About the caregiver

Hello! My name is Valerie I am super excited to care for your pets. I’m a current 4th year veterinary student at UC Davis finishing my clinical rotations and Wag helps me support my education. When I’m with your dog, I love them like my own. My goal for walks is to give every dog an engaging experience, whether that means we jog to burn energy, go slow and have a “sniff-fari,” or work together on leash manners. I am also available to pet sit in your home in the Marin area. My extensive veterinary training means I am very comfortable caring for pets with special medical needs. I am also well trained in behavior modification and happy to implement ongoing training. I even trained my own cat to sit, spin, shake, jump through a hoop and walk on a leash! One of my favorite parts of pet sitting and walking is keeping pet parents updated with photos and notes. I look forward to meeting you and your furry friends.
