Pet care experience

Your dog’s 2nd bestie

Get $20 off your first walk: https://www.rover.com/sit/valerm18349 Hi! I’m Valerie, and I’m so excited to care for your dog like one of my own. My love for dogs runs deep. My family and I adopted Molly when she was 4 years old, and while she came to us with anxiety and fear, with time, patience, and a whole lot of love, she blossomed into the most loyal and loving companion. I had the joy of caring for her for 8 beautiful years until she passed in 2022. During that time, I learned so much about adult dog care, understanding emotional behavior, and adjusting to different needs and personalities. Dogs have such a special way of bringing joy into everyday life, and I truly miss having that energy around. I know how much trust it takes to leave your pet in someone else’s hands, I’ve been there and I don’t take that lightly. Whether your dog needs a brisk walk, some playtime, or just a calm, reassuring presence, I’d love to support their routines, give them the love and attention they deserve, and help owners feel confident and at ease while they’re away.

Safety, trust & environment

Your dog’s safety and comfort are my top priorities. Whether I’m in your home or out on a walk, I follow your instructions closely and make sure your pup feels safe, calm, and cared for. I’m happy to send updates so you always know how things are going. Having been a pet owner myself, I understand how much trust this takes and I take that seriously.

I recently broke my ankle and Valerie was a life saver. She was very professional, on time and my pup was excited for their walks together. Will be using Valerie again in the near future.

Valerie was able to schedule a walk for Pepsi even on short notice and did such an amazing job with him. She was very professional and caring when it came to understanding Pepsi’s needs and getting to know him. From their initial meet and greet it was clear he liked her and that he would be well taken care of.

Valerie exemplifies clear communication and understanding for the needs of your pet. Punctual, responsive and adaptable. Valerie was incredibly easy to interact with and my pet will definitely be seeing them again soon!

Valerie is one of the best dog walker’s Scout has ever had :) she is so flexible and accommodating. It’s fantastic to know that my puppy is in good hands when I get pulled into work at the last minute or stuck in my office late. Always willing to help out and my dog loves her 💕 couldn’t recommend more!

Schedule

I work from home full-time as a digital marketer. I have the flexibility in my schedule to fit in regular walks, especially since I’m always looking for ways to move more and get outside. Walking dogs gives me the perfect reason to enjoy fresh air and exercise, something I miss doing daily with my own pup. Whether it’s a quick walk around the block or a trip to the park, I’d love to be part of your dog’s routine and help bring some extra joy to their day! Just message me ahead of time with your desired time :)

Before spending time with your pet, I’d love to know their routine, personality, and any quirks or preferences they have. Things like leash behavior, energy levels, favorite toys, any triggers or fears, and how they do with other dogs are super helpful. If there are any health concerns, medications, or special instructions, I’ll make sure to follow them closely. The more I know, the better I can care for your pup like one of my own!
