What's better than EXERCISING while LEARNING something new.
Valentina is an excellent pet caregiver, very responsible and with great initiative. She has taken care of Rulfo multiple times (1 to 3-hour walks, whole day care and weekends) and for more than seven years now. She offers more than basic care for dogs because she is an expert in dog training and behaviour! She has taught Rulfo tricks and obedience, and even introduced him to buttons communication. She’s happy to pamper Rulfo with organic food and treats, and she gives me very useful and practical advice on how to maintain good habits 😊.
Valentina is the perfect sitter and walker for your dog! She has a lot of experience with dogs, her interest lead her to study animal behaviour and practice rescue activities in the Red Cross Organization with her retired dog Astro. So, if you have any behaviour you want to improve with your dog or cat, Valentina will be able to help you. She is very kind and loving, I have seen her unconditionally love and dedication to all dogs she has owned. She is also great with cats, she rescue and raised her own cat. Your doggie will be in good hands, as Valentina has a balance approach between affection and discipline. She took care of my one year old labradoodle, and did a lot of play and exercise as he is very energetic but also taught him some fun tricks, to remain clam and not pull the leash when seeing other dogs on the street.
Valentina was fantastic - when booking she was responsive and clear about availability; she was happy to come for a meet before to discuss; with our energetic teenage retriever she was kind, calm and clearly loves and understands dogs. She sent pictures of him training with her which was very reassuring. I will definitely be using her service again and recommend her highly.
Valentina was the perfect dog sitter. She was very accommodating to our changing schedule and was always polite and professional. Our two dogs enjoyed spending time with Valentina, who would give us daily updates. Our flat was tidy and clean when we came back from our trip. We are very pleased with Valentina and would book her again.
Valentina was reliable and looked after our cat very well, who was very content when we came back from our trip.
Valentina took care of our two cats when we were away on holiday and was great! We came back to find them settled and very well groomed and everything was in order! Look forward to booking her again for our next trip.
I’ve had the pleasure of having Valentina care for my cats, multiple times over extended periods, and I have always had a positive experience. Valentina is attentive and reliable, making sure my cats were not only well-fed and taken care of but also loved and comforted while I was away. Valentina provides regular updates and makes sure their routines are followed. It's good to relief know my pets are in good hands.
Valentina is communicative and took great care with our Pepper. She asked good questions when we first met and walked Pepper in our park. Valentina ended up taking Pepper to unscheduled post surgical follow-up appointments while we were away. She did well to communicate with us and follow vet instructions. We came home to a happy and well walked Pepper and a tidy home. Would request Valentina to dog and house sit again.
It has been an absolute pleasure to have you with us.
Thank you for your kindness and patience with my puppies.
Valentina is able to accommodate my dog's special requirements and Darcie was so excited to see her. Valentina has been reliable and takes great care of my dog. She has been doing some training and my dog is responding well. Thank you. I will recommend her for your pet too.
Valentina has been an amazing cat sitter for our Tzitzi. We were a bit concerned at the beginning as our cat was still recovering after being diagnosed with Liver Disease recently, so she was quite weak when we left for holiday. On our return we found Tzitzi to be in good form, having been well fed and taken care with much attention from Valentina. Her animal behavior knowledge has worked wonders and her communication was great too. We would highly recommend Valentina's services.
Valentina is a truly wonderful dog trainer. Her passion for animals is evident in her interactions with my doggie Vicky. She has helped us a lot with our recently adopted dog adjust to our home and overcome her anxiety. Thanks to Valentina's guidance, Vicky is now comfortable socializing with other dogs, something she struggled with before. Valentina's expertise is clear, and her ability to connect with animals is truly amazing. We're so grateful for her help.
