Happy Animal Lover Ready to Help!

Pet care experience

Hi! 🤗I am an animal person all the way! All my life, I've had dogs and cats as pets. Mom & I live in a log house that my dad built on 3 acres in McLendon Chisholm. So these house sits are my little stay-cations. :) On our farm we have 6 dogs, 3 cats & 28 goats that we rent out for goat yoga! I have a keen sense of intuition that assists me in meeting all your animals' & plants' requirements when you’re away. Animals always immediately feel at peace with me because I am a well balanced person emotionally and spiritually. I am a loyal, responsible Realtor that loves care-giving & world travel. I also foster animals with Dallas Animal Shelter & a local rescue. I will pamper your pets and love them like my own. When messaging me to meet and plan, please include the time of day you will be leaving & returning, any allergies your animals have, special requirements, & if they need to be crated when I’m not there. I don’t list boarding on my profile because I had a boarder dog almost kill my cat. But I may be open to bringing yours to my house if we all believe it will work. My pack is very accustomed to furry friend guests. Let’s make a play date!

Valerie was terrific!! She cared for my two little beasts and she was very attentive!! Loved her communication, responsiveness, cleanliness and care of the two loves of my life! I have a dog that is very sensitive and she was very kind to him. I would definitely recommend Valerie!

Valerie was exceptional, my fur babies were adored and I couldn’t be happier!! I came home to a clean house and happy dogs. I look forward to leaving town again knowing they will be in good, caring hands.

Valerie did an excellent job caring for our dogs and cat while we were away. She was very responsive and stayed updated with us pictures of our happy pets! She went above and beyond with our house chores and we are super appreciative of it! We would definitely recommend and book Valerie again!

Safety, trust & environment

I am open to interpreting the energy of the needs presented to me by pets and their humans. I am very free spirited and offer daily updates around 10:30AM each morning. However, some humans require more communication several times a day asking about their pets. I try to find a balance in enjoying the day and sending enough communication to the owners of all these sweet creatures! Sometimes when humans have cameras, I think they are watching us anytime they want, so there isn’t as much need for frequent updates.

Information Valerie S. would like to know about your pet

Do the dogs like to run when a door is opened? Do they have allergies or special needs? Are they good around other dogs and/or cats? How old are they? Are they a rescue or special breed? Do they have any trigger words or sounds? How much of the day are they accustomed to being with their human?

A typical day

A typical day will be to wake up, go potty outside (if they’re dogs) have breakfast, do a little real estate on the computer, throw the ball, take a walk, get the mail, take a nap….then dinner time and cuddle time!

Pets find joy in being around humans who appreciate their companionship. I find that the animals in my life adapt to my schedule and a synchronicity is developed between us, even if it’s temporary for a housesit.
