Availability
Pet care fits easily into my routine alongside my 9–5 schedule. I’m available for morning and evening visits during the week, and I’m fully available on Tuesdays and Wednesdays for more flexible care. I’m careful to only accept bookings I can fully commit to, so every pet gets the attention and care they deserve.

About Valerie L.

Skills
Safety, trust & environment
I tailor my care to each pet’s routine and comfort level, whether in my home or yours. I follow all instructions closely, including feeding schedules, exercise, medications, and preferred routines. I make sure pets get plenty of attention, playtime, and a calm, safe environment. In a client’s home, I’m respectful of your space and work to keep your pet’s routine as consistent as possible. My goal is always to keep your pet happy, stress-free, and well cared for while you’re away.
Home
Information Valerie L. would like to know about your pet
I’d like to know about each pet’s daily routine, temperament, energy level, and any medical needs or medications. It’s also helpful to understand their comfort level with new people, other animals, leash behavior, and any triggers or anxieties. Knowing their feeding schedule, preferred activities, and any house rules helps me provide consistent, stress-free care.
A typical day
I tailor activities to each pet’s personality and energy level. For higher energy animals, this includes engaging walks, play like fetch or tug, and simple enrichment or training games using positive reinforcement. For calmer pets, I focus on gentle play, companionship, and keeping them comfortable and relaxed while maintaining their routine.

Lifelong Animal Lover & Pro Trainer
Pet care experience
Hi there! I’ve been surrounded by animals my entire life, and caring for them has always come naturally to me. From energetic puppies to senior pets who just want a calm companion, I truly enjoy getting to know each animal’s unique personality and needs. For the past 7 years, I’ve worked as a professional animal trainer with marine mammals—so patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement are at the core of everything I do. I bring that same thoughtful, reward-based approach to working with dogs and other pets. I currently have a small Pomeranian mix of my own, so I understand just how important it is to trust someone with your four-legged family member. Your pet’s happiness, safety, and well-being are always my top priorities—and I’ll care for them just like they’re part of my own family.
