Hi, I'm Valerie! 
I moved last February to be closer to my 26 yr old daughter who lives in the neighborhood. Compassionate and experienced nanny, house manager, senior care provider & dog walker with over 7 years of experience. Adept at multitasking, creating schedules, and ensuring a clean, organized, and welcoming home environment. Skilled in managing children's needs & meal planning. I am CPR certified and first aid certified & have been in the dental field for over 30 years. I do have my own car and am a non-smoker. I also am a huge animal lover. I usually work M-F with exceptions for weekends if needed for date nights. Please feel free to contact me with any questions.

Val was AMAZING! She gave such care and attention to our pets while we were away. It made it so much easier to enjoy vacation knowing that Val was there in case there were any potential issues. Val provided so many updates on the pets, and followed the instructions left perfectly. She went above and beyond to ensure that our pets were loved and taken care of while we were away. I would highly recommend using Val! 

AMAZING. Hire her if you have the opportunity - the only reason we aren't using her full time is because we moved :/ she is amazing w kids and animals! Our little girl loved her :) I wish we were closer because I would honestly use her until my girl went to college haha!

I have known Valerie for almost 2 years in her capacity as both a child care and pet care provider.  She takes her role seriously as an extended member of the care team. By adapting to the needs of the families with whom she is working, she provides a professional yet very personal role in supporting the growth and development of her charges.  Her background gives her a depth of experience so that  she can adapt well to different household routines and personalities, and always lets her children and pets know that she loves them, will take care of them,  and will be there for them.  In short, she will come to be a a valued member of the family, which gives the children and pets the security and confidence they need while their parents are away.

Valerie is a wonderful friend and great care giver of all things living. She has taken care of my pets and is urgently fostering one of my fur babies who was severely injured and I could not care or her. She was also a very good friend to my wife before she passed away. Valerie is a lovely human being I just her with my life. She has also helped me many times now that I'm older. Whomever may have her services you will not be disappointed.

She was absolutely amazing! My girls loved her so much. Not only did  they love her, but my dog could not get enough of her too. She is the best sitter we have ever had, and my own parents are on that list.

Valerie was a perfect fit for my babies.   I was a bit nervous about being away for so long, especially with my 19yr old's special needs with meds and feeding.  I regularly received pics and updates.  She even went into handy-man mode to repair my doorknob when it malfunctioned!  I am confident my babies were in loving and caring hands.  Valerie was such a blessing to me and my babies!

Valarie is just a fit! We're really grateful that we found her. She helps with infants, toddlers, and fur babies! She's been great for filling weekly needs around child care. I would gladly recommend her!

Best pet sitter & child care giver I have ever had. very punctual, and extremely reliable. My dogs can't get enough of her, and my kids love her.  She has become a part of the family!

Valerie was very professional, she took care of my dog and cat, and she was very caring and loving to them.    She exercised my dog and she made sure both pets were safe and secure.     I would hire her back and would not hesitate to recommend her to anyone needing pet assistance.

She has such a caring heart. My daughter loves her.. She says Miss Valerie is funny, kind and thoughtful!  And my dog absolutely loves her, she is so excited to see her when she shows up! We know anytime we need her we have the best care possible!

You definitely want to hire her! She is awesome with pets and took such awesome care of my dog!

Valerie is extremely knowledgeable about animals, and she is very caring!

Valerie is a very sweet kind and caring soul. I felt completely  comfortable leaving my fur babies with her. She showed up on time and truly showed my babies the  attention and time they needed while I was away. I would highly Recommend her to anyone in need of a pet sitter or walker.

Valerie is a 5 star pet sitter and one of the best I have had in the past 30 years!  Not only did she provide compassionate care to my many pets (4 dogs, 1 cat and 2 parrots) as per my directions during her 9 visits to my home but she cleaned and vacuumed, picked up dog poop in the yard, emptied the litter box, washed dishes in the dishwasher and did laundry to clean up after my pets without my asking her to do so.  My house was spotless when I returned home.  I am beyond thrilled to have found her!
This is a real review- I just met Valerie 5 days ago- but I won't hesitate to use her again and strongly recommend her services to anyone looking for a pet sitter to take care of their beloved pets.

Responsible , caring , knowledgeable & friendly!
