Ultimate Animal Lover

Pet care experience

**Schedule** 12/21 I work full-time so am limiting my schedule. I am typically available for evening check-ins after 5pm. Unsure if I’m available? Feel free to reach out! Hi there! Looking for someone to spend quality time with your kitty? I love getting to know my kitty friends, whether that is playing with a wand toy or just sitting giving scratches. I will gauge each cat's level of comfort to make sure they are calm and happy throughout our visit. If your kitty prefers a more relaxed visit, I’m happy to hangout and read a book or listen to light music while they have quiet time. I am an active volunteer with several local rescues/shelters and love spending time with animals. I have a dog named Spike and two cats, Luna and Maroo. I have learned a great deal having them in my life and bring that experience into my services. I believe that every animal is an individual and aim to provide specialized attention towards what makes each of them happy. Have special instructions or needs? I'm here to help! Having animals of my own, I know how important it is to find someone you are confident will treat them the way you do. New to rover? First time bookings eligible for $20 off with my promo code! VALERG82096, hope to see your furry friends soon 💙 **Schedule** 12/21 I work full-time so am limiting my schedule. I am typically available for evening check-ins after 5pm. Unsure if I’m available? Feel free to reach out! **Service area** Cedar Mill and connected neighborhoods. **Care Details** I will follow instructions as given and discuss any specific needs during our meet and greet. My goal is to make sure I have a clear understanding of each animals routine and expectations of care.

Thanks for taking such great care of the little monsters and taking so many pictures of them! It's such a relief to see that they're doing okay while I'm away.

Valerie was fantastic! We have a 15 year old cat and he was so happy and healthy upon our return - I’m sure he will be happy to see her again on our next trip!

Information Valerie G. would like to know about your pet

Not currently accepting dog clients. My work schedule does not allow for walks/visits during the day. This may be something I open again in the future but for now, I am taking cat only clients.

A typical day

During our meet and greet, I will ask questions about your cats typical routine. What kind of toys do they like? Do they enjoy affection? Are they more of an observer? For the kitties that enjoy playtime, I have a variety of toys, puzzles, and treat dispensers that can keep them feeling frisky. I especially like to bring wand toys to work up their appetite before meals. Special requests? Let me know and I’ll do my best to accommodate :)
