Qualified Pet Travel Enthusiast!

Pet care experience

My name is Valerie. I’m an honest, fun, and personable animal lover. Some of my favorite things to do are to go for hikes, take walks and be outside. I’m offering my services to be a traveling pet sitter and dog walker. One of my favorite dogs is the Australian Shepherd because of their high energy and intelligence, but I love all dogs equally. I'm a business grad from Western Washington University. And my name is Nick. I've lived almost my whole life with dogs - keeshonds, Norwegian elkhound, corgis, beagles, etc. I love how dogs can make you forget anything else going on with your life and appreciate their fun-loving, caring, happy nature. Walks with dogs are great for both of us and give great opportunities to explore and appreciate nature and the neighborhoods around us. I'm a civil engineering grad from University of California, Berkeley, where I lived for 3 years with a great little rescue dog named Muffin. When I'm pet sitting, I like to make sure your pet is taken care of. I understand travel schedules change. Why I love pet sitting: I have been pet sitting for friends and neighbors for 15 years now and professionally on Rover for several years. I have always had a strong connection with animals since early childhood and love the joy they bring to the world. Animals have always given me joy in my life! I've had many different jobs and this is definitely my favorite! My experience administering medication I can administer oral medication for cats, dogs, and other pets.

Bridget had a great time on her walk with Valerie! Valerie was very quick to respond, and Bridget was super happy post-walk. Thank you so much!

Valerie and Nicholas are great. They're very responsive, accomodating and took great care of my dog walking him while I was out of town. Would 100% use them again, and recommend them to anyone looking for a walker/sitter in Steamboat!

Information Valerie & Nicholas P. would like to know about your pet

I like all dogs. My favorite are medium sized high energy dogs! I love to go on long hikes or walks with dogs that can go on or off leash! I can also take care of other pets: cats, rabbits, lizards, hamsters, chinchillas, birds, chickens etc.

A typical day

Time I'll spend with your dog I have open availability and love to spend time with the animals I'm taking care of. Belly rubs included! I also enjoy taking the perfect photos of your pets! Extra house-sitting services I'm available to watch after the house including tasks such as collecting mail, taking out the trash, watering plants, cleaning or whatever else is needed. Anything within reason. Or if you don't have pets, I can house sit too! When I'm at your house I'm respectful of your property and I won't bring over any guests. I try my best to leave your house as if I was never there!
