Senior & Special Needs Specialist

Pet care experience

Who do you trust to care for your Best Friend when you can't be there? I am a professional who works from home and loves furry and feathered friends. As a registered nurse, I am qualified to care for your special needs or senior pet. I enjoy learning about animal behavior and body language and strive to be a respectful companion to all animals I encounter. In addition to dog and cat experience, I have experience with and am confident in caring for chickens, ducks, rabbits, small caged birds and Guinea pigs.

Valerie did an awesome job for us. It was such peace of mind knowing she would come do check ins for Lucy and our chickens. She was prompt and thorough. She took the time to send photos and notes about her visits. Highly recommend!

Valerie was very detailed and professional. She took care of our two cats when our friends weren’t able to stop by. She was flexible to my requests and made sure she asked all the right questions. I really appreciate how communicative she is.

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
