Valerie and her parents were the BEST doggie-hosts for two days! My family traveled from Chicago, IL to Ave Maria, FL for two days looking at houses and touring Ave Maria University, and it would have been impossible to do those things with a dog in tow. I found some dog-daycare places in Naples, about 40 minutes away, but I wasn't comfortable leaving Dixie so far away from where we would be. I found Valerie on Rover and she provided exactly what I was looking for ... a welcoming house with no other animals, a screened-in porch for some safe outside-time, and lots of attention for Dixie. I know it went well, because Dixie was happy and comfortable (not stressed or panicked) when we picked her up the first day, and on the second day, she walked in like she owned the place and never looked back. :) So, it was a huge success and I'll definitely call Valerie and her wonderful parents the next time we're in Ave Maria. THANK YOU so much, Valerie. <3
Valerie was an excellent dog sitter and kept me update with the activities she did with Oliver! If you’re looking for a trusting pet sitter, Valerie is your girl!
I haven’t spent a day without Valerie talking about how much she loves dogs. She is one of the most caring, loving and responsible person I know, in general, but with dogs it goes far beyond. Whenever you see her first reaction with such passion and enthusiasm towards dogs is unbelievable and fills you with joy. Not to mention the countless times she is called in to pet-sitting for strangers, friends and family. In fact, every time she sends me a picture of the dog she is taking care of, you can see the love in her eyes. I strongly believe Valerie has all the personality traits and passion to be a responsible caregiver.
Valerie is an animal lover at heart. Whether at a park, driving around the city, or at a party, she never ceases to notice the presence of a precious (little or large) furry friend and exclaim "oh look a dog! so cute!" I grew up with her, so at this point I have countless memories of Valerie finding a lost animal and doing everything she can to make sure a stray kitten finds a safe and loving home or spreading information all over the internet of an adult dog up for adoption. There was even one instance where she made me stop the car because she noticed a turtle in the middle of the road and put it upon herself to safely guide the little creature into a nearby pond. Not only is Valerie genuinely caring and loving toward any animal, but she has a special connection with dogs. Having been a loving dog-owner herself for 12+ years and pet-sitting countless family friends' dogs, I believe Valerie has the nurturing responsibility, passion, and care it takes to be a responsible and loving dog caregiver for those who choose her as a dog caregiver.

My house has large rooms and space for your pup to roam around, and we have a screened back patio if he/she wants to lay in the sun for a bit. I will take them on walks often, and have the option of a nearby dog park if you are comfortable with how social your dog is with others. I live with my parents, so your dog will be receiving love and attention not just from me, but three people!
