Highlights
Pet care experience
22 Years of Trusted Pet Care
I’ve been caring for dogs and cats for over 22 years and have loved animals for as long as I can remember. Growing up with pets taught me responsibility, patience, and how to understand different personalities and needs. I provide a safe, loving, and attentive environment where pets receive plenty of attention, playtime, exercise, and affection. I treat every animal as if they were my own and always prioritize their comfort, safety, and happiness. I live in a house with a fully fenced yard, no pets of my own, and plenty of space for your pet to feel comfortable and relaxed. As a professional photographer with 13 years of experience, every booking includes complimentary professional portraits of your pet at no additional cost. You’ll receive beautiful keepsake photos while your pet enjoys personalized care, attention, and love.

Qualifications
Ratings and reviews
Valeria was wonderful with Kai! She was able to accommodate us last minute, communicated consistently, and sent the sweetest photos throughout his stay. Kai seemed happy and comfortable, which gave me peace of mind. I really appreciated how attentive and caring she was. Would definitely book with her again!
Thank you Valeria for watching my dog last minute! I really appreciated getting texts, photos, and a video while I was out. He is a bit attached to me so I appreciated the kind gesture of easing my mind. Chato seemed to enjoy himself at your place. Thank you so much for the mini photoshoot as well :)
Valeriia was very profesional and kept me updated throughout the day. No complaints
Valeriia cared for my cat while I was away for a week. She sent daily photos, followed feeding instructions carefully, and my cat was calm and happy when I returned. I would trust her with my pets anytime.
Valeriia watched my dog while I was out of town, and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. She kept me updated, made sure he was comfortable and well cared for, and treated him like her own. One thing I really loved was that she surprised me with a few beautiful photos of my dog. It was such a thoughtful touch and something I’ll always keep. I would absolutely trust her with my dog again and highly recommend her to other pet owners
I left my cat with Valeriia for three weeks while I was away, and she made the whole experience stress-free. She was reliable, easy to communicate with, and clearly cared about my cat’s well-being. My cat can be a little picky and doesn’t warm up to people quickly, but he was comfortable with her from the start. It gave me a lot of peace of mind knowing he was in good hands. I would absolutely ask Valeriia to care for him again.

Schedule
I work from home and have a flexible schedule, allowing me to give pets plenty of attention throughout the day. Walks, playtime, feeding schedules, and companionship are always a priority. I’m available for boarding, drop-in visits, and pet sitting throughout the week and weekends.

Home characteristics
Safety, trust & environment
I provide a safe, comfortable, and personalized environment tailored to each pet’s needs. I live in a pet-friendly apartment community with a beautiful green park right on the property, just a one-minute walk from my building. This makes frequent walks, potty breaks, playtime, and outdoor exercise easy throughout the day. I carefully follow feeding instructions, medication schedules, and each pet’s usual routine to help them feel safe, relaxed, and at home.
A typical day
Pets in my care enjoy a balanced day with walks, playtime, cuddles, and plenty of attention. I adapt activities to each pet's personality and energy level. I also provide regular photo updates so owners can stay connected and feel at ease. For longer bookings, boarding stays, house sitting, drop-in visits, or extended walks, I love creating beautiful professional-style photos of pets as a complimentary gift for their families.

- Please let me know about your pet’s personality, daily routine, medical needs, allergies, fears, triggers, and any behaviors I should be aware of. I also enjoy reinforcing basic commands and positive behaviors. Even my own cat learned several commands through patience, consistency, and positive reinforcement.
