Information Valerie F. would like to know about your pet

I require a meet & greet prior to our first walk/visit. Does he/she mind walking in the rain? What's his/her feeding schedule like? Any medications I should know about? Favorite toys? Any quirks I need to know about? Looking forward to meeting you and your pets!

A typical day

Does your dog have any allergies/sensitivities? How is he/she around other dogs on walks? Is he/she afraid of loud noises (fireworks, garbage trucks, motorcycles, etc.)

Pet care experience

I started working for a local dog walking company in Chicago in 2010 and immediately fell in love! Ever since then I've been dog walking & pet sitting as a side job and have made so many friends over the years. This has been my full time job for 9 years now! Whether you're needing a walk during the day while you're at work, multiple visits throughout the day while you're out of town, or your cat to be checked in on while you're away, I've got you covered! Each visit is tailored to you and your pets' needs. Just let me know what you need and I'm happy to help!

Miah was so happy during her walk with Valerie. Valerie is very friendly and professional. I will definitely be using her again!

Our pup Max loves his midday walks and play time with Val and we love that she sends an update along with adorable photos with each visit. She takes extra care coming and going as we've got a curious kitty that likes to try to get outside. She gives him pets and attention during her visits as well, which he craves & loves. We appreciate all the care she provides our little fur family.

Valerie walked my dog, Trixie, while I was on vacation this past week, and I am beyond thrilled with the service she provided. I felt that she followed all of my instructions perfectly and kept me informed on Trixie's wellbeing on a with each walk she took her on. Trixie is older and very particular when dealing with new people; however, Valerie was able to make her very comfortable.With past walkers, I have returned home to her having lost weight due to not eating, but with Valerie, Trixie appeared to be her normal self upon my return. I highly recommend Valerie if you are looking for a perfect friend to your pet!
