Responsible and energetic!
Pet care experience
I have grown up around dogs my whole life and been a key care provider in those dogs lives, whether it be walking them at all hours of the day/night, feeding them, bringing them to appointments, grooming, training them, etc. As my pets aged, I also gained experience in dealing with physical disabilities/impairments, and administering medication as needed. I have had a lot of experience in taking care of many animals like cats, dogs, horses, hedgehogs, hamsters, and guinea pigs, so any animal is fair game for me!
Reviews
Val is a fantastic person. She has been around dogs all of her life. She has done pet sitting for her neighbors repeatedly and loves all dogs. Val would love to have her dog as soon as her life circumstances permit. She has extensive experience with not only dogs but horses, hedgehogs, cats and hamsters. She is a very responsible and reliable person. She cares for my dog on a regular basis. I highly recommend her as a pet sitter.
Valerie has taken care of my beagle, Nala many times when I have been away for the day or overnight. She loves Nala and Nala loves her back because of the amazing care she provided in my absence. Valerie would take Nala for walks and send me photos of her happy face and tail wagging to show the fun they were having. As a dog owner I love to see my pet smiling and it was so kind of Valerie to take the time to send photos! She is affectionate yet professional and knows how to keep the animals under her control. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a dog care provider!
Valerie is such an animal lover. She cares for all animals as if they were her own. She is a very trustworthy person with animals. I have had her take care of my own when I am away. She does an incredible job.

Safety, trust & environment
I live in a large apartment in downtown Wilmington, just a quick walk from Wilmington's river walk, a perfect place to stroll with any dog. Downtown Wilmington is very dog friendly, which would provide any dog with lots of interaction with other dogs. I am a quick walk from a few local parks that are perfect for a less urban environment for a dog to walk and play. I do not have a dog myself, but I do have a pet hedgehog, who is perfectly happy sleeping all day in his cage and minding his own business.

I work in a school environment which gives me early mornings, but afternoons and evenings completely free. My boyfriend is a veterinary technician, giving him a lot of expertise on working with and taking care of animals, and he is always willing to help me with my pet sitting jobs!
