Nature walks and gentle petting

Pet care experience

I've been blessed with many canine pals thanks to my friends being dog owners. I've pet sat for dogs as small as yorkies and dogs as large as great dane/ bullmastiff breeds. I provide a friendly service of good care and good company. Together your pet and I will enjoy hiking, running and playing fetch. I'll provide them with proper nourishment and daily treats. If they aren't very mobile we can cuddle up together and enjoy some sweet rub downs. I'm available most weekdays generally from 8:00am-6:00pm. For overnight stays I can stay up to three days. I would prefer a detailed letter or note describing the type of care you expect from me. I want to ensure that I provide the best care for your dogs needs.

I was nervous using this service at first but Valerie made me feel better once she started sending me updates of my dog. Positive experience, I recommend her and I would rebook for sure!

Valerie is an honest person full of integrity. She has watched my cat for me several times and also taken care of my dog many times. My dog always gets super excited and happy to see Valerie when she comes to visit. Her positive attitude and love for animals is very apparent as soon as you meet her!

Valerie is one of the most caring individuals I have the pleasure of knowing. You will not find anyone more caring and humble than her.

Valeria is a great pet sitter, I highly recommend her! I met her playing on an adult soccer league, she was playing the position of Rover, she was quick, very reliable with the ball handling and would bark at the other opponents, now one would think this was strange! but to Not me, to me, it proved she was extremely loyal. After the game, we sized each other up, wagged tails and sniffed around a bit and the rest is history. She ended up taking care of my pup for a couple weeks. Her loyality quickly showed when she took care of my Pup named Rover. Long story short! She's great and my dog now plays on her adult team as The Rover, all due to Valeria's dog handling skills. 4 thumb paws up from dog and 2 thumbs up from me!!

I have a cozy place where your pup has free roam. I don’t have a yard or balcony. There’s a dog park one block away from my apartment. Plenty of neighborhoods to explore on foot. I have one Husky that loves to play. She loves friends and has a lot of energy.

Information Valerie R. would like to know about your pet

I prefer to work with dogs that are well trained or lightly trained. The smarter the breed the more trained I'd prefer it to be. I'd like to be informed of any special needs (diet, exercise, ailments, etc). I'd also like to be informed if the dog is an alpha. Does your pup get along with all dogs or only some breeds? Are they territorial? Do they require a lot of attention?

A typical day

We love walking through many neighborhoods, hitting the trails, playing at parks, and running on the beach. We can lounge at my place, and eat yummy meals. Playing fetch, and having time to smell all the smells.
