Bring you wagging tails over to me!

Pet care experience

Hello Dog Owners!! I'm Valerie and I'm glad you stopped by my profile in interest of finding a compatible sitter. Pleased to say I am no stranger when it comes to these furry friends, I have a Dachshund of my own and he turned 3 in july (picture in my profile is when he was a puppy), and a kitty who is well with dogs.My dogs name is woody and at first he'll be startled and seem aggressive but believe me after 20 min he is relaxed and playing around with your fur child and my kitty Mulder has no problems socializing. In order to offer the best care for your 4 legged companion a high dose of toys and outside play (in an open field across the street or the dog park) will be expected along with some down time to relax on whatever furniture they want. Frequent potty breaks and designated feeding times; if any medications need to be administered just let me know. I don't mind at all giving them bubble baths if you request one. Overnights & weekends are welcomed at my house or yours, but I would like to note I will accept only one (or two if they come together) to stay at my house so I can give them all my attention as compared to caring for multiple dogs from multiple owners. I don't care if your doggies is crate or potty trained. I don't mind picking up or dropping off & last minute drop offs are welcome. I hope this gives you a mental break down of what to expect while I care for your pet:)

Good care seems to have been given. The sitter was not personally present to meet me at drop off or pickup, but she did communicate well by text. The home is not terribly clean or in good shape. The dogs seemed healthy.

My pugs are basically my children. My fiance and I are huge worriers when we're apart from them. However, because of Valerie, we were able to spend Thanksgiving weekend with our family, knowing our pugs were in excellent, caring hands. She sent us pictures, videos, and overall updates throughout their stay. She also took them on more walks/trips to the park than we've been able to do in months! I would recommend her in a heartbeat.

Mira had an amazing stay with Valerie and Woody! Valerie took the time to meet up with us prior to Mira's stay to ask about any special needs and get familiar with her routine. She sent frequent photos and kept me updated on how Mira was doing throughout her stay. Mira and Woody quickly became best friends and I felt completely comfortable leaving her in their care. Valerie lives five minutes from the dog park, so that and constant playtime with Woody left me with a very happy dog to come home to. We would definitely use Valerie again!

Information Valerie F. would like to know about your pet

I have no preference. I would like to advise that I do have a small kitten but she is mostly always in the room or the closet (she loves hiding there or in the drawers) but she is very playful and gets along well with my other dog.

A typical day

walks to and from the Robin Park (by my apartment) and or the McAllen dog park. I can also walk he/she around the block once or a few times depending on his/her stamina.
