Safety, trust & environment
When caring for pets in your home, I’ll make sure they feel comfortable and secure in their own space. I’ll follow your routine—whether that’s feeding, walks, playtime, or medications—so your pet’s day feels as normal as possible! My goal is to give them plenty of love, attention, and care while giving you peace of mind that they’re safe and happy. I truly love all animals like they're my own!
Information Valerie Y. would like to know about your pet
I love pets of all shapes, sizes, and ages! Please let me know, though, if your pet has any special needs or behaviors that would be helpful for me to know about ahead of time.
A typical day
Each pet is unique, so I try to give them the individualized care that best suits them. If your pet is playful, I'd love to play fetch or tug-of-war with them and their favorite toys ☺️ If your pet is more on the chill side, I'll give them belly rubs, snuggles, and make sure they have a comfy place to relax. Whatever their personality, I'll listen to their needs and will care for them like my own!

Loving & Dependable Pet Care
Pet care experience
Hi there, I’m Val! I’d love to be your pet’s new buddy and trusted caretaker. I've been caring for pets for over 20 years and have a huge love of animals 😊 Being around dogs all my life and having two dogs of my own, I know how important it is to have someone you can rely on to care for your furry family members. Whether it’s a walk, a drop-in visit, or some extra playtime, I’ll make sure your pet feels loved, safe, and happy while you’re away! I'll also send you updates on your furry family members while you're away to make sure you have total peace of mind. I’m dependable, detail-oriented, and always happy to tailor visits to your pet’s unique needs (whether that means a long walk, belly rubs, feeding, or just a little company!). You can count on me to treat your pet with the same care and affection that I’d want for my own. Let’s make sure your pet gets all the love and attention they deserve—I can’t wait to meet them! 🐾

Reviews


Val was super nice and communicative! We loved reading the updates and seeing all the pictures. It’s always hard leaving the cats, but she made us feel like they were safe and cared for.

Valerie was so sweet and helpful making sure our fur baby was fed and cared for. Thank you so much!!

Valerie is always amazing with our puppy, Blue! She has watched him multiple times and we always know he’s in great hands. Blue absolutely loves her and she’s always so kind, reliable, and attentive with him. It gives us so much peace of mind knowing he’s with someone who cares about him so much. We truly appreciate her and would recommend her to anyone looking for a wonderful sitter!

Great as usual. We absolutely love her.
