Life-long pet owner <3

Pet care experience

I have had a cat or dog in the home my entire life and have lived with pets of all sizes and personalities. I can administer oral medications, tend to "needier" fur pals, send photo updates, live very close to pet-friendly walking trails, and live in an area with LOTS of grass and trees to sniff. I primarily work from home so I can easily hang with your pet in your home or mine. My spouse also works from home so one of us is almost always home. I love to work outside (weather permitting) so pets that enjoy the sunshine are a plus! My dog really enjoys the snow so we're used to getting in some pup friendly exercise in the winter months as well. My spouse and I live with our 12pound, cat-like dog who would be happy to play with your pup or just nap nearby. I am very flexible, so if you have any questions or requests, just ask!

Valerie was a wonderful and reliable petsitter. Easy to communicate with and caring, making sure our cats got some attention while we were away. She sent great pictures every visit and was responsive when we had questions. I would highly recommend hiring her if you need a pet sitter!

Valerie did an amazing job dropping in to feed and play with my two cats. She kept me informed about her visits and sent me daily photos. The cats were completely relaxed when I got home from my trip which gave great peace of mind. I would highly recommend her!

Valerie took amazing care of my 14 year old dog and cat. My kitty had a flare up of pancreatitis a few days before I left and was not eating and on 6 medications. I was nervous to leave her, but Valerie was flexible and happy to take on the additional care. She administered all her meds, tried different foods to keep her eating, responded to my questions right away and kept me updated with messages and photos of both animals. I am so grateful that it allowed me to be away on a trip I couldn't reschedule and know my fur babies were well taken care of. I would be happy to have Valerie pet set for us again!
