I work from home and my weekends are typically free as well. I don't like leaving my family dogs home alone so I'll be sure your dog is always with me while they're under my care.

Information Valerie L. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your dogs have any special needs, or aren’t potty trained. Ideally I would prefer to watch dogs that are potty trained, but I’ll make exceptions.

A typical day

I’ll make sure to walk your dogs to the park that’s around the corner from me. If the weathers nice we will spend lots of time outside playing. Inside we will also play games, and watch doggy TV we need to relax.

Welcome to Camp Val! Pup Fun awaits

Pet care experience

Hey there! I’ve been on Rover for about 2 years now, but I’ve been around dogs pretty much my whole life. Since I love to travel, I don’t have a pup of my own right now so Rover is my way of getting all the cuddles I’ve been missing! I work from home, so your pup won’t ever be left alone for long. I’m around for walks, potty breaks, and plenty of attention throughout the day. I have a flexible schedule perfect for pups who love company or have anxiety. I’ve taken care of all kinds of dogs, from playful puppies to sweet senior pups. I’m comfortable giving medication, following specific routines, and caring for dogs with anxiety. My goal is to make your dog feel like they’re at their second home and keep things as close to their normal routine as possible. Whether your dog loves long walks, playtime, or just curling up for snuggles, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable, happy, and loved while you’re away! Feel free to reach out if you have any additional questions about my experience. Happy to help! I send pictures and videos through out the day, and I’m happy to FaceTime if you’re missing your pup a little extra ❤️

Valerie was amazing with our boys (American Bully and mini dachshund with very different personalities) & she handled both without batting an eye. The updates she sent weren’t just walk photos; we got silly faces, pouty looks, and full documentation of the misbehavior. Knowing they were happy and in good hands made traveling so much less stressful. Highly recommend her!

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.
