Safety, trust & environment

I would prefer to care for a client's pet in their home rather than mine. For safety and preventative measures aligned with my Fear Free training received through Fear Free Pets, a Veterinary Professional Certification Program, I would ensure to provide a stress free environment, one in which the pets feels safe even though their owner may be absent and a stranger is present.

Information Valeska P. would like to know about your pet

Let me know if your pet has any needs or behaviors I can account for, whether those include certain medications or personal preferences you may have. I would like to prepare accordingly.

A typical day

I love to stimulate dogs and personally have high-energy ones myself, so I can ensure physical and mental stimulation. There's a great trail near my home where we often see cool critters so fun smells and a great time are a guarantee!

Valeska is the best! She’s one of the only people I trust to watch my pets. She always goes above and beyond with play, mental enrichment, photos, and record keeping. You could not find a more responsible person to watch your pets.

Valeska is the best! She watched my dogs for me when I was on active duty. She adjusted the enrichment for the dogs based on the temperature outside — inside play and puzzles if it was hot, and fetch outside if it was cool enough. She always prioritizes their mental stimulation above all else. My dogs are skittish with new people and they warmed up quickly to her. I would recommend her to anyone!

Each sitter joining Rover needs to pass a background check. And by booking on Rover, you can get photo & message updates, 24/7 support, and reimbursement for eligible vet care.
