Pet care experience

Making tails wag

I firmly believe that finding a sitter for your pets is just as important as finding one for your children. You deserve the peace of mind of knowing your pet is well cared for. I have more than 13 years experience taking care of various animals including dogs, cats, lizards, rabbits, fish and turtles. I have the most experience with large dogs as I have grown up owning and caring for samoids, Siberian huskies, German shepherds and boxers. My weakness is pitbulls and any other "bully" breed as they are vastly misunderstood but I welcome all breeds and sizes. I am currently in Clermont, FL and I offer overnight stays any day of the week and weekends. You won't have to worry about your furry (or scaly) family members as I will update you with daily pictures and communication. My special skills include administering oral medication, giving good baths and extra special cuddles. In addition to caring for your pets, I am happy to collect mail and bring garbage down. Thank you for considering me!

Val is so amazing! My pup gets nervous with thunder and Val sent updates of the the two of the snuggling while riding out some storms while I was gone. She was very professional and sent me multiple updates per day. I would definitely recommend her!

Our first time leaving Winslow with someone and obviously we were a bit stressed. Valorie was the perfect sitter and perfect for taking care of our baby . Winslow is normally shy around strangers yet but the time we got home she had a new friend in Valerie.

Schedule

I have a w-2 job where my schedule varies so I will be in and out throughout the day but I will always drop in to walk, play with and feed your pups/cats. I will also always be there overnight. I provide morning and night-time updates with pictures. My evening updates also signify that I am in for the day. Providing exceptional care for your pet is what I strive to do.

Cats
0 to 15 lbs
16 to 40 lbs
41 to 100 lbs
over 101 lbs
Valerie can host up to 3 drop-ins per day
I am comfortable with all breeds. The only thing I request is that you inform me of any signs of aggression ( toward humans and /or animals) and that we meet beforehand so your pup and I can meet and get comfortable with each other.
Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
