Drop-In Visits • Jun 25, 2026

Very reliable sitter. Have been working with her for a bit and my cats love her. She is patient working with nervous cats, and respects my pets boundaries. Would 100% recommend her!!

I highly recommend Valerie for cat-sitting services. I needed a last-minute solution for someone to care for my cat and had never hired a sitter before, so I was initially hesitant. However, Valerie quickly responded to my request and made the entire process smooth and stress-free. She was extremely flexible with pickup and drop-off times, very responsive in communication, and both she and her family were kind, welcoming, and clearly experienced with cats. I felt comfortable leaving my cat in her care for the week I was out of town in Connecticut.

Safety, trust & environment

I treat every home and pet with a lot of respect and care. I stick closely to their routines and make sure they feel safe. I can also send regular updates so you know exactly how your pet is doing!

Pets

A typical day

It depends on the pet, but I focus on keeping their routine consistent. For dogs, that usually means walks, playtime, and getting their energy out. For cats, I make sure they're comfortable, fed on schedule, and get attention or play if they want. I also make time to check in and keep the owners updated.

Please let me know your pet's feeding schedule, daily routine, and any special needs or behaviors I should be aware of. This can include things like anxiety, medications, or how they interact with other animals. I'm comfortable with cats and friendly, well-behaved dogs, and I always aim to follow your instructions closely to ensure the best care possible.
