Highlights
Pet care experience
Snuggles, Walks & Treats on Repeat
With over 30 years of hands-on experience, I’ve cared for and loved dogs of all sizes, breeds, ages, and needs, from energetic puppies to senior companions requiring a little extra patience and support. I also have extensive personal experience caring for dogs with chronic and age-related medical needs. My own dogs have included dogs with diabetes, Addison’s disease, and senior dogs requiring specialized daily care. I understand how important it is to have someone you can trust to follow medication schedules, recognize changes in behavior or condition, and provide the extra attention medically complex and senior pets may need. My experience includes: • Monitoring and testing blood sugar • Administering insulin injections • Administering oral and other routine medications • Basic wound care and recovery support • Caring for dogs with Addison’s disease • Supporting senior dogs with mobility and age-related needs • Following detailed feeding, medication, and care schedules Beyond medical needs, I’m happy to provide all the things that make your dog feel comfortable and loved—walks, playtime, meals, potty breaks, companionship, and plenty of snuggles. Whether you have a playful puppy, a senior sweetheart, or a dog who needs specialized medical attention, you can feel confident knowing they’ll be cared for by someone who understands that every dog has their own routine, personality, and needs.

Safety, trust & environment
I believe pets feel most secure in their own familiar surroundings. When I provide care in your home, I follow your routines closely to keep things consistent and stress-free for your furry family members. Safety: I double-check doors, gates, and food/medications to ensure your pets (and your home) stay safe. Trust: Your home is treated with the same respect I give my own. I provide updates, photos, and clear communication so you have peace of mind while you’re away. Environment: I maintain your pet’s normal feeding, exercise, and cuddle schedule — whether that’s a morning walk, a lunchtime play break, or evening snuggles.
Ratings and reviews
Highly recommend Valerie for all your pet sitting needs! My dogs, cat and my chickens all love her! She takes great care of them and even spoils them, chickens included! She communicates everything daily and lets me know how everyone is doing.

Schedule
I work remotely from home, which means I can give your pets the attention they deserve — right when they need it most. I’m available for morning, lunchtime, and evening drop-ins, whether it’s a walk, a cuddle break, or making sure medications are given on schedule. With over 30 years of experience, including medical care for pets with special needs, I’m here to keep tails wagging and give you peace of mind while you’re away.
