Highlights
Pet care experience
Available 24/7 - I love all animals
I have had 18 years of experience with dogs and other animals. I can do some basic grooming, take longer walks/runs, take them to the park, give regular belly rubs and just show them a ton of love! I’m always available to walk. I have a daughter that’s 5 years old and she’s my little helper! If you’re worried about your pup being too hyper or jumpy around her, don’t. She loves all the pups that stay with us and she’s very good at giving commands! (Not your typical toddler haha). But to be very blunt I am a young single mother just looking to make some money to support my daughter and myself. I know that not many people are comfortable with leaving strangers with their furry friends — as they are considered family. I feel the same way about my fur babies! So when you leave them with us, it’ll be their home away from home ❤️ Can’t wait to meet you and your babies! Hablo español!
Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Valerie is always so great! She is so accommodating and truly understands my special child. Sweet Pea always comes back exhausted!
Valerie is my go-to! I’m way too anxious and she keeps my worries at bay!
Sweet Pea has a great time every time she’s at Valerie’s! She comes home nice and tired and ready for a long nap.
Valerie was wonderful to work with! Easy to communicate with, friendly, accommodating—and most importantly—sent us lots of pictures!!
Did great with Sam!! Gave him constant supervision and made sure he was happy and safe. Helped me a TON when I needed a sitter last minute. She’s great if you want you dog safe and well cared for. Sent videos and he came back happy!
Valerie was a wonderful dog sitter!! You can tell that she really cares for the pets she welcomes into her home and does everything she can to keep them happy and comfortable. She also sent lots of picture and video updates to let me know my dog was doing great, which was so appreciated! I would definitely ask Valerie to dogsit again- she did an amazing job!

Schedule
I'm currently working from home, so I'm always available to cater to your fur baby's needs! Especially if I'm hosting multiple dogs, I will always be here to keep a sharp eye on them.
Where your pet will stay
Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I have an unfenced yard, so your fur baby will of course be kept on leash. One of my cats is overly affectionate and loves to play with other animals once they get to know one another. I think it's great for bonding, socialization and just having an overall calm presence around. (The other one is fat, lazy and hides the entire time haha).
Pets
A typical day
Any parks around the neighborhood, we’ll play fetch and try new tricks! I also encourage all my dogs to exercise a good amount to maintain their health. BTW I host up to 3 dogs a night. My space allows me to accommodate that many pups and if need be, I can separate them (walk them, feed them and have them sleep separately). I’ve had a dog-aggressive pup here with two other dogs and everyone was happy and calm in their own space!
