Trusted Child & Pet Care
Hello! Im Valerie, 17-year-old recent high school graduate with a genuine love for pet and children of all ages. I'm responsible, dependable, and excited to spend my time caring for pets while helping families have peace of mind when they're away. For the past four years, I've worked as a camp counselor, where I've learned the importance of patience, responsibility, and paying close attention to the needs of others. I've also dog sat for families on vacation, making sure their pets stayed happy, comfortable, and on their regular routines.
I believe every pet deserves to feel safe, loved, and cared for, and I'll treat yours like they're my own. Whether it's walks, playtime, feeding, or just keeping them company, I'm committed to providing reliable, attentive care and keeping you updated along the way. I look forward to meeting you and your furry friend!
