I'm an animal lover

Pet care experience

I volunteered at the Humane Society of Harford County for 5 years. I walked dogs, fed them, played with them, and cleaned up their kennels. I also fostered dogs, many were adults but some were puppies. I have experience with all types of animals including reptiles, birds, and amphipeans. I have had 5 dogs of my own that I loved dearly into their old age. I currently have 3 cats, 2 corn snakes, and a goldfish. I will treat your pets like they are family. I have experience with potty training puppies and training experience though I'm not a master.

Val has Pet sit for us and our 4 cats and 4 dogs on several occasions over the past few years. (Almost every year since 2018.) Her reliability, consistency of their schedules (a few senior pets- both cat and dog and younger puppies), good communication, Love for our pets like they are her own (they ALL come out of hiding to see her!!!) are why we trust her to keep watch while we are away. She was always on top of things if some pets were not doing well- communicating her concerns and observations. She always kept their areas clean and made sure they were let out or walked if need be regularly for potty time or exercise. The waterbowls were always full and had fresh water and the food bowls were filled at the scheduled times. Some of our senior pets were on oral medications which were given at the correct scheduled times. We have never had cause for concern because she was on top of things and again- did I mention our pets LOVE HER?!?? (Even the ones that like to hide!). If you are considering her to watch your pet, stop looking and give her a buzz. You won’t be disappointed! She will work with you to come up with a schedule and you can do what you need to do and she will take care of your babies!

Val is an excellent pet sitter. She was great in watching my dogs and cats when we were away. She takes great care in keeping with up with the routines. Very communicative when there were any questions. 10/10 would have her pet sit for me again.
