This is the only job I'll enjoy!

Pet care experience

I've had at least three dogs in my household since the day I was born. I have a special place in my heart for dogs and I will do whatever it takes to put them at ease while their owners are away. I've been through multiple dog training classes and I am also experienced at potty training. I have accumulated hours volunteering for a local shelter and I am now hoping that I can continue to include this passion as I move forward in life. I am mainly a dog sitter for vacations. I am a student in San Marcos, Tx at Texas State University. Thanks and I really hope you chose me so I have the opportunity to help you with your furry friend!

She tried to reschedule hours before her time to arrive so she could go work another job. We received a few photos/updates, and the communication was pleasant. Missy seemed fine when we got home, and the house was still standing, thus 3 (perhaps generous) stars. It appeared (& smelled) like someone got violently ill in the bedroom & bathroom and failed to clean it up well. Trash was left behind the guest bed, and food stains were on the sheets. Toiletry items and even items of clothing were left behind in both the bathroom & even in the yard(!). Multiple text & call attempts to meet so we could return these items went unanswered. We are moving out of state now, so there will not be another attempt (We tried for months.). Had we seen the condition of her rooms before she hurriedly left, there would not have been a tip.

Valerie was absolutely amazing! She sent me updates and photos to ease my anxiety, leaving my boy for the first time. I'll most definitely be using her again. Very confident when meeting her so it assured me that a he was going to be in good hands. Thank you again, Valerie!

Valerie was fantastic! She was great with all three dogs and even took care of our kitty. I would hire her again anytime. Thanks Valerie!

Valerie stayed with our two senior labs for an extended weekend. They seemed relaxed and happy when we got home which means she spent plenty of time with them. She kept the house clean and she washed/changed the sheets for us which I am so grateful for. I will definitely be calling her again.

Information Valerie G. would like to know about your pet

I would definitely like to know what behavior and environment they are used to from their owners. Any behavioral issues or medical conditions for sure. But none of those things deter me, they are just obviously useful for me to make the dog more comfortable while you are gone.

A typical day

I love walking and getting outside so if you allow I will definitely include that in our schedule. Also if your dog is a little more active and fast paced, I take jogs everyday. If they enjoy car-rides I'll take them anywhere I can! They'll be my best friend for however long I'm there!
