapchats of Valerie holding and petting a snake, there is no doubt that I would trust Valerie to care for my pup. I am confident that Valerie would genuinely enjoy your dogs company as well as be a very responsible and trustworthy individual for the job. You won't regret trusting her, she will treat and care for your dog like it's her own!

Valerie has been a pet owner always, mixing a dog with cats. She is caring, responsible and loves all dogs, big or small. Her expertise with canines is obvious with her affection and attention to details. Lucky is the dog that has Valerie for a friend and care-giver.
