Pet care experience

Let me love on your fur babies!

Hi friends! After taking a few years off from pet sitting and growing my own fur family (we're at 6 rescue dogs now!), I'm looking to start walking and sitting again. We are relatively new to IL and I do hold a corporate job so my available hours are limited to outside of the Mon - Fri 8 - 5 routine, but if you need help on the weekends or in the evenings I'm happy to assist. I have many years of experience with pups who need meds due to my own doggos and some of the pups I have taken care of over the years. If you're just looking for someone to spend time with your pup while you are out of town, I'm happy to oblige. I also love taking pups for walks, it's good exercise for both of us!!

Safety, trust & environment

Pups should feel loved and relaxed when left with a sitter. I like to make sure they’re comfortable, and understand they can trust me. I also prefer to keep them on a schedule as close to what they’re used to as possible.

Valerie is a fabulous dog walker. She takes Maggie on a nice long walk and makes sure she gets a treat when she comes in. I’ll definitely be using her services whenever I need a dog walker

Valerie is such a GREAT dog sitter, our dogs love her and she is amazing with them! She was very communicative and made me feel at ease leaving them in her care. I have to look no further!!!!

Schedule

I’m currently working full time so am mostly available on the weekends to help with your pups. I am willing to do sitting or walking during the week but I am at my job from 8-5.

0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Valerie can host up to 2 drop-ins per day
I am very patient and will ensure I treat your babies as well as I treat my own. I want the pups to feel safe when they’re with me, because that’s what I want for my pups when I use a sitter.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
