Valerie was wonderful with our dog! She was quick with communication and was flexible with drop off and pick up times.

Valerie was great with Rue! Valerie sent great photos and kept me updated with how Rue was doing. She was so flexible when my return plans changed too.

I’m currently working full time but have flexibility if I need to break away to tend to a pet. I’m available on weekends and week nights for more undivided attention.

I have a fenced in yard and a fur child of my own to keep your dog company. I’ve been leaving my dog out of his crate while I’m away but will crate him if he’s alone with others.

Pets

A typical day

A tired pup is a happy pup! I love to take my furry friends on long walks and play ball if they're good off leash. I love to go to dog parks but can also cuddle and play with toys at home if that's more your style.

Let me know if your dog can be walked with other dogs and if they do well at dog parks. I also allow my dog on the furniture and on my bed, let me know if those are off limits.
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.
