We are SO thankful we found Valerie! 🥹 We reached out to her super last minute and she was kind enough to accommodate us the very next day. She even came over the night before around 7pm just to meet us and Prince and make sure everyone felt comfortable before his first visit. During her visit, she went above and beyond. She fed Prince by hand (cause our little guy is so extra sometimes), cleaned up his potty pads (and always wiped his little bum), and even stayed and played with him for two whole hours! 🥹🐶 It gave us so much peace of mind knowing that he wasn’t just being checked on, but was actually getting the same attention, playtime, and love while we were away. We’re incredibly grateful for how caring, accommodating, flexible, and attentive Valerie has been, especially on such short notice. As fellow nurses, we also really appreciate how dependable and caring she is. We already feel so comfortable having her care for our little guy and would absolutely recommend her! 🤍
