Providing a Mother's love

I am so fortunate to do what I do! The cats and dogs that I work with bring me so much joy! I smile and even laugh out loud when I am walking dogs or caring for pets in their homes! I have two dogs of my own and five granddogs who have lived with me from time to time. I am currently the go-to sitter for them, and I love it! I raised my first dog, Beaux, since he was a puppy, and rescued my second dog, Mason, when he was six. We had been a dog only family until my son started feeding a stray cat and ended up adding six kittens to his family!! I'm in love with all of them!!🥰

Safety, trust & environment

I am happy to provide leashed walks in your neighborhood or nearby trails. In addition to exercise, I also like to do activities that stimulate their mind such as hidden treat puzzles.

We love Valerie and will continue to use her! Her rover cards are very thorough and we never worry about our kitties with her!

This was the first time Valerie took care of my fur baby, but she came in as if it was the hundredth time. It was also my first extended time away in my new home and state, so, I was very skittish about leaving. However, my shy kitty was comfortable almost immediately and I came home to a happy boy. I will absolutely welcome Valerie back for future trips.

I cannot say enough good things about Valerie! This is one of the first vacations that we felt like our doggies were in good hands. If you were looking for someone that is caring and will take as good of care as your doggies as you do then Valerie is who you need.

I have a very flexible schedule now since my children are grown. I am not working, but I am involved in volunteer activities. I am available weekdays, weekends, and holidays!

I like to know the dogs regular routine so I can be consistent with that. I also prefer to use the commands and words that the dogs are familiar with.
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.
