Pet care experience

I have experience from dogs & cats to taking care of horses, for over 20 years. Certified in Pet First Aid & CPR. I own one dog and I also foster for Rescuer's Without Boarders. I am willing to take dogs from any age to any training level. Animals are allowed on the furniture and on the bed. Your best friend will be treated as part of the family. Dogs are kept on leashes and harnesses (as owner prefers). Dogs are supervised at all times outside and inside. I can crate your dog as needed or preferred.

Valerie took great care of our big babygirl! She was very flexible, taking her a night early at the last min, and she was incredibly attentive noticing a skin issue on her front legs, frequently communicating and sending pics. Thank you so much Valerie!

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.
