I love animals, & they love me! :)
Pet care experience
I'm an outgoing and open person. I house/dog/cat sit yearly for 1-2 weeks for a friend. I have had dogs in my life since I was in my teens, and would have a dog now if I lived somewhere with a backyard for them to run free in. So, I have a cat. (I check in on her daily while sitting, and give her love and take care of her needs, once the pet I am sitting for is cared for.) I stay in their home, bring in the mail, water plants and the garden, and take care of their cat and large dog (part Great Dane). I play with the dog outside, spend time with her inside, feed her in the morning and be sure she always has water and put her to bed in her kennel at night. She is my buddy, and I love my time with her! I do have a job, with varying shifts throughout the week, but I would be sure not to take any assignment where my time spent at that job would interfere with my ability to care for your dog in the way you'd expect. Because I do shift work, there is also the option for me to request days off, and/or trade shifts to accommodate a specific time frame.
Reviews
Valerie is fantastic and my pooch loves her. She is my first pick for pet sitting!
Valerie took great care of our babies and is clearly an animal lover who was happy to spend quality time with them over the holidays. Very easy and consistent communication too, which we appreciate. Would definitely book again. Thanks!!
Valerie was a great find. She got a long great with my mastiff Loki and was a great house sitter. I will certainly try to book her for my future house sitting needs :)
Valerie did a wonderful job giving our 17 year old kitty her pills while I was out of town. Thank you so much!!

Safety, trust & environment
I do not offer boarding. When in a client's home, for drop-ins or overnights, I like to keep your pets as close as possible to their standard schedule and routine. And I love some good cuddle time!!
Information Valerie C. would like to know about your pet
I like to know as much as possible about routines, typical eating and behavior habits, what they expect in a day, etc. A good understanding of your expectations is key as well.
A typical day
I love a trip to a nearby park when watching dogs. With any of your pets knowing favorite toys, activities, etc. is important to me.

Availability
I only work part time, so I have plenty of time to spend time with your fur babies! Sometimes I have entire weeks or more with no scheduled work. I do bring my laptop to keep up with project opportunities, etc.
