About Valerie W.
Communication
Safety, trust & environment
While I’m visiting your fur baby in your home, I make sure to give them whenever they need. Some animals need love and pets, some need their own space with a stranger. I will accommodate the wishes of both you and your pet while they’re in my care. As a pet owner myself, I understand the comfort of receiving tons of pictures and reports of your pet while you’re gone. I try my best to give a full report card!
Information Valerie W. would like to know about your pet
For first-time house sitting services, I would like to have a meet-and-greet session with you and your pets prior to beginning my service. I want your dog to feel comfortable with my presence in their home, for both their well-being and my personal safety. I resume the right to refuse my services per my own discretion, should I feel unsafe or uncomfortable at your home or with your pet.
A typical day
For drop in visits, I will be sure to give your animal the care that you specify and that they’re up for. Active dogs will receive exercise and play, while anti social kitties will have their safe space respected.

Experienced cat owner/feral rescuer
Pet care experience
Hello, my name is Valerie! I began neighborhood pet-sitting at 13 years old, and more professionally house-sitting as an adult. I currently have 4 fur babies of my own - a 14 yr old dachshund mix, 5 yr old rescued black cat boy, 2 yr old rescued black cat girl, and a 4 yr old maine coon boy cat rescued from my apt complex. I have to admit that drop in visits for kitties are my favorite! While I do love dogs, I think I’m a cat person at my core. I have had cats as pets since I was 7 years old, but when I moved to Tempe in 2020, I truly started to become a true cat lady. In addition to being a mom to my inside pets, I am a passionate feral cat colony caregiver ❤️ I have provided daily food, spay/neutering and emergency veterinary care to my apt’s complex’s colony 15 feral/stray cats for the last 4 years. As I fell deeper into the world of ferals and TNR, I frequently volunteer with the City of Tempe Animal Welfare to support any and all feral cat efforts in my area. I truly believe that my calling in life is to rescue and provide care to cats in need. (They always seem to find me! 😄❤️) I will work with you and your animals to ensure that they feel as comfortable with my presence as possible. I always respect an animal’s space and move at their pace. I have experience with giving oral medication to dogs and cats, as well as an inhaler for one of my kitty clients with asthma.
Reviews
Best sitter! She is great with my cats and goes above and beyond! We are so lucky to have her!
We have been using Valerie as our pet sitter for the past three years, and we couldn’t be happier with her care. Every time we are away, we have complete peace of mind knowing our animals are in such loving and capable hands. Valerie is incredibly reliable and consistently goes above and beyond with communication. Her updates and messages always keep us informed and reassured. It’s clear how much she truly cares about the animals she looks after, and we are always so grateful to have her care for ours. We wholeheartedly recommend Valerie to anyone looking for an exceptional pet sitter.
Do not know what I would do without Valerie! She is attentive and detailed and so lucky to have her watch my cats and refill my ferals bowl when I’m out of town! Kitties love her!
Valerie is always great with my cats and its such a relief knowing they are well taken care of when I am gone.
