Availability
My schedule is very flexible for pet sitting. I drop my daughter off at school by 8:30–9:00 AM and pick her up at 3:25 PM. The rest of the day I work online only 2–3 hours, so I’m happily available for morning, midday, and afternoon dog walks, drop-ins, or house sitting. I walk my own dogs three times a day, which keeps me active and ensures I’m always ready to give your pets the regular outdoor time they need. Weekends and evenings are also usually open

Information Valeriia M. would like to know about your pet
Getting to know your pets beforehand is really important to me. I like to learn about their habits, character, likes and dislikes, routines, and any special needs ahead of time. This preparation allows me to build trust quickly and give them the calm, loving care they deserve right from day one Let me know about your pet's physical condition. Your pet's heart condition and ability to tolerate aerobic exercise. Let me know about your pet's pregnancy or other characteristics. What are temperament traits and what are triggers
A typical day
Every pet is different, so I adjust activities based on age, energy level, personality, and the owner’s routine. A typical visit includes feeding, fresh water, bathroom breaks, walks, playtime, affection, and making sure the pet feels relaxed and emotionally comfortable while their owner is away. For dogs, I enjoy active walks, calm neighborhood walks for seniors, fetch, basic reinforcement of good behavior, and giving them attention and companionship. I pay close attention to body language and energy levels, especially with anxious or older dogs. I also have a minivan, and with the owner’s approval, I can take dogs on safe outings during hot summer days — for example to a shaded park, a dog park, or the beach — to help avoid overheating and protect paws from hot asphalt. For cats, I spend time playing, talking to them, brushing if they enjoy it, and helping shy cats feel safe at their own pace. I also send regular photo updates so owners know their pets are doing well.

Pet care experience
25+ years caring for dogs of every breed and size, plus extensive experience with cats. I’ve helped deliver litters, given medications, and maintained spotless litter boxes. Cats trust me deeply — they often bring their kittens to my bed. I always take time to learn your pet’s routine, needs, and personality beforehand. I walk my own dogs three times daily and have a very flexible schedule, allowing me to provide consistent, loving care tailored to each animal.

Reviews
Valerria took great care of our two dogs!
Valeria is really great! I wish I could give her 10 ⭐️ she treated my dog like family, super caring and I could tell my pet felt comfortable and loved. My pet is super anxious but she is patient and that helped my dog be confident with her. Reliable, kind, and very attentive. I will definitely book her over and over again.
I travel weekly to Vancouver, B.C., and with my wife's busy schedule, Valeriia has been an absolute lifesaver for our family. She treats our dog just like her own. She is incredibly easy to coordinate with for drop-offs, and she has even picked up our pup from our house when we needed the extra help. 10/10 recommend! If you need a pet sitter you can truly rely on - it's Valeriia!
My experience of cooperation with Valeria turned out to be excellent. He showed himself as a reliable and responsible person, was always in touch and from the very beginning to the end sincerely cared about my dog, which is temperamental, requires a long walk and is very strong. I regularly received news and photos, and it was quite obvious from them that the dog was comfortable and under excellent supervision. Attentive attitude to all my instructions, maintained a high professional level and treated my pet as a member of his own family. This made me very happy, that's why we cooperate all the time. My dog needs long and active walks, as well as control, Valeria copes with it easily.
