Kind, compassionate dog lover

I have ALWAYS preferred dog company than human company as I’ve always had a dog since I was born. I have worked professionally and personally for others, including a boarding kennel and taking my parents friends dogs on walks because the dog was too strong for them.

Valerie made us feel completely at ease leaving Penny in her care. As first-timers leaving her with someone new, that meant everything. She was responsive, sent photos, and clearly took wonderful care of our girl. We would absolutely book with her again.

A temporary service was required. Valerie was very pleasant and Grace loved her. Would highly recommend Valerie and would definitely use her services again, if required.

It was my first time using this app and Valery made things easy for me. She was so good with our boy and provided updates too. He loved playing with her dogs and came back with no injuries and was tired from playing. Last time we had him in a kennel he licked his paws raw and could barely walk. So glad she helped him with his separation anxiety and gave him the human attention he needed her pups also helped too. So happy and would definitely recommend her to anyone that needs a sitter. Thank you Valerie you are the best!

Valerie was punctual and sent great pics of our dogs as she walked them for us during the day. Our dogs were happily tired out from a good walk! Thanks for helping us out!

Hi, I’m writing with regards to Val’s love of dogs. She has grown up with dogs being a part of her family, her entire life, she absolutely adores them. She actually did a Co-op student placement with a Veterinarian when she was in High School because she was considering being a Veterinarian. She FaceTimes me every day and always asks me to put the camera on our dog so that she can say hello to her. Val is very kind and loving and would treat anyone’s fur baby like her own. She is responsible and diligent in her duties and would very much be an asset to Rover.

Safety, trust & environment

No dog is allowed outside of their home without a leash, and no dog will be allowed to leave my apartment without a leash on. I live in apartment building and there’s only two flights of stairs so very easy to get out to walk dogs if staying in my home.

A typical day

I love to cuddle and stimulate dogs minds with many different activities. Whether it’s a walk, dog park, a game involving hiding treats, or playing fetch - it is important for your dogs’ brain to be exercised as well as their body.

Please let me know if your pet has any allergies, behavioural tendencies, triggers of any kind, and their feeding schedule. It is important for me to know what to expect so I can better prepare for your animals’ needs.
