Safety, trust & environment

I will treat your pet with the love and care I've always given my pets; they have always been members of the family. I will abide by all your rules as I know some animals have / need specific diets so I will honor whatever wishes you have around food; if your dog can eat anything, they will get plenty of my leftovers. If your pet needs medication or special care, I will try to accommodate but my schedule is very busy Monday - Wednesday in the office but my daughter also works for Rover and might be able to provide pop-in services on those days.

Information Valerie D. would like to know about your pet

I would prefer to meet your pet before watching just to help ensure a good experience for both your pet and myself; I think it's important for the pet to see that you trust me.

A typical day

I love to walk, esp in nature, I can also use their toys to engage with them, but my favorite activity is snuggling with pets.

Mature & Dependable Pet & Home Care

Pet care experience

I am a working professional available for pet and house sitting most weekends occasioal weekdays, I'm in the Marietta office on Tuesday & Wednesday's from about 8:30 AM until about 7:0 0PM, I am off on Fridays but usually spend that day with my 4yo granddaughter. I have had pets most of my life, including a family dog for 16 yrs and a cat for many years. I currently work too many hours M- W to commit to an animal at this time but I am really excited about being able to meet a bunch of pets to help me figure out my next pet! Some of my favorite types of dogs are Boxers, Shepherds, Rottie’s and oppositely most small fluffy dogs.

Valerie is an excellent dog sitter and I highly recommend her! She was very responsive throughout the entire boarding experience and kept us updated regularly, which gave us great peace of mind. She was also incredibly patient with our dog, who was a little shy and reluctant to warm up at first. Despite that, Valerie handled it with grace and never made us feel like it was an issue. We will definitely be booking with her again!

Valerie is my daughter. We have always had pets and she loved and helped take care of them all, plus her own. Valerie is a responsible, dependable and trustworthy mature adult. (I am a very fortunate mother). Her daughter Faith is on Rover too and loves it. Your pet may be pampered...hope that's OK.

Valerie is so sweet and such a great pet sitter! She treated my dog Teddy with so much love and care. She is definitely my preferred pet sitter!

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.
