Fun, caring, attentive and loving.

Pet care experience

I chronicle each day with a text message or email with photos of your pet. (Written 1st person from your pet). Walks in different parks each day at least twice a day. I care for each pet as if it is my own. I lost my shih Tzu 9/17 who I had for over 10 years after my mother died. I've had 3 retrievers and 3 cats at the same time. My home is their home. I adhere to a client's needs and desires for their pets. I am available 7 days a week for full time and part time sitting and care. My schedule is flexible. I work full-time; however, I come home during the day to let your pet out and also go for a walk. I live in the Forest Hills area of Augusta in a house with a fenced-in backyard and screened in porch. I take your pet on walks along the Augusta Canal, downtown on the river and also on campus at the Summerville Campus at Augusta University. If your pet sleeps in the bed or on furniture, then this is their home away from home.

Valerie is amazing! This was the second time Valerie took care of our 15 year old, nearly blind, Phoebe. Both times she spoiled our dog as though she was her own. I love that we get pictures and updates daily. Valerie's easy going friendly manner creates a calm and comfort environment for our dog and gave us the reassurance that our girl was in loving hands. I highly recommend her!!

Valerie is awesome, she’s very attentive and knowledgeable about dogs. Highly recommend her. She sent us pictures and even went so far as to observe their bowl movements to see how their health was while we were gone. I will be using her in the future whenever we travel!

Valerie is an incredible dog sitter. She truly cares about the dogs she cares for and they love her! She always goes above and beyond for our dogs. We feel so safe having her watch our fur babies.

Information Valerie J. would like to know about your pet

I'd like to know about its personality - likes, dislikes, habits, medications, if needed. Breed restrictions in my home are due to insurance regulations - Akita, Doberman, Chow, German Shepherd, Rottweiler, Pit Bull, etc. For sitting in your home I have no breed restrictions.

A typical day

We can play fetch inside the house and in the yard. I take them for walks in the neighborhood, as well as along the Augusta Canal, downtown Riverwalk and the Augusta University Summerville Campus.
