Pet care experience

Hello Animal Lovers! Corporate Recruiter turned Dog walker/caretaker. After spending 8 years in an office environment, I was stressed and overweight. In 2016 I knew something had to change. I began exercising and eating healthier. I’ve lost about 60 lbs. and have fallen in love with being outdoors. What to do with all this energy? I grew up with a mid size beagle named Bixby, he was my best pal til he passed at 13. I currently have a 50lbs. Australian Shepard mix named Romeo, he’ll be 14 this November. We also have a high energy Husky, KyloRen, he’s 2.5 and loves to play but is quite lazy when it’s a hot day. I am highly responsive and trustworthy. I have plenty of energy to keep your dog healthy! My best friend fosters puppies for the Milpitas Human Society, I help her periodically with feeding, administering medication, and play time.

Our Luna girl was in great hands! She came home in great spirits and totally exhausted, likely from all the walks and playing with Kylo, Val’s husky. We loved that Luna was able to snuggle up with Val as needed and the pictures and text updates were totally appreciated. I was truly able to enjoy my time away on vacation knowing Luna was in such great care.

Valerie was great. Pictures and texts were timely and often and so polite and understanding! I can be as needy as my dogs and she didn't mind updating me often. Will definitely use her again in the future.

Valerie was a wonderful help to watch my 3yr old cattle dog for a day trip to SF. Great communication, super flexible and friendly. I highly recommend.

Valerie is so awesome, I would highly recommend her as a dog walker!! A couple weeks ago was my first time using the Rover app and I was admittedly nervous about letting another person that I just found on an app to come and take my pups for a walk. Needless to say, Valerie quelled any fears I had. I reached out to her about my two nine month old golden doodles who have been needing a lot more activity lately, and unfortunately right now I am unable to provide that. Valerie courteously responded immediately to my short notice text and told me she’d be at my house shortly. When she arrrived she warmly introduced herself, asked a couple questions about the pups and told me where she would be taking them. She even sent me a pic of how exhausted the pups were during the middle of their walk, which made me feel a lot better about the whole experience. I was surprised when she returned and told me they weren’t a problem to walk because they can really be a handful...but it worked out with Valerie so I am going to be a repeat customer for sure!! Highly recommended!!
