Pet Sitter in Tacoma, Washington

I'm an
Individual
HOUSE AND PET SITTING I can customize my services around your specific needs. We are available for overnight, day services, vacations, work trips, etc. Your home or mine. I have a large, fully fenced yard. Pricing starts at $25 for daycare. Rates vary based on length of stay, number of pets and the amount of care each pet requires. There is also a difference in pricing if we are sitting at your home or mine. When we house sit, we leave your home better than we found it. For an additional charge we can also provide a thorough cleaning to your home while you are away. Come back to a nice clean home and a happy pet. My home is quiet and laid back. I run my business from home so I'm home most all the time. I also have a helper, Michelle, that assists me with away stays. She covers for me if I have to be away for any length of time or if for any reason there would be an emergency. My pet, Princess Meow Meow, just loves the company of other animals. We are always available to do a meet and greet so you and your pet can come by and look everything over to see if we will be a good fit. ABLE SERVICES - 253-320-...

She cleans our home, dog sits for us while we're on trips, does maintenance at our home and at our rental home. We feel so blessed to have her and her team work for us. She is very honest, reliable, gets the job done fast and thoroughly. I hope she'll continue to work for us for a very long time!!! Lyn B in Graham Val was easy to contact and coordinate with. She took good care of the dogs and neither was in any way upset after the visit. I highly recommend Val's service! Matt A. Our dog enjoyed her stay with Val, she was in good hands. Adrienne W. Val stayed at our house for a week, taking care of our two Portuguese Water Dogs. Val was very professional before our trip. She came to our house twice to make sure, once for an interview and once near the time of the trip to get final instructions. She struck us right away as a very conscientious person. Val stayed in contact with us throughout our trip, and we came home to two happy and healthy dogs, and a freshly cleaned house. We will certainly have Val come to stay with our dogs again in the future. Rebecca S. Wow! I don't even know where to start. This was a wonderful experience. We got emails and updates on our furry kids. The house looked awesome when we got home. No muss, no fuss, and no worries about the kids in a kennel. Thanks for making this a worry free vacation. Stephanie P. Val was supportive through the website responses -She was prompt to answer questions and she even made accommodations the week of our trip! During our in home visit I could tell that Val genuinely enjoys animals and also is involved in activities and hobbies that make her a well rounded person with an energetic personality. Our Sophie did well even though it was her first time overnight with someone else - she is five years old! I'm very grateful for the time away and the confidence this service and Val has given me to take this step for dog care. Jennifer J. Val was wonderful with my little baby shih tzu, Le Le. She treated him like he was her own and sent me updates with photos because she knew I missed him. Thanks so much, VAL. Debbye L.

Recommendations

Valerie Smith is a wonderful pet sitter. We considered ourselves very lucky to have found her. Both our home and our pets were in great shape every time she sat for us. We have moved out of the area and will miss having her available for when we travel. I recommend her highly.

Valerie Smith takes care of my sweet little shih tzu, Le Le, when I go out of town. He is like a member of my family, so I don't trust just anyone with his care. Valerie is a loving and compassionate caregiver to Le Le and treats him just like she would her own well-loved pet. He looks forward to going to her house and she always keeps me informed on how he is doing through texts and photos. I highly recommend Valerie.

Valerie is a great pet sitter, I wish she lived closer as we drive about 20 minutes each way to use her services because she is up to the challenge of our two rescue pups with calm and ease. She is the only person we could find in the area that takes dogs and doesn't already have dogs of her own. One of our dogs only gets along with certain other dogs and also doesn't care for new visitors. Valerie has done an exceptional job having availability and not making us feel like our dogs are any extra work even if they are counter surfers and garbage divers.
