My primary job is fully remote, so I’m home for most of the day. From time to time, I may step out for a couple of dog walks, but those are always short, and I’m never away for long. Because I live in an apartment community, it’s important that pets are comfortable staying home alone for short periods without excessive barking or howling, out of respect for our neighbors. The rest of the time, I’m almost always at home, so your pet will receive plenty of love, attention, and companionship throughout their stay.

Information Valeriia P. would like to know about your pet

Please let me know about your dog’s personality, routine, and any special needs or behaviors ahead of time. I’m happy to care for dogs with different temperaments and energy levels, but it’s important for me to know about things like anxiety, separation issues, reactivity, medication, food sensitivities, or anything else that may help me make your pet feel safe and comfortable.

A typical day

I love keeping dogs happy, active, and engaged throughout the day. We’ll go on regular walks around the neighborhood, explore the nearby park, play games, and have plenty of time for cuddles and relaxation at home. I also enjoy giving dogs mental stimulation through interactive play and letting them take their time sniffing and exploring. I always adjust our activities to each dog’s energy level, personality, and usual routine.

Pet care experience

I’m Valeriia - an animal lover to the core. Growing up, our home was always full of pets, so caring for animals has been a natural part of my life for as long as I can remember. Whether it’s an energetic dog or an independent cat, I love caring for animals of all ages, sizes, and personalities. And yes - I can absolutely handle a strong puller on a leash without breaking a sweat! 🐾 I am relatively new to offering dog walking and boarding professionally (turns out we just didn’t know this could be a job sooner!), but our first clients came through word of mouth-which I think says a lot. Now we’re excited to connect with even more pet families through Rover. 🥰 When your dog stays with me, they’ll be in a smoke-free, child-free home where they’ll feel safe, comfortable, and right at home. I live on the first floor with a spacious living room plenty of room to play and relax. While I don’t have a backyard, our community features a beautiful park and lake, making it the perfect place for calm, enjoyable walks. I am carefully follow every owner’s instructions, administering medications if needed, and sending frequent photo and video updates - so many that you’ll barely feel like you were apart 📸 One more thing: my English is still a work in progress, but don’t worry - communication is never a problem. And as for the pets? They understand me just fine. 🐾

I’ve known Valeria for a really long time, and she has this deep love for animals that’s hard to put into words. She takes care of every guest's pet just like it’s her own. She’s always very attentive and takes special requests seriously, like following strict walking schedules or giving extra care to pets with specific needs.

I trusted Valeriia with my dog, and she exceeded my expectations. She treated him like family, paid attention to every little detail, and made sure I always knew how he was doing with regular updates and adorable photos. My dog came home happy, relaxed, and clearly well loved. I wouldn’t hesitate to book with her again ❤️

I was a little nervous about leaving my dog with someone new, but Valeriia made the whole experience so easy. She kept me updated, followed every instruction, and sent the sweetest photos throughout the stay. When I picked up my dog, he was happy, relaxed, and honestly looked like he’d had a little vacation of his own. Valeriia’s the best!
