Highlights
Pet care experience
Dog & Kitty Lover Extraordinaire
Our family has always owned dogs and cats since I was old enough to walk, so I am very familiar with basic care of pets. I have also worked/volunteered at an animal shelter for two years doing basic grooming, bathing and walking, as well as administering oral medications. That’s a total of thirty years of animal care experience! I’d like your pet to be as comfortable as possible when I’m there. Let me know what you prefer. I am familiar with crating animals if this is part of your preferred care instructions. I am also familiar with giving animals special diets. When my own pets were seniors, we had to do a lot of adjusting to accommodate their needs! So if your pet has a special diet they need to follow for whatever reason, just give me instructions and I can do it.

Valerie also cares for cats. Learn about their cat-specific care experience.

Ratings and reviews
Valerie was a great pet sitter; she was a great communicator and our dogs were very happy and well cared for.
Valerie was an incredible pet sitter. She communicated with us daily. With three pets in and out of the house, Valerie kept everyone coordinated, fed, walked, and loved. We will definitely invite her to return for future multi-night stays. Thank you for building trust with us!!
We felt confident that our pets were being well cared for while we were gone. Thank you Val!
Valerie looked after my dogs in my apartment. She took care of them and my plants. She made sure I got daily updates and communicated through any changes in behaviour etc. I recommend her for a fuss free dog sitter
Thank you for taking care of my babies again!
Thank you

Schedule
I have given oral medications in both pill and liquid (syringe) form. I have never administered injectable medications, but I am willing to learn if that is something your pet needs.
