About Valerie

PLEASE READ BEFORE BOOKING

ABOUT ME 👧

Hi! My name's Valerie and I'm a passionate dog enthusiast who enjoys spending hours dog-watching and goes "Look, it's a dog! Awww!" at literally every dog I see.

I am originally from Ukraine 💛💙, and became a Sydneysider 4 months ago. I love high-altitude trekking, beer brewing, portrait photography, and animals (even spiders!).

MY EXPERIENCE🐶

I spent 7 years in Hanoi before moving to Sydney, and I sometimes just couldn't wait for my best friends there to leave on a road trip because it meant I got to spend time with their rescue pups. My other best friend who lives in Ukraine has adopted a beautiful dog and I fell in love with him before even meeting him last summer (it was mostly him, not my friend, who I wanted to talk to on our video calls). He turned out to be a reactive doggo but it took him only 2 weeks before he started sleeping in my bed with me :-D

CARE 👐

I work from home part-time and try to unwind from the chaotic and beautiful Vietnam in parks and on endless Sydney beaches.

I offer walks (30-60 mins) and home visits (30-45mins), overnights (I look after the pet at their place overnight - dinner through breakfast), and daycare (I look after the pet at their place during the day).

I can travel to your place either by walking or using public transportation (if you live a little outside of my area) and pick up and drop off your pet at your place, but regrettably, I won't be able to facilitate pick-up or drop-offs by car.

I live right next to Rushcutters Bay Park (10 mins walk) - a perfect place for dog walking and playdates. If you live in Darlinghurst, Potts Point, East Sydney, Surry Hills, Redfern, Paddington, Woolloomooloo, or Centennial Park area, and you're looking to give your doggo the exercise, cuddles, and attention they deserve, let's connect!

Valerie was absolutely fantastic! She’s a real animal lover, very attentive to detail, affectionate and passionate about what she does. Our puppy loved her as soon as they met. She made sure to follow all instructions and keep us updated on the “puppy date”. I would love to have her pet sit for us again and would recommend her to all other dog parents in the area!
