Availability
My job is Monday thru Friday from my home. I can easily take time to spend time taking care of pets. I stress when I’m away from my own pets and absolutely know the feeling of leaving them behind. I sometimes would rather stay home than go on vacation. I would love to help ease that for others and get to know all new pets.

Safety, trust & environment
I have somehow gotten my cats on a routine that wakes me up at 6am every morning. I don’t love it but it’s cute that they’re on a routine. I walk my dog every morning and give him a treat when the cats eat dinner so he doesn’t feel left out. He has food… he just doesn’t want it.
Information Valerie S. would like to know about your pet
Everyone has their own quirks, me included. Any detail that might be good to know is good to know. …I.e. my dog hates the fedex guy and I try to calm him down when the truck drives by
A typical day
Walking through a park so paws don’t get hot on concrete. I always keep dogs on a leash. It’s just safer. Maybe we could chase a duck or two if we’re lucky.

Pet care experience
Hi! I’m a lifelong pet lover with 3 furry family members of my own - 2 cats and 1 large, lovable (and occasionally uncoordinated!) dog. Walking him in all kinds of weather and navigating tricky apartment stairs and neighborhoods have given me plenty of real-life experience in safe, confident dog handling. At home, my two cats don’t always see eye to eye so I am comfortable recognizing signs of stress or tension between pets. I follow schedules and instructions closely and I know how much peace of mind it brings to get updates while you’re away. I’ll care for your pets the same way I care for mine - patiently, safely and with lots of love (and happy tails!)
Reviews
Valerie is truly the best. The dogs love her, we love her, she’s always accommodating, dependable, and punctual. We will continue to book her for as long as she’s available. I simply do not know what we’d do without her.
What a wonderful cat sitter. So glad we found her. Would definitely recommend!!!!!
Exceptional Care for Harley! We couldn’t be happier with the care Valerie provided for our dog, Harley. From start to finish, she was absolutely outstanding. Valerie went above and beyond to make sure Harley felt loved and engaged. She spent quality time playing with him and gave him so much genuine attention, which gave us such peace of mind while we were away. We also really appreciated the extra touches—she was diligent about cleaning his food and water bowls after every meal, which shows just how thoughtful and thorough she is. On top of her excellent care for Harley, Valerie was perfectly punctual for every visit and incredibly friendly. It is such a relief to find someone so reliable and caring. She is officially our "go-to" dog sitter, and we will definitely be booking her again soon! If you are looking for someone who will treat your pet like their own, we cannot recommend Valerie highly enough.
Above and beyond! Such an amazing sitter! She is such a joyful person and cares deeply for pets (: we will definitely be rebooking her for future trips, thanks Valerie! (:
