Pet care experience

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 post a lot about my experiences with animals on my Instagram page @valerieandthenycpets 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. I also do Rover full time and would love to meet your pets!

Valerie was super responsive, friendly, and perfect with our two cats! She also helped with packages and making sure everything was working like normal at our home. We loved working with her!! Thanks Valerie for everything!

Valerie was awesome - she sent me so many updates and pictures which I really appreciate as an anxious cat mom 😊 will definitely be using her again!

Valerie was incredibly communicative and attentive. I’m an obnoxiously anxious pet parent so I was glad she was so understanding with me checking in for FaceTime for my girl Loba. She went above and beyond and I can’t thank her enough. I know it’s a lot for us pet parents (and pets) that have separation anxiety to be constantly checking, so if you’re an anxious pet parent like me I definitely recommend Valerie !!

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! ❤️
