Pet care experience

Here to give your pet the best time

Hello, I'm Valerie! I am a devoted pet enthusiast with 7 years of hands-on experience at home and local pet rescues. During my time there, I took on a variety of responsibilities including feeding, walking, bating, playing, and even training pets occasionally. Whether it's ensuring their daily needs are met or handling more specialized care, I've got it covered. With a background of vet intern, I am also comfortable with administering medications. As a lifelong pet owner, I understand the importance of creating a safe and loving environment. I am thrilled and look forward to brining my skills to your pets!

Safety, trust & environment

I want to ensure that you, your pet, and I are a perfect match. My approach begins with a sit-down session to understand your pet's routine, preferences, and your expectations. I believe open communication is key, so if any questions or concerns arise, I'll reach out immediately. I understand that entrusting someone with you beloved pet can be anxiety-inducing, and I'm here to alleviate that stress. I'll keep you connected through regular updates, whether that's sending pictures of your furry friend or providing text updates. Rest assured, I'm dedicated to creating a comfortable and happy experience for your pet while giving you peace of mind.

Valorie was great! She communicated with me well, sent pictures, and was honest. My pups seem led to have a good time :) Sh is so nice and genuine and took such great care of the house too.

Valerie is the most caring animal person I know. I have seen firsthand how she handles animals and have trusted her with my own dog (scrappy) many times (he loves her!). She is definitely a person you can trust.

Valerie has been walking my dogs for a few years now and she has been such a delight. She is incredibly responsible and helpful. My two dogs can be such a hassle but Valerie is patient and cares for them as if they were her own. The most reliable dog walker/dog sitter I know. It’s been a pleasure having her care for my dogs.

Valerie did such an amazing job taking care of my Golden Retriever Tobey, we went away for a couple days for a little vacation, and when we came back he was as happy as a puppy can be. Would definitely recommend for such a great service!
