Dedicated Pet Lover
Pet care experience
In addition to being dog enthusiast and owner, I've volunteered at dog shelters and rescue organizations and have expertise giving medicine and caring for elderly or handicapped pets. NEW TO ROVER? Use the code VALERL34610 for £15 off your first booking! I consider pets to be an integral part of life, but also understand that, in certain cases, owners may temporarily split from their cherished animal friends owing to unforeseen events. Therefore, it's critical to stay in touch with pet owners when you're abroad, and I am here to help facilitate that. Communication with owners is important and daily updates in the form of video/photos/text messages would be included. I will be pleased to offer baths, home cooked meals, love and of course, walks (1 hr in daily total). Additional daily rates (+£5) will apply for each additional 30 minutes of walk requested. Please let me know about any specific requests you may have, and know that they will be given top attention.
Reviews
Valerie is a wonderful dog sitter and I highly recommend her. She is caring and kind and our dog has always been so well looked after.
Bonnie had the best time at Valerie’s … lots of cuddles, walks, and company. Bonnie has been lovingly spoilt whilst I’ve been away and it has been such a comfort to get all her updates. Thank you Valerie 🥰
We could not be happier to have found Valerie in our neighbourhood, as someone who genuinely loves dogs and cares for them. She is gentle and caring and engaged and it was so obvious how happy our little boy was in her place. I couldn't recommend her highly enough.
Valerie is amazing! Muffin has been with her many times now and is always very excited to go back.

Safety, trust & environment
I have a fenced courtyard with access to a fenced garden. Pee breaks will be given every 0-4 hours, or more frequent if necessary. For safety reasons, your dogs will always be leashed when outdoors. Please bring along any beddings, leash, or even special food if required. As my own dog requires homecooked prep, I would be able to assist if your dog has more complex food requirements. Upon request, Apple tag services can be provided to your pet’s collar or lead for your ease of mind.

Information Valerie L. would like to know about your pet
I have no preference for breeds but have experience handling pets up to 32 kilograms. Please bring along any pet beddings, leash, toys or even your worn clothes so that your pet might be able sniff your scent to reduce separation anxiety :) Your pet’s comfort, safety and health would be our top priority ❤️
A typical day
Explore parks and nature walks around the neighbourhood, and I have an arsenal of dog toys for playtime to keep your pet engaged and mentally stimulated. High value treats such as cheese will be provided unless told otherwise. If necessary, there is a mega pet store nearby and I could bring the doggos for shopping time!

Availability
I'll be working on this full-time, while my partner works from home. You can be assured that your pet will receive our undivided care. I can only take one or two reservations (depending on load) at a time as I have a visually disabled senior Shih Tzu at home.
