Pet care experience

My name is Val, and I’m crazy about pets! I will treat your pet like my own family member, giving him or her lots of special attention. I have over 10 years of experience caring for my own dog, cat and bird. I work full-time; however, I am available evenings and weekends to give away lots of puppy and kitty love. I have given my dog oral medication and have extra experience with cat medication that can translate to more difficult dogs. Thank you for reading my profile. I look forward to meeting you and your pet soon!

Valerie was just wonderful with my puppies. Very patient and attentive to higher demands of very young & not yet trained dogs. Couldn’t be happier with her service.

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.
