Cat Groomer & Feline Specialist

Hi! I’m a professional cat groomer specializing in feline care. I have experience working with cats of different breeds, coat types, ages, and temperaments. I offer professional grooming services including baths, brush-outs, de-shedding, sanitary trims, nail trims, and haircuts. In addition to grooming, I also offer cat drop-in visits to make sure your cat is comfortable and cared for while you’re away. Drop-in visits can include feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, playtime, treats, and plenty of attention based on your cat’s personality and routine. My goal is always to provide calm, gentle, one-on-one care and help each cat feel as safe and comfortable as possible.

Safety, trust & environment

I follow each cat’s normal routine and your care instructions closely, including feeding, fresh water, litter box cleaning, medications, and any special needs. I understand feline body language and always give cats the space and time they need to feel comfortable. I’ll respect your home, keep your cat’s environment clean, and send updates so you know how they’re doing while you’re away.

Valerie is amazing and was extremely accommodating in my last minute time of need. Louie was so happy and well cared for which I appreciate as he is my first fur baby and leaving him is always hard. I highly recommend Valerie and will be using her as a sitter for all future visits. Thanks V and A!!!

Valerie and Alex were great with my pup and treated him like their own. They took Major to the beach twice, to the park and on many walks. I loved all the pictures Valerie sent and felt confident and assured my dog was in great hands. Major cant wait to go back!

My dog had some difficulty during this stay. Alex and Valerie were professional, caring and attentive with all involved. I appreciate their obvious love of dogs and willingness to go beyond the typical ‘two walks per day’. I would highly recommend them as caregivers for your fur baby....

Schedule

Cat care is a big part of my daily life. I’m a professional cat groomer, so I work with cats regularly and understand how important routine, patience, and gentle handling are. I offer drop-in visits throughout the week and can work feeding, litter box care, playtime, medication when needed, and one-on-one attention into my schedule.

Cats
Valerie can host up to 10 drop-ins per day
Before a visit, I’d like to know your cat’s normal routine, feeding schedule, litter box setup, personality, and any medical needs or medications. Please also let me know about any allergies, hiding spots, escape tendencies, or behaviors I should be aware of. Most importantly, please tell me if there is anything that may trigger your cat to bite, scratch, swat, or become stressed such as being picked up, touched in certain areas, brushing, loud noises, strangers, or other specific situations. I’d also love to know what your cat enjoys, including favorite toys, treats, brushing, cuddles, or if they prefer having their own space. Every cat is different, so knowing their preferences and boundaries helps me provide safe, comfortable, and low-stress 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.

These prices are for 1 cat, including a booking fee of 11%.
