Pet care experience

cat and dog sitter 💖🐱🐶

Hi guys!! Currently not taken in new pets :( (I wish I could!! But this is a one person team) if you need house sitting please reach out 🥰 I have the services off due to high demand. Hi! I’m Valerie and a little bit about me: I’m an animal rights advocate and I also volunteer with multiple rescues in the city. I completely understand the struggle of going to the store and missing your furry kids because they couldn’t come with you. I have a lot of experience and at the same time I’m constantly learning more about pets. Currently transitioning on rover from full-time to part-time as I’m returning to school so availability might change going forward, I’ll do my best to accommodate you and regardless of timing, I can always be there for your pet in the case of an emergency!

Valerie was incredible with our 7 month old puppy! It was clear from the moment she met Goose that she was an animal lover and was very experienced with dogs. While we were away, she sent tons of videos and updates to put us at ease, and Goose always seemed happy and relaxed with her. It made being away from Goose so much less stressful and I would 1000% hire her to take care of Goose in the future.

Valerie cares for our kitties like we do, and they love her visits! We appreciate knowing they’re in the best hands when we’re gone.

Schedule

Currently doing rover full-time! So most times work for me! I babysit every once in a while but I’m usually away for no more than 2-4 hours! Please keep in mind I rely on public transportation and some delays might happen that can be out of my control, if it’s an emergency I can Uber and make sure I’m there ASAP! For house sitting, I’ll be there most of the day but I’ll have to leave at some point in the day for a couple of hours (no more than 2-4 hours) If you’re doing daycare I will be with your pet the whole time you request but keep in mind the rates are different! ❤️

Safety, trust & environment

Rule number one: your pets safety comes first. Communication is key 🔑 I avoid environments that might put your pet at risk and would never do anything that you’ve not authorized to do.
