Pet care experience
I was lucky enough to grow up with dogs and I've found that they respond well to my positive laid back energy. I love to talk to them or sing to them and have used my voice and/or gentle massage to calm them if they're anxious. I'm an active person and I like to be out on "adventures" and play, so your pups will get a lot of exercise and interaction. I have some experience giving meds and working with dogs that have injuries or disabilities and am a very patient person. I also love cats and am happy to care for them and other animal friends as well. Pets are more than just pets, they are family and our dearest companions and I will treat them with respect and compassion, as they deserve!
Reviews
As long as I've known Valori , she's had a sweet and caring heart for pets and people. She'll treat your dog as lovingly as if it were her own. You can depend on her.
I have a Rat Terrier named Noodle. All I have to do is mention Valori's name and she gets excited and wants to go. Valori is a great dog sitter she'll take Noodle to dog parks and play fetch until Noodle can't play anymore. She always brings water along so there's no worry that she might drink contaminated water. She also makes sure to clean up any messes so no one else has to worry about it. Noodle isn't a big fan of rain so Valori picks her up and shelters her if she gets scared. I've even seen her offer her own sweatshirt to protect my little dog! Valori is the best! She loves all creatures big and small. She is reliable and trustworthy. I call her first any time I need help with my dog because I know she is in excellent hands.
I've known Valori for about 10 years, my dogs Rufus and Winston (and my lizard Gizmo) all love her! She's watched my dogs and house many times when I've been out of town. I've always found her to be dependable and while I'm away I'm confident that she gives my animals plenty of attention, exercise, and care. I would recommend Valori to watch your dogs, I know I'll continue to ask her to watch mine.

Skills
Information Valori A. would like to know about your pet
If they have any allergies or preferences. How they interact with other dogs - should I take them to a dog park or do they prefer human companionship only? Do they have tendencies that should be discouraged, such as swiping food off of a table?
A typical day
I'm happy to explore your neighborhood and parks with them, and if that isn't ideal I can take them somewhere where they can exercise and play safely. If you want, I can take them on a hike or a longer excursion, but I would only do that with your consent and encouragement.
