Pet care experience
I live in the North End of Virginia Beach, just a few blocks from the beach. I would be happy to care for your fur baby while you enjoy all our lovely area has to offer. I'm also available for locals who need help with mid-day potty breaks or short walks. I work from home, so your dog would have a fur buddy and a human present all day long to ensure its needs are met. I currently own 2 indoor cats - ages 8 and 10. To keep our kitties safe I open our home to cat-friendly canines only. My first job as a tween was pet sitting. When I lived in Utah, I volunteered at Nuzzles & Co. and The Ranch. Please reach out to set up a meet-and-greet or book a stay! A note about my rate-- it is higher than other sitters because I am home 24/7 and provide loving 1:1 care for any pet I sit. I don't accept more than one pet at a time (unless from same owner) and dogs in my care get walked. Not just access to a doggy door and unsupervised backyard. If special attention is what you desire for your pet, our home is here when you need it!
Reviews
My dog had the absolute BEST time with Valery! We loved that he was the only guest staying with her - what a great policy! She was wonderful to coordinate with and I would absolutely have my dog stay with her again. Thank you so so much Valery!!
My favorite rover I’ve ever used! my dog was very well cared for and made super comfortable. Plenty of walks and snuggles. Thank you Valery and Hunter!
Valery (along with her retriever Apollo and her cats Pumpkin and Simber) have been a godsend as our household balances work travel and long work hours. Our doodle, Bock Choy, gets overwhelmed around lots of other animals; Valery's house is the perfect environment for doggy socialization while not being too much. Bock has stayed with Valery four times so far, and as a dog parent, I knew for sure we were in good hands when Bock got real excited to go into her house the second (and third, and fourth) visit. I can't say enough good things.
While in town for a wedding, needed a Friday night babysitter for 2 dogs. Valery doesn't usually take multiple dogs, but after hearing the situation, she was willing to make an exception. She was ready and waiting for me when we arrived. Asked good questions about feeding and potty schedule and how they would do with her cats. I felt comfortable leaving them with a 'stranger'. Before I had even driven 2 miles to the event, we received a picture of them hanging out on the couch with her son. She sent a few more updates during the evening and asked good questions such as what types of treats they could have. They boys seemed pretty relaxed when I picked them up several hours later. I really appreciated the updates and her thoughtfulness.

I live in a pet-friendly condo with a doggy area and quick walking access to the beach. I'm used to having pets around me, so yours will feel right at home.
Home
Information Valery B. would like to know about your pet
Please let me know if your dog has any special needs, whether it is physical, mental or emotional. I'm happy to provide whatever support is necessary to help your loved one feel safe and comfortable.
A typical day
Dogs that stay with me will enjoy lots of pets and cuddles. I allow my fur friends on all my furniture, but if they are used to being crated at night, that's ok with me. The beach is just two blocks away, so walks along the water are a normal part of their "vacation."

Availability
I'm a full-time remote worker, so I'm home 24/7. My home is very chill and quiet, so the pets I sit instantly become family. It's a stress-free option to boarding.
