Pet care experience

Loving & Dependable Pet Care

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! 🐾

Pets

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!

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!

Amazing! Couldn't have been happier hiring Val to watch my dog. She was amazing! My dog would say the same thing if she could talk!

Valerie was great with our puppy Blue! She was easy to communicate with, and took really great care of him. We were very happy with the experience and would definitely recommend her.
