Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Excellent dog sitter! Very caring, professional and easy to communicate with. My dog loved them. And I appreciate the updates throughout the stay. Highly recommend.
Valerie was amazing with my son Ace. She communicated, sent photos, videos & made sure he got his exercise and so much more. I’d never used Rover, I had some concerns. However, once we did our meet & greet. I knew he was in good hands! I love her concerns for his safety and other dogs she boards. Val loved on him like he was her own! I’ll definitely be utilizing her services again. If you need someone to watch your pup, she’s the one!
Everything was great. Valerie communicated with us well and was flexible when our travel plans went a little awry and we needed an extra day. She took good care of our dog Leia.
She was great with my doggie
Valerie is the best! My puppy loved her. She’s very experienced, caring and responsible. Lucy is training to be a therapy dog and Valerie did an excellent job using the specific commands Lucy is being taught. Also, Lucy is a challenge at five months and 50 pounds. Valerie had no problem, controlling her in a loving way.
Our cats were very happy with Valerie. She was very attentive and detailed. We loved the photos.

Schedule
Either me or my husband is always home when I’m taking care of a pet. I rearranged my schedule for the pet. I don’t have a set work schedule. I drive Uber at the moment.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
Also, my house has an enclosed backyard. I also require a pet parents to have a leash, a harness or some other form to walk your pet. I have locked doors. I have screen doors and I also asked the owners how they are on leash and if their yard is enclosed or not, my house isn’t closed and I have all things up above floor level. All my stuff is like waist high and I make sure anything that our animal would chew on is up. I also asked if the pet parents have shots up-to-date. And I also asked them to provide a kennel of some sort just in case the animal needs to be put in there. The only time I would put them in is if the owner requires them to be in at night why I’m sleepy or if I leave the house and don’t take the animal with me
Pets
A typical day
I love to play with the animals if they need to be worked with or trained, I will work on whatever area you would like me to work with them and I do have experience in training. Also I have a big backyard and I’d love to take long walk if they’re able to or I can take short walks whatever the animal prefers I keep the animal well-being upfront I can also take them to a park. I will find them a park to take them too. If that’s necessary I do have all dog mat that is reusable that is for helping them with anxiety or slow feeding. It’s like a puzzle mat also I spent a lot of time with them and I take them out a lot if they are acceptable of that.
