Reliable & Loving Pet Care

I’ve been caring for dogs, cats, rabbits, hamsters, and fish for over 25 years and have experience with pets of all ages, breeds, and personalities. I grew up with Siberian Huskies and have spent my life around animals, both as a pet owner and caregiver. I provide attentive, dependable care tailored to each pet’s routine and needs! My experience includes walks, feeding, administering oral medications, playtime, companionship, photo updates, and monitoring pets for any changes in behavior or well-being while you’re away. In addition to pet care, I have experience maintaining freshwater aquariums, including water quality monitoring and tank care, as well as basic indoor plant care. My goal is to make sure both you and your pets feel comfortable, safe, and well cared for while you’re away!

Safety, trust & environment

My goal is to provide a safe, comfortable, and stress-free experience while keeping owners updated with messages and cute photos! I make sure to treat every client’s home with respect and care.

Valerie was immediately welcomed by our dog and 3 cats! She is open and friendly and a natural with pets. She kept us very well-informed with detailed updates and photos and videos. She is a responsible, caring person and we would not hesitate to have her back in the future. Highly recommend!

Valerie was wonderful with my cat! My friend recommended her to me when I needed an overnight sitter at the last minute, and luckily Valerie was available. She was kind to work with and took notes on Momo’s care which I appreciated. My first experience on Rover was a good one because of her! 10/10 recommend

Valerie was amazing! From the meet and greet to watching stormi, she came prepared, asked thoughtful questions and provided updates multiple times a day with many photos and details. We would 100% use her again!! She took great care of our house and even our pool too

Please let me know if there are any special needs I should know about regarding your pet, their safety and wellbeing is my top priority while they are in my care. I have experience watching dogs age 4 months through 15 years old and a variety of breeds with different temperaments and energy levels. I do have experience taking care of aggressive dogs, but it’s still important for me to meet an aggressive dog before caring for them to ensure we are a good match. I have experience watching cats of all different personalities from age 6 months - 15 years old. I have a dog hammock with a seatbelt leash that attaches to their collar in my car (sedan), in case the pet needs to be transported anywhere while they are in my care.
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.
