Welcome to Camp Val! Pup Fun awaits

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!

Valerie went above and beyond in making sure our Rocco was comfortable. Rocco had a couple accidents and she washed his bed and washed him off. He is an elderly dog and needs extra care; Valerie was sure to give it. Thank you so much for being a great caregiver!

Safety, trust & environment

I have a fenced yard. I have lots of toys for the dogs, and love taking them outside so they can play. I’ll ensure your dogs are fed, walked, and played with all on their typical schedule.

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.

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.
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.
