Dog Obsessed Professional

Hi! I'm Valerie, and I've been a dog lover for as long as I can remember. My husband and I have two spoiled pups of our own, so I know how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your pets. Whether your dog loves long walks, playing fetch, snuggling on the couch, or just sticking to their normal routine, I'm happy to meet them where they are. I'm patient, dependable, and detail-oriented, and I'll care for your pet the same way I'd want someone to care for mine. I'm comfortable following feeding schedules, giving oral medications, caring for senior dogs, and handling high-energy pups who need lots of exercise. I'll also send plenty of photos and updates so you can relax knowing your furry family member is happy, safe, and getting lots of love while you're away. I know every pet has their own personality, and getting to know them is one of my favorite parts of pet sitting. I can't wait to meet your best friend! 🐶💕

Pets

Safety, trust & environment

As a dog owner myself, I know how important it is to leave your pet with someone you trust. I follow your care instructions closely, keep routines consistent, and prioritize your pet's safety and comfort at all times. If your pet is staying in my home, introductions to my friendly dog will always be done slowly and only if appropriate. I'm also happy to send plenty of photo updates so you know your pet is happy and well cared for.

What a wonderful sitter!! She kept me incredibly updated, catered EVERYTHING for my dog, and went above and beyond. I could not have asked for a better person to watch my favorite girl!

Valerie was wonderful and was able to watch Willow during the day last minute for me. She sent photos and updates which I greatly appreciated and we’ll definitely use her again!

Valerie took excellent care of our little guy! She was flexible in drop off and pickup times which was a huge help coming from out of town. She also sent us pictures and updates so we knew he was doing well and snuggling with her :)

Schedule

I work full-time during the week, but I have flexibility for mornings, evenings, weekends, and some midday visits depending on location. Caring for my own dog is already part of my daily routine, so making time for walks, playtime, feeding, and lots of attention comes naturally.

I'd love to know your pet's daily routine, personality, favorite toys, medical needs, fears or triggers, and how they get along with other dogs—especially if they'll be spending time in my home with my dog. My goal is to make their stay as comfortable and stress-free as possible. 🐾
