Safety, trust & environment

In my home and at my clients' homes, the safety and well-being of pets are my top priorities. I establish a strong bond with both the pets and their owners through open communication, regular updates, and a personalized approach to meet each pet's unique needs. Whether it's following specific feeding routines or adhering to medication schedules, I take every detail into account.

Information Valeriia B. would like to know about your pet

To provide the best care, it’s important for me to know a few key details about your pet in advance. This includes: Daily routines: Feeding schedules, exercise habits, and any special rituals they are used to. Medical needs: Health conditions I should be aware of, and emergency vet information. Behavioral traits: How they interact with other pets, people, or certain environments, and any triggers that may cause anxiety or stress. Training: What commands or behaviors they are familiar with, and any ongoing training or specific rules you follow at home. Favorite activities: What they enjoy most—whether it's playing, cuddling, or relaxing—so I can keep them happy and comfortable. The more I know, the better I can tailor my care to ensure they feel safe and at ease.

A typical day

I rely on each dog owner's preferences and what their dog is accustomed to when planning fun activities. For dogs who love being outdoors, I enjoy taking them on walks or runs, allowing them to explore their surroundings while staying safe. For playful dogs, we can engage in games like fetch or interactive toys. For those who prefer a calmer pace, we can take leisurely walks or simply relax together. For cats, I provide a stimulating environment with toys that encourage their natural instincts, like feather wands or laser pointers. I also spend quality time with them based on their preferences, whether it's playtime, lounging in their favorite spots, or simply offering attention and affection.

Pet Care When You Can't Be There!

Pet care experience

Growing up, I had hands-on experience with pet care, starting at 12 when I helped my family take care of our Rottweiler. I assisted with feeding and went on regular walks with my parents, learning how to manage a strong and active dog. Later, when my parents got a Golden Retriever, I helped out occasionally with his care, supporting them with walks and some daily routines. This early exposure to different dog breeds has given me a solid foundation in understanding various needs, especially for larger breeds and family dogs.

Val took such amazing care of our cats! She also took beautiful photos of them, which was a highlight to receive each day. Val is super communicative and reliable, and we would absolutely have her look after Tato and Momo again.

Valeriia has watched our two dogs a few times now, usually whenever we go on vacation, and she has been wonderful every time. She recently accepted our request even on late notice, which we really appreciated. Our dogs love her, and it’s clear she is very good with them. We always feel comfortable knowing they are in caring and capable hands. Highly recommend Valeriia!
