Pet care experience

Hi, I’m Valerie! I bring the toys, treats, & plenty of love – all the good stuff! My clients often say my work speaks for itself. Their dogs' happy tails say it all. I'm pretty flexible & happy to accommodate your needs. (Within Reason) Let's get those tails wagging!

Valerie was quick to communicate, and treated our pup well! She brought toys and bones and lots of energy to match our very energetic black lab.

Booked Valerie on a whim and was very impressed! So communicative and thorough in her experience. Will definitely be asking her to return. My pups love d their time with her and for good reason. It shows that she truly loves animals.

I care for pets because it feels good to see the sparkle in their eyes when we love them, play with them, experience new things with them. It’s challenging balancing work, chores, family, obligations - even just finding time to gather your thoughts. So, I offer my services to give dogs the exercise & companionship they need, & busy pet owners a chance to breathe. I’ve just begun my journey on Rover, however, I do have clientele outside this app. Feel free to contact me. I check my messages here everyday.
