Pet care experience

Your furbaby is special to me

First and foremost, I am an animal lover and an animal safety advocate. Whether it's in your own home, a walk around the block, or a visit to a dog park, your pet will be in capable hands, feeling safe and happy. I am attentive, reliable, trustworthy, patient, and friendly. I have taken care of many different kinds of breeds/species; dogs, cats, and exotic animals. I have also spent my free time volunteering at an animal shelter as a dog handler to help find homes. In the past, I have worked as a veterinary assistant and I also come from a military background with a great understanding of last-minute changes and the need for pets to be taken care of. Rest assured when your furbaby is with me you will get loaded with updates and photos every day. I would never want anyone to worry about their babies when they're away. My furbabies: Lucy is my 3-year-old beagle, Autmn is my 12-years-old beagle/daschund, and Delia, the newest memberof the pack, 1.5yr old beagle. I also have 1 cat, Sir Cyril Figgus is my 7-year-old stocky DSH with beautiful markings. He's my sweet boy and loves to cuddle and get pets all day. They all have goofy personalities that make me love them so much. They are my world!! In addition to my family, my mother has one dog, Bischon Friese name Benny. It's a full house but we love it and wouldn't have it any other way. I am very transparent about my availability. Please feel free to ask me any questions before we schedule a meet and greet, which I will require before any first time bookings. I want both you and your furbabies to be completely comfortable with me. I look forward to meeting your family and I hope my services can be of use to you. *Required: please make sure you provide an emergency contact and your pet's vet information in your profile* *If not on your profile, please provide it in writing and upload a photo to our booking*

Great communication with us throughout and we loved receiving videos of our kitties in addition to pics and text updates. Cats were calm and happy when we got home so I know they had their cuddle and play needs met.

Valerie was pretty wonderful with my dog and made the whole experience stress-free. It was clear that she truly cared and I’m very grateful for how well they looked after my pup. I will happily be using her again ☺️

How long can they be left alone? Do they have any medical issues I need to be aware of? Taking any medications? Are they housebroken or crate-trained? What is their behavior on a leash? What is their behavior around other dogs? No breed restrictions but NO AGGRESSIVE ANIMALS PLEASE. Be prepared to walk me through a daily routine for your pet and household when we meet in person. ***(For established clients only, please message) During a booked House-sitting: you're getting more than just house and pet sitting! While I'm there I'll bring in the mail and packages, and water any plants that need it. Before leaving your home at the end of the booking floors will be swept, and any trash taken out. Your pets will never be alone.*** **For dog walks, drop-in visits, and house-sitting: Walk me through a daily routine for your pet and household. We will cover everything in detail during our meet n greet.**
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.
