Pet care experience

Loving Pet Sitter, Works from Home.

I know how hard it is to find someone you trust to look after your pets when you go on vacation which is why I signed up for Rover. I've had dogs all of my life and currently have a 2 year old frenchie who would love someone to play with who isn't a cat :)

She is a wonderful care person for your baby. She went over and beyond to take care of mine. She is very accommodating, and I would definitely recommend her.

Valerie has watched our dog on multiple occasions, keeping us updated with pictures and phone calls. She's has even let our son face time when he was missing his dog. She is very knowledgeable about pet care and thoughtful in regards to the type of questions we had before dropping the dog off.

Schedule

I work from home so your pet will have around the clock supervision. I take my own dog and all dogs I am sitting out every 2-4 hours. My dog Pinky loves other dogs and loves when we board/sit.

Safety, trust & environment

Pets

A typical day

During the day, the dogs get as much play time as they prefer. I wake up early and the first thing I do is take all the dogs out to use the bathroom. Next is breakfast and another potty break immediately after. The rest of the day is filled with toys, playtime, snuggles and napping. For your pets sleeping or daytime napping arrangements I try to mimic their home routine as much as possible so this varies dependingon individual needs. I do dinner around 5 PM and all dogs are separated during meal times so no other dog can try to steal their food, your pet won't eat another pets food which is great for dogs with sensitive stomachs, and it virtually eliminates the possibility for any resource guarding behaviors.

Let me know ahead of time if your dog has any special needs. I am experienced in administering medication as I have had special needs dogs in the past and my current dog has food sensitivities.
