Safety, trust & environment

I cannot have pets at my place, so I will come to you. Please be transparent about any house rules. I promise to be as respectful as if it were my own home.

Information Valerie Y. would like to know about your pet

I’d love to know who your dog is friendly to. People? Other dogs? Is there anything you’ve been working on together that you want me to help enforce? Is there anything you want me to be aware of?

A typical day

I’ll take your dog for walks around your neighborhood, to the dog park, and maybe even on the trail with me. I’m happy to play with your dog. I’m also happy to work on any obedience training as well. And there will always be lots of pets and treats involved.

Valerie Y. has Star Sitter status

The Star Sitter program highlights responsive sitters who deliver highly rated care and have a history of listing accurate availability and preferences, making it easier for pet parents to find the best care for their pets.

Dog lover of all dogs

Pet care experience

I grew up with dogs and have always been asked by family, friends and neighbors to care for their dogs. I’ve successfully cared for the well-behaved and the ill-mannered pets. My family knows me as the dog whisperer, and my friends know to look for the closest dogs when they loose me in a crowd. I believe that a tired dog is a happy, good dog. I will gage your dogs abilities and let them set the pace. I am a neat and tidy person. I can follow the dog rules as well as you explain them to me. I'm currently enrolled in graduate school, and have classes that I have to attend in person. This means that I may be gone for up to 6 hours at a time for classes. My goal is to make you and your dog happy and for you to know that your pet has the best care.

Valerie is a recurring sitter for our two pups and as always did an amazing job with our girls! She is great with daily updates and we can tell she really loves our dogs!

Valerie was communicative leading up to and during her stay. She left my home the way it was when she got there. Most importantly, she cared for and loved my dogs as if they were her own!

Valerie was a great caretaker and companion for our dog while we were out of town. Highly recommended. Will be looking to work with her going forward.

Valerie provided thorough updates and checked in with pictures daily. She took the time to visit beforehand and meet our pups, and was able to make sure their individual personalities and energy levels were respected. We felt very at ease knowing they were in excellent, caring hands! We would trust Valerie to house sit again!

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.
